Weird to say, but I think we might be down 10 without Queta. He may well be around here a long time.

Okay, since we have seen that what like one thousand times at some point people want a blame tatum.. That's fine. But I blame the coach who obviously never ever tries to put it into that..

You remember that word accountability... It's like there is zero..

Calm down!! We're fine, gotta get some to go and we're cooking!!

Hopefully Brown can hold it together in a second half while Tatum decides whether he's an MVP player or not

I wanna say his ankle is bothering him but he also does this in other games.

Not sure when Tatum started getting the idea that he’s got a Curry like stroke but the last 10 games have been horrid to watch from him.

Why he has the green light to shoot so many awful threes is beyond me

The fact we’re even up at all after being that gross is impressive.

Do you honestly trust our coach to keep playing him once? Cornet comes back?

Only if we had an average coach… Not a great one, not even a good one, just an average one.

Warriors who have the two greatest shooters in history shot less threes than us.

We have to find a way to get the ball inside against this smaller team.

Brown is the only guy that really wants to take it inside. Tatum maybe a little tentative because of his ankle

this is like our 6th game in about 9 days, i think, and we traveled after an early one the day before. guys are likely tired and chucking 3s because of it.

I would buy that if that isn’t already our identity lol

He might be hitting them consistently in practice...

And yet, eyeballing his talent level looks like he could be even better. I like Luke Kornet but Queta is an exciting prospect.

TheMartian wrote:Warriors with all their threes are so annoying. Can't really separate from them no matter how good you play because they keep hitting their 3s. I think that's Joe's fantasy - that the Celtics shoot the 3 like the Warriors do.

Lol Celtics took like one bad shot the first quarter. Half the shots they took in 2nd were bad..half of them by Tatum.

Tatum coming back might have done us a disservice this game! Let's see if he stops trying to ease into his play the 2nd half but hopefully he brings it!

30 3s - 27 twos

Plus minus leaders at half
DWhite +6
Queta +6
Brissette +5
