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

Tatum needs to just take this over in the 2nd half. Enough dilly dallying, pounce these bums

[Phantom255x]

KP on a mission tonight

JB still plays with force, but am I the only one who thinks he's all but lost his quickness?  Man looks like he's playing in quicksand at both ends.  Not sure if he's banged up a bit or just muscle-bound.  He still has lift, so there's that at least.

I wish I had that issue. Muscle-bound

Is it effort, energy conservation or what?

Something is just off all year

White has to pass that up there. Brown had the smaller guy posted up, and then his defender fell and he was all alone.

There's too much offensive freedom amongst the non-stars. The Jays regularly get looked off offensively when they have mismatches, which I think is a problem.

[Phantom255x]

There we go! Nice play out of bounds to White

[jpotter33]

Another excellent breakdown of the defense by Tatum leading to the missed wide open three by White and potential assist missed for Tatum.

White has to get his groove back.

[SCeltic34]

Our defense is awful.  No resistance.

[celticinorlando]

Hard to win with a pace so slow like this. Also when 3 main players are a no show..

[Phantom255x]

Bad defense. And also, still bricking wide open shots

[celticinorlando]

Defense will be the downfall of this team

[Atzar]

Feels like every quality offensive possession for Toronto starts with Brown, White, or Holiday sagging too far off-ball and failing to get back in front when their man receives a pass. 

This has been a thing for a while now.  Surely they have tape of this, right?  Stop overhelping.

D white dribbing for 5 seconds at the top of the key just to make a pass to a covered Tatum out past the 3 point line. Our offense wastes so much time doing nothing. Move the ball, penetrate, move!
