Can’t do drop coverage on Curry. You would think the Celtics know this by now

Are the Celtics mainly Horford ever going to learn that you can’t play drop coverage against Curry. Such trash defense

Tatum invisible. We are relying on Holiday’s one on one…it’s your team **** ask for the ball and attack like you did earlier. Where is the fire

So oft all the players we have to bring the ball up and initiate the offense.. Our coach has Brown doing it in crunch time. Joe is literally a **** useless big game coach..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Why is Jaylen Brown trying to create for himself in crunch time? Did he not learn anything from game 7 last year???

They are doubling him. He is being a decoy.

Offense has slowed down to a crawl, initiating the offense taking off 10-14 seconds off the shotclock every possession

Agree here, why bother with White or Jrue at all if they arent allowed to do what they do...

Horford is old. Not his fault, he shouldn't be asked to close out games.

So many options in the clutch. White equally if not better at initiating offense

Our offense isn't great but defense is the problem here. They are scoring every possession inside 6 mins.

Has anything changed crunch time?

The only thing changed is Porzingis being reliable in the post when you need a basket.

But the slow garbage pace thing with the lead still there

Awful awful awful close out AGAIN
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.
