Boston Celtics (28-11) at Toronto Raptors (9-31) Game #40 1/15/25

I'm not saying I want a 30-point blowout win every game, but it's not exactly encouraging that we aren't able to pull away against terrible teams. Yes we have some games like the New Years eve blowout vs. Toronto, but for the most part they've been tight with frustrating starts too

PP goes out and we go down!

Back to hemorrhaging points when Tatum sits - which is a major problem considering that Tatum is playing with a full bench lineup for a large portion of his minutes when only PP has been consistently contributing off the bench.

That defense was just awful and a big miscommunication by Brown and Horford. Feels like we've done that a ton this year and are not very connected defensively.

Celtics just getting worked. Again, this team just doesn't play hard in any avenue of the game.

PP handling the ball is best...

[celticinorlando]

That is a charge in every level of basketball.

Go from 7 up to 5 down in an instant

PP is a plus 10 in his 12 minutes.

[celticinorlando]

This team is really frustrating.

[Surferdad]

Just falling apart. 

[liam]

Play the bench more Joe! The starters aren't interested...

[celticinorlando]

Wow. Total embarrassment. I am now in the camp that this team won't even get to the ECFs this year. Absolutely cooked.

[liam]

The Celtics are so much better when they play fast.

The Celtics are so much better when they play fast.

Yep. But they have no interest in even playing at this point.

[SCeltic34]

Tuned in in time to see the Raptors go on a 12-0 run.
