Celtics (1-1) at Hornets (2-0) Game #3 10/29/16

[jpotter33]

We are just practicing our 3's because Charlotte is shooting so much.  Need to get Horfrod involved the second half and game over.

I'm guessing this is going to be a constant critique of Brad this year, similar to his rotations in his first two years. I know it's only three games in, but why we are not involving him more in the offense and simply just settling for hitting threes is beyond me.

That quarter couldn't end fast enough. 

Charlotte is only shooting 30% but we're only up 3.

Two words: The refs.

[Rick Robeys Return]

im glad Mickey made an appearance at the end of that half. Would like to see him get a run with the second unit in the 2nd half...

[Kuberski33]

This crappy bench play reminds me of what we had right before they made the Perkins trade.  Starters would open up a lead and the bench would give it right back.

There's absolutely no reason that Amir Johnson should have more shot attempts than Horford, who is 2-2 at the moment. This is an absolute failure by Brad to integrate a player who is probably the best overall player on our roster.

zeller and jerebko have been mediocre

[jpotter33]

You can't put it all on Brad; Horford needs to actually take the shots. You can lead a horse to water...

Jae Crowder has become one hell of a player.

That is true. He's been very tentative overall. Hopefully some of that is him adjusting to the new system and a bigger role.

If he hasn't gotten more aggressive in a week or two I think Brad will need to switch things up and start running more sets for him. In the meantime, I think he (and everyone else, for that matter) needs to get comfortable

Isaiah needs to shoot 10000 free throws on his day off

[trickybilly]

Isaiah's FT shooting seems to be a strange blip

Even on his shot fakes, he's not even looking to drive or shoot the ball. He fakes then waits for the defender to get to him. He's overly passive. Brad needs to take him to the side and let him know we need more from him.

Does Clifford teach them to go for the nose?
