[Surferdad]

Why didn?t Tatum just drive on the smaller Shead instead of shooting over him?

Frustrating. It's lazy basketball, especially when he's not been shooting well lately and can get to the rim against virtually anyone.

But he's at least rebounding and facilitating well today. 5 rebounds and 3 assists already.

[Silas]

Defense tightened up after a slow start and White left the game.

Better end to the quarter. JT's doing a good job facilitating but 1-7 to start shooting (1-5 from 3).

[keevsnick]

Tatum now 1-5 from three, the one he made was a catch and shoot off a kickout, and another of his misses was a long two. So that's 6 jump shots. He needs to be more aggressive going downhill.

D white is broken.

[Silas]

D white is broken.

and then a 3!

[celticinorlando]

Hauser just isn't right

[Phantom255x]

D white is broken.

and then a 3!

HE IS NOT BROKEN! (I hope...)

[celticinorlando]

D white is broken.

and then a 3!

and then a turnover

[jpotter33]

We should've given White tonight off. He's clearly out of sorts and looks like he needs a break. He's been bad for awhile now.

[Phantom255x]

The problem with Hauser is that, it seems like his back constantly has issues (spasms), which could be a big thing come playoffs if we can't count on him.

Go bring back Lonnie Walker ASAP

[celticinorlando]

Love Sam but he just doesn't look right. They are going to have to find another wing

[jpotter33]

So, did Scal take a "bump" before the game or what? Dude hasn't stopped talking and seems very fidgety.

[celticinorlando]

Sigh. I miss the days when the Celtics actually played with a pulse on defense.
