Apologies to like 10-12 of you, but this board is an abomination.

I genuinely hate most of you lmao.

This may be the worst defensive team I've seen in 10 years.


Nothing new.

Come on guys... Before this rough patch the team's defense was ranked very high.


It was. Somehow. I think what we've seen the past month is more what this defense is unfortunately

Smart's record meaningless, as it's a loss.

It's probably mutual depending on the 10-12.

How does an NBA player miss a bunny like that? Seriously? Hayward's career as a Celtic has been a disaster so far.

I don’t think we were winning this anyhow but Gordon’s missed layup certainly didn’t help

Has to make that. He just didn’t have full body control and was farther out than he thought. Should have come down with it and went up. Just a bad play.

Smart for three is what Phoenix will expect. Time for Tatum for three.

Only positive from this is Smart. Not even the shooting but the Marcus Smart energy and winning plays. That has been missing for a while.

It sucks that we keep losing these games. But our guys not quitting gives me hope moving forward. :) Just need to figure out these slow starts.

Horford says hi!
“There’s a sense of pride, there’s an edge you have to have to play here. I can only imagine the love, the reception, if you hung one of those banners up. It would be incredible — it’s going to be incredible. I know it.” —Jayson Tatum

What matters is that he sucks and part of the reason we werent in position to win the game.

He sucks ass

Had a good second half. Not great. But leads team I. Assists. Him and Tatum weren’t good and we got no bench.

Three-steal-three and this puppy is ours

Or maybe it was a Celtics atrocious defense. Or maybe it was because they still can't figure out how to score points the first 8 minutes of the first quarter. Hayward was not amazing but he's far from the only problem on this team.

Most of the issues are quite frankly the g leauge bench Ainge created.
