But, what happened to Kemba?

knee soreness, xrays were negative, cbs said it doesn't seem like an injury that will be a problem longterm.

Celtics again letting up 60+ points in a half. That’s lottery team defense

I actually think Kyrie was right all along. This team needs more vets on it who know how to play situational basketball.

Probably just giving him a day off under the guise of a sore knee.

I get being down guys injury-wise, but a good defensive team like this should not give up 60.

Part of it is the lack of a big, but more of it is just lack of effort.

Booker does t average 40 pts a game. Is it too hard to old him to his average? I don’t know wtf we are doing on D.

And, Gordon and Tatum terrible shooting. But I do t like the spacing they are getting. Can we tase semi and Poirer and a first round for saric?

Tatum Ended the 1st Q by pushing Weak Baynes and scored at a buzzer... I said something ..

Really wanted Green to Dunk on baynes .. and you’re getting mad???

A couple games ago you made a xenophobic comment about a ref. Today you are ruining the game thread with your non-stop trash about Baynes.

I think you need to calm down before the site administrators notice that you are a previously banned user under a new name.

Wait what??? Who are u ??? Under a new name ??? Let em check.. I never made any new account .. must be mistaken or u smoking some Chinese Weed! Yes I did and I got a warning and I didn’t repeat. If you’re butt hurt about the comment. I’m sorry

We had more vets last season -- Baynes, Horford, Mook. We over-adjusted and went real young. Least experienced NBA team, per the graphic earlier.

Spot on.

Marcus playing hard...JT & GH sucking.
Team D awful.

Usually can't stand Smart shooting but i was really glad to see him take that last shot instead of Tatum Hayward...those guys need to pick it up in the 2nd

Told yall. Not liking the attitude of our team and it starts with the HC, IMO.

I pretty much thought Brad was the boy wonder for a long time. Really, from when he got here, all the way through the '18 playoffs. Not sure what happened, but he seems not able to motivate his guys anymore.

I almost want to lose more games, just so Ainge will make a move before the trade deadline. Almost. I don't want our team to lose. Not even one game. 82-0 forever!

Wtf? We are way younger than last year’s team. When Kyrie mentioned vets, he wanted brown and Rozier gone.

Right now, we are playing Wanamaker and Jevonte Green. We just need to make a love to get more talent off the bench.

PSA: If Smart has a repeat performance in the 2nd half, he will be tied for 4th all time in 3pt made in a single game (with Curry, Kobe, and Donyell Marshall, obviously).

I don’t know. Look at our roster. Are we really better than the suns if this team didn’t have Kemba and Jaylen on it?

What’s the deal with Romeo? You’d think he would get in a game like this . And I guess grant F’d up so brad buried him? I don’t get our coach at all . Hayward and Tatum are struggling and you have a guy in Langford who allegedly can score.

Jakeopp · Post #358 » by **Jakeopp** » Sun Jan 19, 2020 1:14 am

Romeo better get minutes the in the second half

exculpatory · Post #359 » by **exculpatory** » Sun Jan 19, 2020 1:14 am

Sick of CBS. Truly.

We are not winning a shoot out between Booker VS Smart.

Better see something from JT & GH this half.

Krkrich · Post #360 » by **Krkrich** » Sun Jan 19, 2020 1:15 am

I'm not going to say the effort isn't there. I think it's more of a talent thing. Look, I love what Wannamaker has done, but he's a garbage time player on a good team. Same with Green. Semi. Hell, Grant Williams too.

This team was built to rely heavily on 4 guys. there is little margin for error. When 2 of those guys are out and one isn't the same player he used to be because of injury, this is a garbage team.
