Like an actual PG, something we havent had since Jameer Nelson and he was a scoring PG but **** we havent had a PG who can pass at that level since

Nah.

We have two 6’10 forwards that have it all figured out obviously.

Most ridiculous narrative on this board

If the Celtics realized they needed more ball handlers at the guard position because Marcus Smart wasnt cutting it and got Jrue & Derrick White then there's no excuse

Not over yet. Somehow.

Jett, AB and TDS have actually been pretty good though. 30 points on 18 shots between them.

Gotta be the flu. Players air-balling point blank shots…

He hasn’t created a single good look for himself. He plays for the foul too often and when he doesn’t get it he has no actual shot to fall back on.

Which isn’t his game. He doesn’t normally foul hunt so I can guess that his legs are really not where they need to be right now.

I think that’s his game. His high FTr is his X factor and scoring edge.

What’s hurting him is his middy and 3 isn’t falling which usually helps open some space for him.

Paolo should've continued to pass instead of shoot so much.

I think it is, and we got players playing through it because we would have to forefeit if not with all the injuries we got

You can’t skip steps dude. We will bring in a ball handler when we are ready to compete in 2028

Not one player on our team is having a great season. It's weighing on them.

We're not a good shooting team on paper, but right now it's more than that. This group has lost its spirit that had kept them alive all season. That extra edge that had overcome everything before just isn't there, and it has been replaced by a negative one. I don't know if they need some kind of cliché thing like a players meeting, or just need time off from allstar weekend, or what. Getting talent back on the floor is a big factor obviously, but vibes were supposedly good today with Franz coming back and we see where that has led us tonight. Coach has done an amazing job keeping things together thus far, but now it's on them to step up and get back on track. As extremely frustrating and disappointing as things are right now, I still believe in this group. Not Wendell Carter Jr, of course, because he's not an NBA level player. But aside from him, I believe in this group.

5th blowout loss in a row would be nothing to sneeze at

Blazers are how. They lost one like this in Dallas this year, you all can do it, I believe in you!
