Bounced back onto Jrue. Minny ball. Unlucky.

Great hustle.

Tatum really needs to be able to rise up against these kinds of opponents if we’re gonna talk Banner 18. Still a little lacking in that regard. So far Ant has outdueled him
He is playing uninspired, a lot of standing around.

Minnesota on a back to back getting in at 1 pm today without two starters outworking the Celtics.

Just an embarrassing effort

  • On To Banner 18!
The Wolves defense is elite

Also I feel like there’ve been multiple stretches in this game where the score is the exact same for a handful of minutes which nowadays is rare in the NBA lol

This team is slowly morphing back into last year's team. Totally over-reliant on the three, and when we're not hitting threes or missing a starter, we're very beatable.

Virtually that entire quarter was an exercise in poor shot selection and decision-making, led by our best player.

Missing KP, resembles last year’s team

White, Holiday, and Horford are a combined 8-27 from the field. Hopefully they can get it going in the 4th.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Pacers loss is going to be the start of a multi game losing streak.
Tomorrow will be more of the same

It’s the whole team. We really needed to show up this week and it’s going incredibly poorly so far. Not great with Milwaukee tomorrow.

It feels like that ‘do something’ meme where the boy is poking (in this case, the Celtics) with a stick

Not surprised at all by the results this far…minny has the best record in the west and are a legit team looking to prove themselves throughout the season and the Celtics have the best record and all but are clearly a little overrated especially against legit competition playing hard

God White has been bad the last handful of games. Don't think we can win this with both him and JT stinking it up.

Lazy Celtics have shown up for 2024.

Just keep chucking, guys. Clearly it's working.  >:(

This extreme three point philosophy is not going to lead us to the promised land.

Ahhh. Pritchard forced that 3 after getting blocked the previous possession.
