Let's not go that route...

(saying that Kyrie is right)

Honestly having Kyrie Irving mentoring a young Jayson Tatum for 2 years will go down as GM Danny Ainge worst move in Boston. Bad decision. Picked up a lot of bad habits

As bad as our offense was, defense was more of the problem.

Only 3 of our best 5 are available and out of those 3 only 1 is playing well. It’s been like that all year; our best guys are inconsistent and don’t show up

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

Just a month ago, when we go down by 10+, I'm confident we'll still win. Now not so much haha.

In all reality, Tatum needs to be told to catch the ball and go instead of pretending he's Curly Neal up top only to turn the ball over.

The way the Celtics are built is at least 2 of the 5 starters have to have nice games or they are done.

Right now 2 are out (Walker, Brown), 2 are having bad games (Tatum, Hayward) and 1 substitute Smart having a nice game.

No bench, not good enough

Just gonna go ahead and say it.

I don't care that Smart wants to be a star and is making progress towards scoring.

This team has been bad since Smart returned. Period.

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

Better see something from JT & GH this half.


And that’s on Brad? Brads telling Gordon to not be aggressive? He’s telling Tatum to brick all those 3’s? He’s telling the team to give Booker a nice cushion to get his shot off?
