This season has been brutal.
This team has serious chemistry problems, playing styles that clash and players that do not like playing together, plus a weak coach.
again
HOW MANY GAMES HAVE WE NOT PLAYED 48?
HOW MANY HAVE WE COME OUT FLAT 3rd quarter?
HOW MANY HAVE WE REFUSED TO ADJUST?
it is never ending
100% on coaching. you DO NOT keep making those mistakes. that is stuff the coaches have to fix.
It's hard to adjust when the pieces you have are basically identical.
Kyrie's the only one who can attack the basket and score.
The rest are 3-point shooters.
Celts also don't have a low post threat like Vucevic or LaMarcus Aldridge.
Coaching is not the problem.
The problem is Ainge assembled a team that doesn't have the right mix.
Basically the ingredients are all the same.
Only Kyrie is the exception.
Horford and Smart and Brown and Hayward and Tatum can all score on the box but we don't run it.
Horford used to score in the box.
But since last season, his age is starting to show.
Smart is not reliable in the box.
He tends to take a lot of wild shots when he's posting up.
Hayward is not 100%.
Brown and Tatum tried to attack in this game.
But we all saw it, the Clipper bigs shut them down.
What the Celts need is a guy like Vucevic or LaMarcus Aldridge.
When the Celts need a bucket because the 3s are not falling, get the ball inside for an easy two.
That's what the Celts lack.
The solution is when the Celts trade for AD.
But that's for next season.
This season the Celts are stuck with this unit.
All we can do is hope for the best.
