Like, this is so frustrating. This is all all system based. Our system is so **** bad.

Glad someone else cringed a bit at that, Donovan was like 3 steps back from the 3 point line and he's doing a robert williams impresssion on a ball fake? Without trying to labour a negative point, i'm really skeptical of Semi being a passable defender beyond the occasional ability to take contact. The awareness and IQ just isn't there :-?

Semi is on the court for 2 reasons. def and 3's. And he sucks 9 out of 10 games he's on the court in both.

Three Free throws, and the ball.
This could end up a 6 pt play.

Mitchell extended his own leg unnaturally. Hardly the fault of defender. He kept safe distance.

Semi should be benched for the whole game. Give his minutes to Nesmith or something.

You hear that Ojeleye is a smart guy, but that flagrant foul was a moron play.

So now we know why Semi never actually contests shots.

Horse **** call. One of many reasons the league's becoming unwatchable

Jazz are shooting 50% too, with most of them threes. If we could hit threes our lead would probably be bigger.

I hate how every Celtic keeps dying on those screens set for Clarkson. That's just bad defense and attention to detail.

It's because our defense is robotically "switch-everything" that our players aren't even thinking on D anymore. Just sort of going through the motions. No one even tries to get over a pick. Just a lazy switch every time

The Jazz are beating us despite 10 TOs and allowing us to shoot 60%+.

Danny should give Brad a real bench

Three fts plus possession for the Jazz. Huge swing for them here, and I want to kick Semi off the team for it.

He must value that he doesn't make massive mistakes generally. He's usually in the right spot on both ends, but he has absolutely zero basketball skill and he doesn't hustle, doesn't ever make a play. Brick wall on both ends.

I dunno, man, I remember when we were taking 30-40 a game a couple seasons ago and fans were irate that we're trying to imitate the Warriors too much. Be careful what you wish for.

Who else is he going to play? The bench is absolutely terrible so by default he gets playing time.

How do you not have Tatum in to close out a quarter?

Post #300 » by **Bleeding Green** » Wed Mar 17, 2021 12:39 am

This is gonna be a bloodbath in the second half when the Celtics stop hitting almost every single jump shot.
