When the Celtics go cold it’s bc they’re shooting exclusively threes

Nothing to do with shooting 3s, it's that they don't do anything offensively. Just wait around until time is running out and then take a tough contested shot, usually a 3.

2 plays ago, it was Tatum standing at halfcourt just looking at the other 4 spread out, with 1 player dribbling the ball trying to go 1 on 5 or some such.

What kind of offense is that? There's no energy, no ball movement, nothing. They don't put any pressure on the defense. Just standing around doing nothing.

Why they trade for Tillman???

Cause he can guard out on the outside and hold his own inside but for him to do that he'd have to play.

What a sorry effort so far. Outside of Al and White, of course. A little intensity and this would have been a blowout by halftime. Instead we're going to see out starters logging 35+ minutes again.

For the life of me, I'll never understand why we are force-feeding so many minutes to Kornet when we have Al-lite just sitting on the bench.

And Jrue is back to being useless offensively again. Dude went literally two months between putting up consecutive 15+ point games. He's not supposed to be a lowly role player. He was a freaking All-Star last year. Enough with this beyond the stats bs. We need stats from him - especially scoring stats without KP

So Tilman slept with Joe's wife, right?  It's the only reasonable explanation why our tough, switchable defender sees no minutes.

LOL. i was about to say maybe kornet has naked pics of joe and said if u play Q or X over me i am posting them.
LET'S GO CELTICS!

Joe's fascination with Kornet should be considered a war crime. Dude is BBQ chicken to Mobley of all people right now.

this is how you know the C’s are an undisciplined, poorly coached team: the high pnr with white and jt is unstoppable tonight, but joe isn’t running it consistently.

it’s not a traditional pnr but a high pick with jt “slipping” when he gets his body behind the defender, which suits jt’s skill set (and our standup shooters) perfectly.

when championship teams bog down on offense, they go to their bread and butter action and feast on mismatches. this team decides to jack threes.
