These are the types of games where you would kill for a quick playmaking PG to create easy shots for guys.

Just not enough high quality dribble penetration.

I'd kill for them to stop asking out of layups for 3's
Back to wanting Joe fired.

That’s game I think. Haven’t liked the way they have played this entire game. Minny enforcing their will on the Cs. Teams with size give the Cs big time problems.

We haven't had the same near-All-Star Derrick White for a while and it's hurting us.  He's not hitting shots and he's making a lot of mental mistakes. Wonder what's up with him.

It’s going to be hard to win the game shooting 41% from the field..
Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:

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.

Embarrassing. We're never going to win with this ridiculous offensive philosophy. 53+% of our shots from three, and we literally have no backup plan when they're not falling - just to continue shooting them.

Celtics are a good team. GOOD. They’re also the most overrated team in the league. Been saying it all year. Deep down nothing has changed with the jays. More often than not against legit competition playing hard they fold. Also all I hear is how awful the bucks are and how amazing the Celtics are. A couple games separate the 2 teams. Overrated.

REFS ARE KILLING US. Edwards holds Tatum's arm right in front of refs!

God, can't even make the obvious holding call on the jumpball.

NBA officiating is such a joke. Get rid of them all and restart fresh.

White has been downright atrocious on both ends. Constantly getting burned by role players or helping too far off defensively, and then forcing bad shots and missing makeable shots offensively.

  • Sometimes there's no sane reason for optimism
We keep hearing about last year’s team and hoping we don’t revert to it. Last year, we won 57 games and was much deeper. Without the Brogdon injury or the Tatum ankle sprain, we very well might have won.

There are no guarantees with this group. Jrue is good, but not great and we have no bench at all. Better hope we don’t face Minny in the Finals if we get there because I’m pretty sure they are just flat out better than we are.

TWolves have had a response every time.  Made timely buckets the entire game.
