Celtics (5-1) at Rockets (6-1) Game #7 11/2/26

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

this team is going to really struggle if Tatum can't get offensive support.  other than PG, the rest have been worse than inconsistent at best and just down right awful at worst

bingo

JT still in the damm game

W T F JOE?

The Rockets overall have a deeper, more talented roster.

Meh. We have PG and an average shooting night this is probably a win. Wasn?t really impressed with their D, as we got good shots just couldn?t knock them down. Their offense is definitely improved.

I wasn't expecting a win, but at some point conversations need to be had about White and Pritchard. White is technically supposed to be our 3rd option and he's been far from it

Mike Conley should've played. Mitchell and Cenac would've also been good in this one... But Joe just went through the motions.

completely winnable even without pg

IF dw, pp and sh showed up

not sure who was wearing their jerseys tonight

buncha plug losers

[Silas]

JT, Q, and Garza all showed up....no one else.  Average shooting game and we win.

[ozgod]

Pritchard -17, Robinson -16, Gonzalez -16

Our only pluses were Tatum +1 and Queta +7

Hauser, Pritchard, and White a combined 4-25 overall and 1-15 from 3

On to the next. We could have made a game out of this if not for the extremely poor shooting night by our main guys. PP and DW in particular need to be better. I expect a bounce back performance from PP next game.

yup

[Silas]

shooting 3s tonight....JT 1/7; White 1/5; Sam 0/5; and PP 0/5....pitiful shooting tonight.

Feel like the Celtics need to rest PG13 for this one.  Thought they would have held him out vs Orlando so that he could play against Houston. Will be interesting to see what Joe does.

He should either sit out or be limited to 20 some odd minutes...

Paul George is out tonight for rest. Joe messed this up. PG13 should have rested against the weaker opponent in Orlando and played today against Houston. That was not smart.

Pritchard and/or White are going to need to have a big game tonight for the Cs to have a chance.

And Pritchard and White both sucked. They should have just rested all the starters.

Payton "Jalen Brunson 2.0" Pritchard sure is living up to his billing, lol. 

Robinson looks slow and out of shape.  Our big rotation was supposed to be a strength.  It's not, because this guy can't play. 

Those are the biggest problems with this team so far this year.  Hugo's apparent lack of development over the offseason is a disappointment as well but at least we have other rotation-level wings to absorb that blow.  But we need Pritchard and Robinson to help us beat good teams and they aren't.

Top 2 for both teams are comparable. Tatum is better than Sengun, but KD is better than PG13. After that the Rockets smoke the Celtics in talent and depth. It isn?t even close. The Rockets are the best team in the NBA right now.

Him and/or Baylor. It?s asinine either way. This is what happens when GMs fall in love with their draft picks.
