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

The problem is not Crowder or anybody



The problem is that Smart or anybody really is not what they need. A Scorer of the bench. This is not to say that Smart sucks.....it's to say that he is not capable of something we need.


Crowder had a +11 , but probably played a bit too much or shot the ball with too much pressure...

If Smart was somewhat of a versatile offensive player or Jaylen was ready, we would probably be fine.

We dont have that at all. Nobody can take it to the basket. Nobody besides IT.

[CelticSooner]

You can't win consistently in the playoffs with this kind of offense. It kills you even more when you miss wide open shots.

[Celtics4ever]

Crowder plays a position that is traditionally a scoring position, therefore he bears the burden a  poor shooting team

Sometimes one gets the sense that he thinks he is a scorer which he is not.   We got a lot of guys who got away from their strengths this year...

[BitterJim]

Playing 10 guys in the first half is ridiculous. College stuff.

No one is showing up tonight. If Brad hadn't tried some of those guys you would be p---ed that he stuck with guys that clearly weren't getting it done

Edit: meant no one off the bench is showing up

[Ogaju]

everybody on this team sucks at driving to the basket except IT

the players on this team are expecting their first big payday therefore they are not willing to lay it all out there. Business is business.

[celtics2030]

Crowder 3 for 8, 2 for 5 threes, , 2 for 2   

lol marcus 1-4

somehow somehow , crowder getting roasted.....i don't get it sometimes.......crowder had a terrible quarter. but the entire team did. I just understand things sometimes.

Crowder getting roasted

At least Smart is driving to the rim. Crowder? He plays soft.

But he cant finish so it means nothing.

Not to say that hes killing us, but if he could drive and score we would be such a better team. I dont want Smart gone, i just wish we had a lou williams.

Jaylen can drive and kick but not if he doesn't play...

Jaylen has been pretty terrible this series.  Yeah, he's made some shots but it's clear to me when I watch that he's not ready.  And he's not a great driver at this point and not a great decision maker either.  Last thing we want to do is put the ball in browns hands.

He thinks he's way better than he is. Big reason I jumped off the Crowder train.

Agreed on all points.

He has 10 points and he is a +11

you guys are just killing anybody you can kill once he misses a couple of open shots

[Phantom255x]

This team just CAN'T hold leads. That's a problem.

If they lose this despite having a 20 point lead.. then it might be as worse as the Pacers loss last night.

[celticinorlando]

Celtics struggle getting through picks. very slow to react

[Phantom255x]

If the Celtics want to really prove something here, then they better come out of this second half on fire and acting like they want to win the series.

Otherwise, whatever criticisms they get, they absolutely deserve.

This team is just soft.

Crowder getting roasted

The issue isn't that Crowder is maaaayyybbbbee having a slllighhhhttly better game statistically. The issue is effort, heart, and pride. Whether he performs or not Smart always brings it every single time. Crowder isn't bringing any of that despite him barking and acting like that's important. He's a soft, lazy, phony. Give me Gordon Hayward.
