Celtics (1-2) at Pacers (1-3) Game #4 11/4/15

[PhoSita]

Brad has already played 12 players and we're 3 minutes into the 2nd quarter.  I don't like that at all.

None of the bigs have been comfortable tonight. Too many lineup changes / big man pairings. Not just tonight but through the season so far. Unsettling the players. Especially the bigs.

Yeah.  I think this roster is bringing out the worst in Stevens in that it encourages him to constantly tinker and experiment.  Makes sense on a macro, "trust the process" level, but I think it's preventing the players from developing any rhythm or consistency.

We need to have at least one 5 man lineup of guys who know their place on this team, in the present and the future.  We don't have that at all.

Very few of these guys knows their place in the rotation now, and most of them has an uncertain future with the team, also.

Any positives so far?

Good freaking grief, 9-3 on fouls already. Can we get some consistent refs? We've been penetrating just as much as them...

Turner is trying hard to get himself a larger role.

I like the way RJ is staying in front of Robinson. He really looks like a player that can become a good defender. Now let's see if he can knock some shots down.

[blink]

Miles Turner looks good.

Any positives so far?

Rozier looked competent and aggressive in a limited stint.

Jerebko is making stuff happen, as usual.  Lots of hustle and smart off-ball movement.  We need more of that.

Zeller had a nice outlet, though otherwise he's been awful. 

Lee had a nice 1-on-1 score against Myles Turner. 



Otherwise, not much really.  Isaiah Thomas looks hopeless on defense against starting caliber players.  Team as a whole is playing very disjointed, not executing offensive sets very well.   Nobody is hitting shots.

Very, very messy.

Yeah, I'm just about done with Turner.  Even in a game where we're missing Smart, he's been a negative.  I would much prefer to play Rozier a whole bunch.  The team might be better off that way, honestly.

[jpotter33]

Another thing that kind of signals to me that a lot of our struggles are just early season mistakes and lack of chemistry is the fact that quite a bit of our turnovers are unforced.

[Who]

Not impressed with Indiana at all. They are not a playoff team in my book.

Celtics giving a bad account of themselves and giving Indy an easy game.

[danglertx]

LOL, they haven't passed Hunter the ball on offense once yet.

[YoungOne87]

hard to watch right now, we are terrible right now against a weak team...
