Celtics (19-11) at TrailBlazers (12-19) Game #31 12/28/25

[Celtics2021]

White straight up lost us this game tonight. Awful game and especially decision-making from him.

I expect a big game from him vs Utah. This might have been his worst game as a Celtic?

I missed most of the game but White's stats don't indicate his worst game as a Celtic...12pts,5rebs,5assists,5steals,1 block, granted he missed a lot of 3s but the rest of his game on paper looks decent.

There was some simply awful decision-making on offense down the stretch by White.  He was responsible for three turnovers in the final two minutes and also took a rushed early shot clock 3 down by 1.

Yeh White can definitely look ugly and spacy sometimes.  Very weird to see him like that, but when he?s bad he?s BAD!

He took some straight up dumb shots in the 1st half too

JB with 6 turnovers didn?t help..

Sure, but at least one of those was on White for bent a double-team to Jaylen at mid-court, and another was the Scott Foster special charging flagrant.

JB wouldn't be the 1st -/ or 5th -- guy I blamed tonight.

Sorry got carried away with my statement. Agree it?s not his worst game stats wise, but his turnovers in the fourth quarter were really uncharacteristic of him. Just a weird game for DW.

You could tell we were going to lose at the beginning. They were hot and we could not put them away. Clingan looked like Wilt out there.  A lot of our guys got in early foul trouble and could not defend like normal.   The great effort was not consistent with all our guys playing. 

Classic Trap game.

Clingan should look like Wilt against the C's, Queta and Garza ain't stopping him and at one point, Hugo was trying to box him out.  No, this game was lost with the continuation of chucking threes when they're not falling, 13/44 for 29.5% (and the 20 TO's).  This is where I don't like Joe as a coach, he has to see that and pivot but it's not in his mindset.  Someone will also have to explain to me the rotation.  How does Walsh get only ten minutes?  Look, I think Hugo is going to be great, and I've been bashing Walsh for years (along with Baylor), but recently, Walsh has been proving me wrong.  This is the classic game that causes coaches to lose their jobs!  BTW, we get to see Kyle Filipowski in the next game.  Maybe we could have Baylor guard him.

Walsh got 10 minutes because he picked up 3 fouls in the first 4.5 minutes of the game and the team was outscored by 8 points in his 5 minutes early in the second half.
