White and PP are to blame for this loss, Jaylen is the reason it was close.

Ugly loss. Portland earned it, but we played to their sloppy level.

Mistakes late in the game cost the Celtics this game.

Also doesn't help that White went 2-10 from 3 and the Cs overall just 29% from 3.

That's why the Cs need another scorer.

Simons can't be that guy because he's not getting enough minutes.

Brad needs to get someone that can score that Joe will play.

White and PP stinking it up to end the game is fitting.

White gets his flowers here 24/7 if that was Smahhht playing , this board would crucify him. This L’s on him for sure and JB Sat way too long in the second half

I hope Joe points out, in the film session, that when our guy is near the half-court line, don't set a pick that will allow our guy to get trapped by a 2nd defender.

This loss is on the players (except Hugo and JB) not Joe..

Maybe White's worst ever game for us.

Portland are very hard to beat at home btw but this is another self-inflicted loss.

Yeah. Portland did hustle.
Celtics gave up a 10-pt lead, and never really got it back.
