Why do we suck so hard during the 3rd quarter? If we keep it to 5-10 going into 4 , I think we can make a comeback.

Why are we still struggling with a zone? Just have someone get to the nail and make a play from there, jeez

our offence looks like mud, people have disappeared entirely.

who knew a zone could stop an NBA player. After Toronto we should be used to one.

we need to wake up and start hitting 3's

So we’ve scored one point in 3 minutes ? Might be time to break the seal in Kanter

has kemba taken a inbound pass and just drove straight to the hoop yet or is he content walking it up the court and pawning the ball off at 10 seconds to someoje with a low % shot?

This is gonna be a blowout if something doesn't change drastically. Celtics playing as if they are entitled or something. I hope today serves as a wake up call, or we will get bounced quick. This is not Toronto offense, they attack anything we give them every time down the floor

If we lose tonight it's 100% on Smart and Kemba.

Smart's 3 dumb offensive possessions at the end of the first killed our momentum and we've never recovered from them.

The problem is we don’t really have an offensive plan if Tatum’s out. They just pass it around and everyone is outside the 3pt line, and no one is cutting inside.

Same. I have been tired of small defensively poor PGs since Celtics vs. the Hawks series some years back.

You look like a high school team against the zone.

What are the Celtics paying you for?


To be fair ... these are NBA players ... they should know how to adjust to a zone defense by 10th grade ..

Kemba is unplayable. He can’t play on either end and looks lost. Bring in Wannamaker unfortunately or go big with Romeo. Options are limited at this point

Starting to think Kemba's knee is an issue again. He is better than this.

Kanter gives everything back and them some. What we need is a shooter off the bench. BADLY

The flow of the game feels like the Heat are in complete control.

With Bam being a high post playmaker we can't do anything to stop or even slow down their sets.

And on the other end we can't do a damn thing against a zone defense.

Getting Miami in penalty early will help. Keep looking for mismatches.

5 minute droughts have been quite common the last 8 games.
