Celtics (15-2) at Mavericks (3-14) Game #18 11/20/17

[SCeltic34]

Before the game, Brad said he wasn't concerned with the 17% FG% from the bench unit over the past 3 games.

Are you concerned now Brad?

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

Stevens is as culpable as his players tonight.

his rotations got this snowball started. we have yet to recover.

it is like everybody is infected with the stupid tonight

[PAOBoston]

It was going to catch up to them at some point.

It happens. Bad game. They can hit the refresh button now and re-focus.

[saltlover]

Are we really playing a lineup with three backup PGs?

Larkin / Rozier / Smart?

It’s worked other nights.

[hpantazo]

Maybe after Chauncey's comments, the Celtics wanted to create some real adversity

i am

[ozgod]

Now we’re unravelling...bring Kyrie back in and give him the ball

When Brad's plan gets shut down, his ability to adjust on the fly is close to nonexistent.

Are you talking about Brad Stevens?

No, Brad Pitt.

you are aware this team has five comebacks of fifteen+ in this win streak alone? right?

How many are double digit 4th quarter comebacks tho?

If Smart and Morris could shoot better than 3-18 The Celtics would be winning this game right now. I still think The Celtics will win this but some shots need to be made.

I would argue the real issue is turnovers, which are 14-6 as I type.  Mavs and Celtics are shooting at about the same rate — Mavs have just taken about 15 more shots.

I agree. That's a lot of turnovers.

Not his best night. Of course, having a bench player capable of NBA-level offense would help his coaching tremendously.

So the coach can do no wrong?

Brad is an awful game coach. That's a fact. His saving grace is that he can usually prepare the team well before the game starts.

Brad is having a really bad one tonight. Embarrassing

[slamtheking]

awful game after the beginning of the 1st quarter.

bad shooting, bad lineups.  bad turnovers.  just a really bad game for the C's

[jambr380]

The play out of the TO is a freakin' Smart 3 - seriously?!

That's funny.
