It’s not even like Detroit is hitting 3s either.

We are just a really stupid basketball team

Ok, that has to be our worst half of basketball all season.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Yeah, Cs still have a game tomorrow.

Don't risk getting injured by trying to make a furious come from behind win.

Brissett is +9 in 6 minutes. There's our formula. Seriously, if the starters don't come out with some fire, Joe should bench their asses. He doesn't have the balls to do it, of course.

#10 is like the Maroon team's Rondo. Can do everything but shoot.

As good as this team has looked at times the past couple of years, this is the exact reason why this iteration of this Celtics team (Tatum as #1 option) is the one I dislike the most.
Even more than the Kyrie iteration.

Celtics took 24 three point shots and hitting 17%. Celtics guaranteed to take at least 35 more three point shots in the 2nd half

Tonight’s win is more important than winning against Toronto. Celtics have no business losing to Detroit at home

My worry with Joe is he’s too analytical driven with the 3 point attempts. He fails to make any adjustments until it’s too late.

Boston does this a few times a season, every year. Low BBIQ is jacking up three's when they are not going in. DRIVE THE HOOP !!! Get fouls, turn the momentum around. This is NOT on the coach. If Tatum wanted to drive the lane, nothing Joe could say would stop him. I love Tatum, but he is the star, the face of this team. This kind of suck is completely on him.

We need to get some tougher guys on the court, Lamar, Brissette, how about Dalano on Cade? Can't be any worse

All about shooting luck. Even against the worst team in basketball. We'll get luckier with the threes next half. You'll all see! Just keep chucking and our luck will change.

Time for these morons to realize that there are other ways to score than continually taking 3's, particularly when you're 4-24.

:noway: :banghead:
