And here we go again

This is tiresome

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

Off to a fantastic start.

[jpotter33]

And another terrible start.

Our offense is awful and one-dimensional right now. 7 of our 10 shots have been threes so far, and maybe 2 of them were good looks. The others were all pull-ups on fastbreaks, in traffic, isos, etc., and we've become so reliant on the three that we have no offense if we're not hitting our threes.

I hate this Mazzulla Ball.

What a fantastic start. Lazy offense leads to absolutely terrible defense.

This team resembles the 2022 team and how it started the season.

[jpotter33]

Oh my Lord. We just gave up a 3 on 2 fastbreak and a layup opportunity to take a three, which only led to a missed three, a turnover, and a fastbreak bucket on the other end. I repeat - I hate Mazzulla Ball.

EDIT: 11 of first 15 shots from three.

He's got to get these guys reined in. They don't even look like they've had a coach the last few gamss

[mobilija]

Anyone have a good streaming website. Sportsutge and streamers seem compromised, lotsa pop ads and streams seem to conk out often a little while

[Who]

Another slow start

[Silas]

Still having problems posting tonight, and the Cs suck so far.

I understand why a lot of these 3-pointers are going up. I'm pro-high-volume shooting.

That said, this Celtics team has so many guys who are good at driving and passing that I feel like they can generate those open looks at will. I feel like they can probe a little more than they have this season

Even Karalis - who is generally as optimistic and pro-Joe/this team as they come - has been questioning how overly-focused we've been on the three point attempts this year. We're shooting over 8 (!) more per game than we did last year. That's crazy.

[Phantom255x]

On a side note, has Jrue made a 3 lately? I feel like everytime he takes it he misses now...

[Yuckabuck33]

Why do we keep drawing Marc Davis?

[jpotter33]

At least Tatum is attacking more tonight and not settling for bad threes.

[Phantom255x]

Much better end to the quarter. Love seeing JT take it over a bit too
