Work smarter not harder. We always do this we act like it’s an emergency to get that basket to get us the lead.

Towns has such awful court vision. Boston is stupidly doubling him for no reason and there’s OG wide open and he doesn’t see him despite being 7ft tall.

They letting the bigs be physical. KAT has got to toughen up or Horford will cancel him out this series.

Thibs literally coaches against his roster's strength.

Why is he still allowing KAT to create from the 3 point line, when it's clear when he's below the free throw line the Celtics are being forced to double team him, and all he has to do is find the open teammate.

He’s thinking too much. Make your move or pass the ball.

No more feed kat??


I'd still feed the man. You gotta live with those. Thibs gotta pick up a fine after the game. Do some Phil Jackson shyt.

Or I would have just had him pop the jumper on Horford too.

The team has to have better awareness... Once KAT passed out of the double team, the ball should have moved to the other side of the Court to find a shot... why did they pass it back to him to post up even further from the basket?

KAT found Bridges in the middle, he had a lane ... but he passed it back and KAT had 4 seconds

The shot wasn't great but he often gets bottled up ... big play obviously

He is better off just chucking instead of the basket drives

If score keeping close in the final five minutes we may still have a chance.

Kat is obviously having a bad game, its not going to change. Stop giving him the ball, let Brunson take the shots

Towns with the tunnel vision.

Also, if they don’t win, our FT shooting is the main reason. Just abysmal.

Because we gave KAT the ball with 4 seconds on the clock. You don't want him to make too many decision there. He's already had a shot clock violation. Let him go to the bucket. Hust stay on you feet and inbounds FFS!!!!
