Stop chucking early shot clock threes, guys.

Feels like Joe's first year. They're giving the "we'll flip the switch' vibe.

Absolutely. And I think the increased three point volume only exacerbates this attitude, because they can regain a lot of ground quickly by hitting threes.

I remain mystified how a team with this much talent can look this bad at times.

It's really quite simple.

When the Celtics don't make enough of their 762 3-point attempts per game, they are quite ordinary, especially with the lax defense this season.

Great pass and patience by Tatum to find Hauser on the fast break there.

Another example of us just not being engaged defensively. Definite hangover effect for this team this year.

Celtics still ought to win this game with Tatum coming back in, but it did not have to be this hard.

It is such a weak Raptors lineup

G: Davion Mitchell = average to below average bench PG
G: G Dick = borderline starter
F: Mogbo = ??
F: Boucher = below average backup PF
C: Poeltl = solid starter

They should be pummeling this group.

Our bigs are just getting killed on defense.

Finally a nice defensive stand.
