Celtics (0-2) at Bulls (2-0) PO Game #3 4/21/17

[Eja117]

All the Celts hanging out at the tree point line. Crowder jacks it up and Smart is the only one under the basket for the rebound? Seriously? Is that what passes for playoff basketball on this team now? Lazy. Soft.

[PAOBoston]

Need to attack the basket. Too many jump shots.

Making Lopez look like he is a functional player. My God...just no hustle or effort

What happened to our offense?  9 points in 10 minutes.  We've missed so many good looks.

The only good looks we're creating are three pointers or baseline jumpers, and most of them aren't going in after most of them went in earlier.

You can't premise your entire offense on three point jumpers unless your team has multiple snipers.

Yeah, but we're getting open short jumpers that we are missing. Those are easy shots that someone should be making.

They're defending Isaiah really well, and forcing the rest of the team to beat them. It worked well for us the first couple of minutes, but now we're missing jumpers again.

We need to find a way to involve Marcus in the offense when they're not even paying attention to him. Maybe setting screens, I don't know, something!

Let's go Celtics. We really need this one.

They need to just play IT off the ball and have Smart in the PnR with Horford, especially with him hitting his shot tonight. I don't understand why we're not doing more of the PnR's with Lopez's man to either force a switch/mismatch or take advantage of them rotating.

[Eja117]

I love Marcus!

He's the only man on the court for the Celts this series. 

[droopdog7]

Really don't think they're playing much worse than the first Q.  Just laying bricks right now... but they're mostly good shots.

Exept for the sloppy turnovers to start the quarter, you're right.  Basically have to make shots when they're open.

[Ogaju]

Maybe take the balll to the hoop and get some fouls??/?

Zebras not dealing today.

[celticinorlando]

Would like to thank Crowder for single handedly allowing the Bulls to come back with all of his missed 3s

[Eja117]

I swear if I see Crowder jack up another three early in the shot clock without a single basketball move I'm finding him on social media and letting him know what I think about it.

[PAOBoston]

It's gonna suck when they lose this game. Blowing a massive lead like this.

Jumpshots always have variance though.  If you want consistent offensive production you need to be able to create inside looks.  Celts have no way of doing that right now.

[jpotter33]

Good Lord, Brad, are you incapable of creating any offense outside of the three point shot?? Crowder just bricks two wide open threes, and you come out after a timeout with a three for him.

Ridiculous. Brad getting exposed this series.

[PhoSita]

Celts are toast.

Crowder seems unwilling to do anything but take jumpers.  Doesn't drive.

[Celtic Fan Forever]

Pathetic close to the half
