Threes never seem to go down for this team when they are trailing. Confidence team.

I don’t want to hear about Derrick white being an all star again lol. Brown against the best teams has sucked ass

Porzingis is the 2nd best player of this team imo

This team has no backup plan when the 3 ball isn't falling. Basically the D'antoni Rockets without a foul merchant PG.

They should drive more to the ring but they can’t finish at the rim either so it’s a moot point

Lue calls a timeout to stop momentum and the clippers go on a run.

Take notes Joe.

We're so clueless on offense. Slow and stagnant. Over-reliant on making threes. Like 2020 ECF all over again. KP, get well soon please.

It would help if they could actually stop the clips from scoring, but every time down the court they get a bucket.

Yup. Come playoff time when the pace slows down and defenses are more aggressive, it’s gonna be hard to kill teams from threes over and over. This coach sucks with no real plan other than fire away threes.

We've been better this year when the 3s aren't falling but a lot of that is KP.

What I don't understand is why Brad Stevens keeps allowing this to go on. I thought everyone knows you can't 3-point-shot your way to a chip unless you have Steph Curry.

Yeah, driving sounds great on paper until you end up with Jrue pounding it off the backboard, White getting blocked and JB finding ways to miss bunnies
