Crap start to the 3rd!

[jpotter33]

My God, JB. Pull your head out of your butt. Stop forcing things when they're not there leading to turnovers.

[SCeltic34]

We're missing great looks.

[jpotter33]

Call a timeout, Joe! Don't give up a big lead sitting on your hands when we're clearly reeling and not getting good looks or hustling.

[Who]

I like Lu Dort.

[NextCeltic34]

I really wonder if dudes on the team or coaching staff have ever told Jaylen like dude you don't got handles like that

[Celtics Mike]

 Sluggish start to the 3rd lost all the momentum

[Who]

Big risk by SGA trying to steal that ball from Porzingis. Could have easily picked up his 5th foul there. Dumb play.

If he is being aggressive like that on D, keep attacking him. Only a matter of time til he makes his 5th foul.

[CelticSooner]

C's gotta play smart, took some dumb shots. This deficit will get to high if they are not careful.

[PAOBoston]

Maybe try covering the pedophile

[jpotter33]

Okay, the KP on Giddey experiment is not working. Can we not defend their guard with our  center?

[Who]

Quick launch by Giddey. Starting to feel confident from 3.

[liam]

SGV just ran over D White...

[Who]

Tatum is making some great moves to the basket. Strong physical drives & cuts. Overpowering people.

[blink]

SGA is too tall/long for White or Holiday. Need Tatum to guard him.

As good of a defender as Tatum is, SGA is way too fast for him. You'd essentially be giving up a height disadvantage for an even greater speed disadvantage.

Brown is probably our best bet guarding him, but he picked up two early fouls.

Sidenote - did not realize SGA is 6'6"! I thought he was closer to 6'1" or 6'2" with his speed. Man, no wonder he's so unguardable.

me too on your side note,  i had no idea he was that big
