Pistons (2-28) at Celtics (23-6) Game #30 12/28/23

[blink]

we are 4/20 from 3
and 9/16 from 2

lets get to the rim.

Just unbelievable. How are you not prepared to play this game? EVERYONE knew exactly how this was going to play out given the losing streak and playing against us with a target on our back, especially at home, yet we still can't even come out prepared and do anything but jack threes?

This is why so many of us are still questioning Joe and his overall radical three point shooting scheme. Without the likes of a Curry, Thompson, etc., this type of scheme is just too risky with too much variance in the playoffs. Further, it doesn't seem like Joe differentiates between high and low quality threes at all, with us shooting a good proportion of low quality threes.

9 turnovers and all of them unnecessary

The Celtics current man-to-man offense is what traditional zone offense used to look like.

[jpotter33]

Wow, would you look at that, Tatum. You get a wide open layup when you actually take it to the rim instead of just settle for a poor three.

[celticinorlando]

When they don’t make threes they suck. Have no other offense to go to

For me it isn't even about Joe at all, he is still not a great coach, but our core guys, they know better than this.
Tatum, Jrue, Horford, KP, DWhite....those guys set the tone, lack of energy.  It is on them 100% today I think.

27 straight NBA teams in a row have come out ready to play against the Pistons, and yet we can't.

[SCeltic34]

Keep bombing away.

Shooting blanks!

[blink]

This is why Tatum being such a 'quiet' leader kind of sucks.
The team needs someone to get a little angry, at least a little vocal.

Pistons are attacking US in the paint, no resistance.
Our team needs to decide they are going to make it hard on the Pistons

[celticinorlando]

This team just never ceases to disappoint.

Have shot themselves out of this game.

What a lazy team.

This voids everything they did out west

[SCeltic34]

Our players deserve to be booed.

[jpotter33]

Where the heck is Porzingis, Joe?

Don't you remember Joe's infamous quote from last season about quantity of 3-point attempts ?
