Getting beat down!!!

[celticinorlando]

60 plus points given up before the half.
This team is a joke.

Down 20 points at home to the worst team in the history of the sport

[SCeltic34]

32 to 16 quarter so far for the Pistons.  I don't even know what to say about that.

[liam]

BOO!!!

[blink]

this is embarrassing, Pistons 1st to every loose ball, every rebound.
we just don't seem to care.

[blink]

BOO!!!

they deserve it

[jpotter33]

Honestly, just bench the starters the rest of the way and let them blow us out. What an embarrassing showing, particularly from our best player who just wants to settle offensively.

[jpotter33]

STOP SHOOTING DANG THREES! It's really not that freaking difficult, guys.

[satch]

Piston want it more.

[liam]

No D no O!

[celticinorlando]

Jacking up 3s and no defense at all

This is embarrassing. Laughable. Shameful.

Celtics are nowhere in the same league of the bucks.

[blink]

we are going to be down 20+ at the half....

we are doing a lot of watching the other team hustle

[PAOBoston]

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.

It’s not always the coach’s fault. At some point you need to look at the players. We all knew the effort would be lacking tonight by this team. This performance is NOT surprising in the least. When your stars don’t bring the energy and just go through the motions, it is evident.

[Roy H.]

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

lets get to the rim.

Shoot more threes.  No adjustments.
