Well, maybe the Suns can clinch the third worst record tonight, then it wouldn't be a total loss.

This kind of game highlights the issues this roster has since it's inception, and it will be the very reason why we won't make it far in the playoffs. There are no shooters. NBA today is all about shooting and we have no one that can knock down open looks consistently.

Team's perimeter defense is really poor over the past few games.  Not staying in front of drives, giving up lots of open threes off of simple action.

Need to fix this if they're going anywhere in the playoffs.

We are switching without a fight.  We can't keep putting mismatches without pressuring them at all into turnovers.  It is almost like we are saving any real defensive plan we have for the playoffs.

Celtics were absolute garbage guarding the 3 point line tonight. Pretty easy game for Charlotte when they are knocking them down without a hand in their face. Strength of this team is supposed to be the perimeter defense and it was garbage. Is the Bruins stink still lingering in the building? Maybe air the building out for the next two day?

Celtics can't buy a shot so naturally keep jacking 3's

I get the feeling we will make a game of it yet.

Yeah, I don't understand all of the switches. We've really given the opponents all kinds of scoring opportunities by just blatantly swtiching everything. That killed us in Atlanta, too.

Yep. Better that we watch this tape in a blowout than vice versa.

Another wide open 3 for Charlotte.

No coincidence that when we get some stops and push the ball we get a 7-0 run.
