If all someone knew about the Celts was this thread, he would think we are struggling to make the playoffs.

Come on people, we are the third seed in the East, cheer up a bit.

Since when do the Heat shoot lights out? My goodness..

When Brad is playing small

That's part of it. IT has been scored on 4 times this quarter, and at least two of them have been just the guy shooting over top of IT.

But it's also our absolute failure at guarding the PnR, and Horford is a big contributor to this problem. He regularly overcommits to the ballhandler and leaves his man wide open for the pick and pop or roll to the basket. And if they set good picks, even our best defenders in Smart, Bradley, and Crowder can't catch up in time.

Marcus bullies his way to the hoop.

[jpotter33]

Smart can't buy a foul going to the basket.

[walker834]

When Crowder's shot goes in it's so much better.

Why play Rozier over JB?

[SCeltic34]

That was a good pass by Rozier.  Horford just wasn't looking for the ball.

[walker834]

Horford is not the quickest guy on rotations sometimes. That was really fast though that pass.

[liam]

Smart can't buy a foul going to the basket.

He probably could but I'm not sure about the price!

[Chief]

Rozier, you need to sit.

[walker834]

Smart playinig a lot sg until that play.  Fast on rotations and big.

[jpotter33]

Smart is a point guard who Brad plays as a two guard, and Rozier is a two guard who he plays as a point guard. I love it.

We are not improving. That's the issue.  What good is a morale victory every year?  More free agents will want to come here?  We build a winning culture? gimmie a Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ing break.

The Heat have good guards + Justise Winslow has recently returned. They won't make the playoffs but they are way ahead of teams like Philly and the Nets.

Crowder heating up!
