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

[jpotter33]

We play double big causing Jrue to try and help off too much to help Horford, leading to an open three from Murray.

Then Murray gets crossmatched in transition against a big and hits the pull up three.

STOP THE STUPID DOUBLE BIG LINEUP WHEN IT'S UNCALLED FOR! Joe is doing us no favors at all with some of these awful rotation decisions, including both the insistence on the double big lineups, changing up the Jays' rotations leading to fourth quarter troubles, etc.

If we have to splurge for another bench wing/swing at this point to avoid our over-reliance on these lineups, I think we have to.

This team just sucks. I got no more excuses for them.

From the line up, to the poor shot selection, to the lack of defense. They just stink.

[Phantom255x]

2-12 from 3. Murray meanwhile 4-4... I mean... 

[celticinorlando]

Cavs going to clinch the 1 seed before the All Star game. Boston showing zero interest or energy in the regular season.

Gettin blown out again at home by a guy who shoots 21 percent from 3

[ozgod]

Dejounte really loves playing against us we give him all the space in the world to shoot

[SCeltic34]

I don't think we could have played worse than that and we're only down 6.  I'll take it.

[jpotter33]

Scal is right there - complete failure by PP to not get Tatum the ball there in the post with a guard on him. Jrue did the exact same thing on the next play.

I know it's not in his personality, but he's got to start demanding the ball in these situations. That's ridiculous that we're looking off our best player in those situations. The equal opportunity offense stuff has gone too far.

[celticinorlando]

35 points in the quarter for a Pels team that struggles to score. Defense is nowhere to be found.

[Phantom255x]

Embarrassing

[liam]

Lucky to get out of that quarter only down 6.

[celticinorlando]

Team has no interest in playing good basketball. Been this way for the last month. Just lazy.

[jpotter33]

Just joined. What happened?

Same as has been the case the last several weeks - we can't hit the broad side of a barn offensively, and we look disinterested and disorganized defensively.

[liam]

58% from 3 vs 21% from 3...
