Brown being abused by whoever he's guarding.

Jalen having one of those nights where he drifts defensively and isn?t fully focused

I'll take being down 11 after that terrible performance.  We should be down by 15+

[jpotter33]

Funny - when we picked up the defensive energy and started pushing the ball, we actually cut into the lead.

Just too much lackadaisical, entitled basketball by the C's this year. Still have yet to realize that they're being hunted every single night and can't just come out and go through the motions.

[Vermont Green]

Yeah, to think you would be happy to be down 11 at halftime to this team. Not what I would have expected.

That's pretty much the story of his entire season.

[Silas]

Interesting that White is +1 while everyone else is -

Klay Thompson is a Celtic-killer, can't forget him after 2022

Sigh. Yup, he definitely is a Celtic-killer. 26 points already in the first half.

Get him suited up. We need some energy on the court tonight.

[jpotter33]

We've got to really hone in on the Tatum high PnR and let him find others when they collapse on him. The last run came when we let him run the offense and initiate the plays, as he draws so much attention it creates spacing for everyone else. Nobody else has that kind of playmaking ability, unfortunately.

Joe probably won't play him

I'm fine with Craig. Vet defensive specialist, but he's actually been around 40% from three the last three years, albeit on only 3-4 attempts a game.

he would have probably helped tonight.  we have been energyless on def.   

[Silas]

Thompson will cool off and the Celtics will heat up...
