So Walsh really caught a bug. Joe said Walsh wasn?t used in the second half of the last game because he felt ill. Get well soon JWalsh! Looking forward to another nice game from Hugo!

Ugh, first Jaylen, now Jordan.  I hope no one else gets it.  Need to stop the spread before the road trip starts.

The Celtics are 25th in the league in opponent 3 point shooting. That's after being top 6 basically every year for the last decade.

So they are getting a little unlucky defensively this year.

not a good quarter by anyone.  C's really need to tighten up that D and work for better shots.

Wow, that was an impressive burst in the open court by Hugo.

Unfortunately our offense looks terrible so far with DWhite running the show, at least from what I've been able to see since I had the chance to tune in.

Minott looked absolutely terrible in his minutes on both ends.  Despite his length he was a complete dud defensively.

Not sure why, but I saw this coming.
We were due for a letdown, probably took Indy lightly.

Awful 2 for 1 there. Instead of one good look, we got two poor looks. Hate our strategy of ALWAYS going for it even when it isn?t optimally situated for it.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

Or not defending the 3-point line.
