How do they always get so open

Timeout should have been called earlier, playing super soft, expecting the calls when they should already know the refs have swallowed the whistles for both sides.

Classic celtics. Lol

Mazzulla has been calling some fairly timely Timeouts.
Could be a little quicker, though.

Tatum starts off playing soft loser ball.

They'll try hard against those 2 though.

Needs a trainer who can help him shoot midrange shots again. It’s absolutely ugly right now.

The team should stop taking Valium at halftime.

We've come back from down 18, 6 points lead is nothing. Gotta play the right way

Omg Nembhard just let it **** go kid. Let it **** go.

2 not a 3 BUT EVERY GODDANG QUARTER

This is so frustrating to watch. Maybe I'm just a spoiled UConn fan who's used to seeing the better team take care of business, but then again, they had superior coaching.

College is not the same. A few teams have the best players in school and some have top high school players not even playing they are so stacked, the NBA is full of players who were great in high school/college ON EVERY TEAM. I would bet nearly all NBA players could probably go back and dominate in college after just 2 NBA off-seasons. I'm not even thinking about guys who get regular minutes either.

This isn't really an accurate description of UConn's team, though. They had a single one-and-done guy on the roster. The teams that were stacked with 5*s (Duke & UK) UNDERPERFORMED in the NCAA tournament. Hence me saying I was spoiled by UConn going out and covering the spread every game. The spread in this game is BOS -7. At this point I'm hoping to win by 1.

And yes, NBA scrubs would dominate college, but that's besides the point.

Ummm . . .

Defense would be nice.

Sometimes it's that the opposition are playing really well and credit to them.

We can lift our effort at times but really we've just got to stick with it. The talk about Pacers from the wider NBA community has been lazy and ignores the fact they have been legitimately good. Not a bad thing for Celtics to deal with and learn from.

They're like 32nd in defense. How do we not put up 80 per half?

We would be able to take better advantage with KP but we have been scoring relatively well, but they have been UNBELIEVABLY all-time great with their shooting while we have been average or a little below from memory.

I think we have our answer. Poor shot selection and settling.

Tatum never gets the landing space calls

Setshot33 · Post #479 » by **Setshot33** » Tue May 28, 2024 1:37 am

Passing up layups to shoot contested three is very dumb.

PierceFan4ever · Post #480 » by **PierceFan4ever** » Tue May 28, 2024 1:37 am

Celtics not moving the ball enough. Feels like if one guy gets the ball down low it’s over.
