I know they could use the 5-in-7 as an excuse but...

that last play was disgusting. So JB turns the ball over as JT was waiting for a corner pass. JT jogged back already conceding the fast break. White blocked the shot but ball went straight to Aldama (?) with JT still lagging the play. Lucky they missed.

But with that said, such an easy adjustment but Joe just doesn't get it. Put in PP and stick him in the corner. I dare Memphis to let PP shot 17 shots..

Premeditated Joe is still Clueless.


Dude cmon Joe knows that PP isn’t getting guarded like Jrue is if he put him in the corner. Memphis knows Jrue has been bad from the corner 3.

Sit Holiday, start PP.
Celtics are so vulnerable at Center, as I always say, they need a young, talented Big.

Career high 17 FGA in a half for Holiday. It's like watching our games when Smart was our 3rd best player and Heat/Warriors just clamping down on Jays.

Vulnerable?
I don't see that. We have 5 Bigs, and Tatum.

Horford is on the verge of retiring; Porzingis is an injury waiting to happen; Kornet might be the most solid of the rest;
Queta is a reserve guy and Tillman has 50 year old knees.

You could be right, but the change you want is not happening because of so many reasons.

What we have right now will be what we will see now and in the near future.

Just sit Holiday and put in PP - who cares if they play him differently. Holiday is out-Smarting the Celtics this game...

I really really hope at some point Tatum and Brown can get a better handle.... Imo it's both of their biggest flaws

Trust the three. They will fall. These are good open shots.
