Six Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ing points now!

The Celtics can do it. Lots of time left.

Look at that fellas - we start hitting shots and we're right back in it. That's just what happens when you're a jump shooting team.

It even happens to the Warriors, albeit in much smaller quantities and less often.

1-15 from 3.  If we're 5-15, which is still below average for what we'd shoot on average for the year, this is a 2 point game.   Hopefully the averages even out in the second half.
It seems they are resorting to shooting threes because they have no one outside IT who can consistently take it to the basket. Once a defense knows you aren't driving, it's a huge disadvantage.

I mean, maybe they are.  But they average 31 threes a game on the season, so taking 15 in a half is nothing unusual.  Normally they score 1.06 points per possession when they take a 3, so that's a pretty effective shot.  First half today, not so much.  Second half has gone better.  I'm inclined to attribute it to randomness.

OMG sit Olynyk on the bench!

How about TRADE him
I don't know why a team would want that. A lot of these players that we would trade outside of Avery Bradley have little value outside of inside this Celtics system
fixed it for you ;)

Someone needs to slap him across the face and tell him to get angry.

We're doing this with IT on the bench too.  He'll have lots of gas left for the 4th.
