Cavaliers (13-11) at Celtics (17-5) Game #23 12/13/23

[blink]

Mitchell is just really hard for us to stop, we have good defenders, but he just wiggles, and zags a bit and he is in the lane for a 6 footer.

[Atzar]

I'm not a fan of sticking Stevens in the corner and asking him to spot up for threes.  That's just setting him up to fail IMO.  Let him screen or put him on the baseline.

We need to be getting some easier shots than this and stop relying on making these tough shots.

Like that offensive rebound wide open three by White haha

[SCeltic34]

Huge shot by White.

Tatum has been as bad as Brown hurting the team by holding the ball leading to stagnant offense and awful shot selection.

[radiohead]

DW would fit in nicely with the 86 Celtics. Such a no nonsense blue collar guy.

[SCeltic34]

Tatum is working a bit too much and it's too much iso.  We can get easier shot creation.  Fortunately he's getting to the FT line now.

[Atzar]

We've had four plays tonight where guys airmailed a pass to a cutter for a layup/dunk.  Rein these in.  Love the mindset but gotta finish the play. 

[jpotter33]

Good timeout by Joe. Our offense is ugly right now. Too much iso and trying to do it individually, even if trying to create for others.

We sometimes tend to go away from KP in these instances. I'd like to see us get him a good open shot or post up opportunity on a mismatch here.

Yeah I don't hate the turnovers where we are trying to make the right play.  The JB pass to KP going to the rim.  That is the right play just too much mustard on the pass.   Even dialed down 5% and probably ends in a KP dunk. 

[SCeltic34]

Both teams struggling in the 4th.  But huge play by Brown.  Struggling with his shot in the 2nd half but that's a huge offensive board and assist to Holiday.

Wow Tatum!

[blink]

great play by JB - the rebound, save and assist to Jrue

Great play!

[A Future of Stevens]

What a fantastic loose ball play by Brown. That's winning basketball
