It's basically 2 things. Boston is getting good shots needs to knock down some of those threes and the 2nd one is Grant Williams should not be playing anyone else at this point please. Juancho, parker?
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

that wasn't bad D by Grant. Just a hell of a move by Randle with that crossover dribble, drive and finish. He's good. Just got to keep making him work for every shot
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Looks like Nesmith left all his three's on the practice floor.

Like the ball movement...keep it up!!

Bad decision by Smart to force the pass to Nesmith when there was nothing there.

Even if Nesmith caught the ball, there were 3 Knick players in the area.

It cost the Celts 2 points because Randle scored off the Celtic turnover.

Tatum looks more muscular but you gotta be careful. That extra muscle can do weird things to your shot. It’s why someone like Durant pretty much kept the same build his whole career. I know it’s one game but his shot looks…different.

Horford is going to be such a big piece for us against guys like Randle and Adebayo.

I was thinking that as well. Nesmith's shot is off balance today.

Grant is getting torched too. Maybe Juancho fares better?

Not really. He's just missing. It's not even "one game", it's one half lol
