The "Run down chunk up a shot offense" might need a couple of tweaks...

[CelticSooner]

Body language says they are just ready to go home.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

Nobody even moved when Kyrie had the ball. Literally standing around watching.

THAT IS ALL ON COACHING TO FIX IT!!!

Jaylen needs to stop thinking he's going to win 5 championships before he's 28 and focus on making 5 shots so he has at least 10 points. It feels like this team is getting so far ahead of themselves in terms of how good they think they are - right now they're not very good and need to focus on the fundamentals.

What a lazy team. Just playing like it is late March and they are 20 games out of the playoffs. They just don't give a crap

[gouki88]

I love the consistency with which Al takes stupid fade-aways and other jumpshots when a guard switches onto him. Just clueless

[SCeltic34]

It's unbelievable how we manage to have a major offensive drought every single game.  We have 13 points in the quarter before these Tatum free throws.  Pathetic.

[Kuberski33]

No criticism whatsoever from the announcers too.  Love that they sugar coat this crappy play.

[jpotter33]

This feels like a blowout already. C's are so much slower on defense compared to them.

I think their frustration from the offensive end is affecting their defense.

Definitely. It should be the other way around, too - their defense fueling their offense. That's what has made us good the last several years.

Just no urgency or confidence whatsoever on this team right now, and that's on everyone - both the players and Brad.

More like they are ready for the offseason. This team has played no life at all this season.

[PAOBoston]

This team looks destined to be a 5th or 6th seed where everyone asks themselves why is that team so bad..

They remind me of... the Wizards. Talented and should be better than they are but aren’t. Stephens has done an awful job so far this year.

Ouch. Not incorrect, but still painful

[CF033]

I think we can reasonably start wondering whether this Celts team has the right chemistry. They are performing far far less than the sum of their parts. Something isn't working and they're not improving. This team should be an offensive juggernaut yet scoring buckets is like pulling teeth.

[Kuberski33]

We ought to trade for Carmelo.  He'd be perfect on this team.

It hurts that Brad isn't making an adjustment either.
