We can't stop anyone on the perimeter. It doesn't even matter who plays.

They did a terrible job of getting the ball to Brown late, I think. Smart kept hogging the ball and taking ill-advised shots.

They tried getting Jaylen open, I think he was just too gassed to really be able to.

It does. He has been good on Morant since we made that switch
We lost. No moral victories here.

There is no moral victory for me but it's clear watching he played well against Morant than everyone else

Rob Williams was the difference maker on D, not Smart. we made a run, and he brought some intensity..he went out, and we lost.

DONT TRADE SMART!!!!!! IDC!!!!!

The Smart haters have been very quiet for a while. They jump on him whenever possible. This loss isn’t on him , it’s on Brad for not adjusting and leaving Theis in their. RWIII stopped them
From attacking the paint. We simply can’t stop any team in the league. Our team defense is terrible

Celtics Basketball! Smart's dumb ass hero ball again, Brad's dumb ass subs late in the game again, Celtics dumb ass lazy defense, opponents shooting lights out in 3's again.....what else is new now a days? :noway:

Recurring theme unfortunately

Most of the team was embarrassing on the defensive end for the majority of the game in this one though.

I understand it happening one night here and there, but it’s amazing how it’s so obvious yet the effort doesn’t improve. You just start to wonder if some of these guys have the correct attitude to be successful going forward or if Ainge will need to make major changes,

It was both..smart is good enough and tough enough to body the roller when Williams walls them off. He also took 2 charges. It's OK you don't like him. But you can at least be objective

Exactly. It's okay to take shots, just not bad, off balance ones like the last 3 he took.

Pats spent a lot of $ in free agency for the first time.

Beat me to it. I always try to predict his responses to my Smart takes. I personally incorrectly predicted some variation of his passive agressive "if you knew basketball..." go to.

They weren’t good shots, but the offense was stagnant, everyone was just standing around.

I'm not surprised we took an L. Without any changes we take an L on anyone :lol:

He objectively has been bad defensively. Hopefully we win the next one. Good talk man.

Second night of a back to back, short handed as hell.. Makes sense if you think about it.

Not really when everyone’s been questioning the heart of this team night after night.

Heart was there I thought. Missing 3 starters, on the road on a back to back.. 'scheduled loss' as we like to say. Morant was just quicker and fresher than our guys.

Jaqua92 · Post #639 » by **Jaqua92** » Tue Mar 23, 2021 3:35 am

It's clock work..team needs a culture change. We aren't a .500 team. These guys look like they're done. Danny needs to make changes.

Perk is sweaty.

Williams can't play every min. It's not hard to just see that. He played the last 6 mins of the game. If he played the first 6 mjns of thr quarter people would complain why he isn't finishing the game.
