Celtics (0-2) at Pistons (1-1) Game #3 10/26/25

[Who]

It feels like Jaylen Brown is our biggest player in the paint whenever Queta isn't on the floor.

Nobody else has any physical / athletic presence.

[celticinorlando]

Luka Garza is a waste of space. Does nothing out there whatsoever.

Detroit has basically dominated for 1.5 quarters and it's enough. Just like New York in the 2nd quarter and Philly in the 4th, these teams just need to dominate for a short stretch and we have zero resistance. Even our best effort is not really resulting in blowout leads

[Who]

Oh great !! - Chris Boucher at center.

This worked so well for Toronto when they tried this. Year after year. Failure after failure. Why are we repeating an experiment that has been tried over and over and over again for 5-6 years and consistently failed?

[Who]

Feels like JB might lose his head here. That he will believe him doing hero-ball is the only thing that will give Boston a chance.

Today and maybe beyond today.

In Boucher's defense, he's the least of our concerns...

Man, we are so bad right now. Hard quarter to watch, especially since it took like an hour to play. Put us out of our misery already

I think he's been appropriately patient and selective to start the season, for the most part.  He's trying to set guys up and then looking for his own when they throw bricks. 

As much discourse as there is about whether he's a "real #1", I think this team is being let down more by the other guys trying to step up as the 2/3.  Pritchard, White, and Simons have not been a very good guard rotation to start the season.  I expect the issues regarding the big man rotation and depth, those don't surprise me, but I thought our guard play and ability to shoot the basketball would even some things out.  Not the case.

Goodness...79 more games of this slop and garbage roster.

The concern is how Joe is using him.

Not just playing him at the center position ... but why wasn't he on the court earlier? The team was getting bullied in the paint because of their lack of size. Boucher is the only guy with true height / length / athleticism at the big forward position. He should have been put out there to help Queta and particularlyto help Garza.

Boucher only had 6 minutes up until that point. Joe has got to use him better. He can help.

We are one injury for Brown/White away from being very, very bad.

[Who]

It is only an 11pt game. Feels like 20.

2-3 good minutes and they could tie this up.

20-25 win territory

[celticinorlando]

A GOOD lottery pick seems very likely. This team is just not good. Brad did a great job with the tank.

[perks-a-beast]

This is one of my least favorite Celtics teams in quite some time. I think I even liked the 2013-14 team more. They were scrappier and had more intriguing young players.
