Celtics (7-6) at Timberwolves (4-8) Game #14 11/21/16

This game is making me tired! The energy level for Boston is so low...

[PhoSita]

I think the Celts might be inherently flawed against teams with quality traditional size inside

[esel1000]

Zeller is literally so useless on the defensive end... may as well be 4 vs 5

Wiggins just butted him out of the lane...

Wolves are smart and are just taking it at him every time... he can't defend anything

every team this year has been doing this with all our bigs except against Horford.  we're not sneaking up on anyone this year and every team knows we're even weaker on the boards this year without Sully and Turner.

Yeah I give DA credit for a lot but not getting a replacement for Sully was a huge fail on his part... putting way too much faith into Amir/Zeller. Zeller was a bench warmer last year for God sakes we downgraded

Just getting out worked here.

[celticslove]

feels like we just fielded a summer league team tonight

[Denis998]

all hope is lost with trying to watch this game. Screw You league pass, never buying this crap ever again.

Is it broadband that everyone is having an issue with?

yep, the online version of LP. It refuses to load.

Aldridge > our bigs not named Horford... ugh

That's why we NEED Okafor if we can't get Cousins

[Vox_Populi]

Olynyk just let Towns save that ball. Zeller flubbed an uncontested offensive rebound. Unbelievable.

[liam]

Also the 24 to 4 free throws isn't doing us any favors...

[Kuberski33]

Put Evan Turner on this team and it might be pretty good.

[SCeltic34]

I'm tired of watching Zeller play.  There's no reason to give him minutes at this point.  He plays like he's 6'2'' and is softer than cotton candy.

[TrueFan]

Also the 22 to 4 free throws isn't doing us any favors...

Cant complain tho. They've been taking it to us. We've been bombing threes and missing.

getting Horford was fantastic but Danny really needed to get another big man that was better than Zeller on the boards and defense.  Gerald Green wasn't the guy to take a flyer on.

optimistic thought: maybe next year we get Zizic and Yabu to come over to replace Zeller and KO and they provide us with better rebounding, scoring and D.  hard to see them providing less.  getting a decent FA big man would help too.

Umm, what? We're needing interior defense and rebounding, and your solution to that is OKAFOR?!
