Pelicans (8-31) at Celtics (27-11) Game #39 1/12/25

The logic behind the JT and JB rotations is one guy can step up while the other sits. Well it feels like when Tatum sits, Jaylen can't do much to help the team and it hurts us. Getting saved a little by PP here but it's not ideal

And that's with JB usually playing with at least two starters and JT getting a ton of full bench lineups. I just don't get the switch up by Joe. It makes no sense to me and seems like a disservice to both players.

[jpotter33]

More of that, JT. They've literally had Murray on you most of the night. Stop being content with poor pull up threes and force the issue against the smaller defender.

Might want to guard Murphy at some point.

[tenn_smoothie]

Once again, struggling at home against a bad team, without its best player, no less.
Gotta fight through and at least get this win.

[celticinorlando]

What a terrible bail out call.

[jpotter33]

That's one it would've been nice to have a challenge on, as all of the White contact was after the shot was released. No idea why Joe challenged that other play earlier this quarter.

[celticinorlando]

Getting killed by 2 guys that are horrid from 3.

4th quarter defense continues to be bad.

[SCeltic34]

The Pels are shooting 50% from 3.  Way above average.

[Phantom255x]

Nice to see Murphy decide to become a superstar against us tonight 

[Phantom255x]

I said this in the panic thread but yeah, another 4th where we literally can't get stops. Defense looks so bad, leaving guys open. Trading baskets is not ideal

[jpotter33]

Great individual defense by JT on Murray.

[celticinorlando]

Are you kidding me. My God this team is just so unfocused

[Goldstar88]

Wow, D-White.

[SCeltic34]

Costly turnover DWhite.

[jpotter33]

White.... Just embarrassing. Head is not in the game.
