Rockets (37-25) at Celtics (38-25) Game #64 3/3/19

Tatum is so soft. He needs benched from the starting lineup for awhile to get his head back on straight.

Of course, that would require us to implement some sort of discipline on our guys, which clearly ole softy Brad is incapable of doing.

I think I'm pretty lonely out on this limb, but it wouldn't hurt my feelings at all if we deal Tatum for AD.  Just not crazy about his game this year.  Not improving.

I am on that limb with you.

As am I.  Tatum may actually have regressed this year in some aspects.

Yup. Right there with you guys.

Not playing at all like the guy we all loved last season

[Tr1boy]

Jaylen Brown has been amazing for many games now

best player on the team in the last 2 weeks

[blink]

I am not on the hate Kyrie bus, but when Brad brought him back in the air completely went out of our comeback.

[Jiri Welsch]

I hate Tatum sometimes. Grow a pair, dude

[Banner18now!]

Maybe if the Celtics decided to play from tip off they would have won this game. But no let’s wait until it’s a 22 point lead in the 4th quarter before starting to play with energy and urgency. Brad Stevens is being exposed. He clearly can’t get this team to play.

Fans crack me up.  First of all, only the narrow minded would not trade Tatum for Davis now, or even as he looked last year.  Second, NOW people want to trade him; because he doesn’t look like the second coming?  Perhaps now other teams will outbid the celts because Tatum doesn’t look like that guy (I know we couldn’t have traded for Davis anyway).

Right when Rozier missed 3 free throws in a row?

[Chief Macho]

Kyries is the worst.  Loser player. 

[gunrock210]

How does Kyrie keep ending up on Harden?

How does this happen??

Brown played him great and is still on the court.

Because Brad is an idiot and will not deviate from his switch everything defense, regardless of what the statistics and evidence actually shows... Nobody should be guarding Harden other than Smart or Brown, yet we consistently lazily switch bigs and Kyrie on him.  It's so frustrating.

They're going to keep screening and re-screening until they get their matchup. Every team does it except us

I'm quickly becoming done with him

I AM DONE

i defended him because he was great during rebuild but not so much now

[Fierce1]

There's still time for Brad to find the right combination.

Most likely it will be the Celts and the Pacers in the 1st round.

Celts will most likely advance.

You assuming Philly jumps to the 3 seed?

It's very obvious Philly gets #3.

Pacers don't have Oladipo.

Celts are fine staying at #4.

I think the Celts can get #4.

[CelticsElite]

All these shots from Harden are bricks next month.

gonna go ahead and guess you have not seen harden play in the past 2 seasons

He hasn't bricked shots in a long time

Yeah Brad is about massaging the egos. Not actually improving the team!

I am on that limb with you.

Yeah, he has become very entitled this year. Clearly not playing with the same energy or intensity.
