I never want to see Tillman over Queta again

[NYCelticsfan136]

All that just to lose.

[ConstableGeneva]

Celtics were +10 in the 10 minutes JB sat. 1/11 from 3 is godawful work. 25 pts on 30 shots, Kobe-esque.

So far this may be the worst Jaylen has ever played. Awful start to the season. Credit where credit is due for the ECF and Finals but it's a new year and so far, that aint it.

[Fierce1]

No more 30 shots for JB unless he’s hot. White should’ve been having the ball more throughout this game. It was a crime he was 3-4 from the field through 3 quarters. Tatum really needs to stop forcing the 3. His midrange and drives look good so far this year, let all that set up a good three point shot.

I think JT is trying to master that 3pt shot.

Hopefully it pays off in May and June.

The one thing I hope Joe will take from this game is play Quetta some more
He has the skills that we lack = defensive presence inside, great rebounder and has some rim running skill. We don't have such a player

Queta was great. He just came in, in the 4th Qtr? Ice-Cold, and still made an Impact.

[phincsfan]

This team doesn't have to be dominant in the regular season. They can win on the road. I can care less if they have the best record at the end of the regular season or the 4th best record at the end of the regular season.

Tillman will be fine. It's a long season.

[Fierce1]

It's another close game that the Celtics can learn from.

If Cs won this one then the tendency would be to get complacent.

This is a good wake up call for the Cs.

A good reminder that there's still room for improvement.

And it showed us all that Queta should be playing instead of Kornet.

[phincsfan]

You think Carlisle is happy

[MaxwellSmart]

Jaylen Brown.....MAKE your G*D*MMMM free throws!!!

[playa-hater]

Out of all the possible choices we went with the worst one.. Horrible put of bounds play.

To be fair, it’s a lot easier for a team to defend when they know the other team has to shoot a 3

Well, that part is definitely true.But brown was having one of his worst games in a long while , which included a wide open airball three in OT

[phincsfan]

Indy had every long offensive rebound off a miss it seemed. Sometimes it bounces that way

Queta is all Center. Tillman is more of a Power Forward.
Have they played together, this Season?

[Fierce1]

Let's not forget that Tillman is just getting 2m per year.

There will be times where Tillman will be useful.

Yeah, he's the current whipping boy.....

But I must say it's odd how unathletic he's looked. This is a guy that held his own against AD in the playoffs a few years ago, and I don't remember hearing about any major injuries since.

He's still pretty switchable and can kind of shoot now. That's not bad for a deep bench guy.

Hopefully it pays off in May and June.

He's just in love with it. Aside from a few months here and there where he's on fire he's always settled for it too often.

If he's pacing himself for an 82 game season that's fine, but I don't love this shot diet and hope we don't see the same in the playoffs.

Yeah, the playoffs will be the real barometer.

Hopefully in the regular season he'll be around 38% or 39% from 3.

[phincsfan]

I think he's still adjusting to his role.
