I still don't like the Holiday trade. Id much rather have R Williams coming off the bench and Brogdon in the starting lineup than what we have now. Holiday is fine, but he's basically a sidegrade from Brogdon, and Holiday forces a lot more bad shots than I thought he would.

Holiday had a bad shooting night but he was still amazing defensively.

I think there’s some truth that if one of the starting 5 is out, then the Celtics look vulnerable especially against playoff teams on the road. Which to be fair, is expected just like any other team. But we are dependent on the main starting 5. Depth is a problem including Horford off the bench.

Obviously missed Derrick White, who would have probably lowered the turnovers and provided some points as Pritchard was scoreless in 20 minutes and his 3 assists are less than ideal for a primary ball handler. Pritch is more of a shooting guard on offense, which makes him my top Celtics trade candidate, which might not fetch much since the little tyke only makes $4 Mil this year, but then starts a 4 year, 30 Mil contract.

Did he call a play? The dude turtles as soon as his services are required.

Can’t believe Joe **** Mazzulla was given the keys to this car. What a joke.

Wolves made it a tough game for us with their number #1 defense in the league.

They made us look bad. Tatum scored will, but didn't rebound. Also only 2 assists to 6 TOs. That part of his game still hasn't improved so far in the young sesaon.

Al was bad. You can look at plus/minus all day, his game has dropped. I don't want to see him as a starter or play starter minutes.

Jrue had a rough night shooting.

Brown had his moments but the missed shot at the end of regulation and his poor performance in OT was just bad.

Pritchard has been terrible outside of one game in 6.

Kornet with only 1 rebound in 16 minutes. You're 7'2 with long arms. Do better.

KP had a bad shooting night, going 5-14 and only 5 rebounds. He was good at getting to the line. He got a block in the first play of the game and didn't go much on defense after that.

I felt like Joe coached a poor game.

Yes he was lol. Said we should trade Tatum because it would improve the team longterm without hurting them in the present. Also, I **** you not, because we drafted Romeo.

He also just called Holiday a sidegrade to Malcolm Brogdon lmao.

I haven't liked anything I've seen from Joe for a few games. Not at all convinced he makes it to the all-star break.

Call a timeout to draw up a play in regulation. Call a timeout when Edwards is ass stuffing you for 7 straight points in OT.

We will lose EVERY single game where our talent doesn’t completely stand out. Every single one. Dude has ZERO impact on the game. Only thing he did to help was the foul on Gobert. Worst coach in the league.

I'm convinced he has nothing at this point. Let 'em play! Even though they're gonna dribble the air out of the ball and let the defense get set anyway. Then chuck up an extremely low percentage, contested jump shot.

Pritchard has 7 points this season outside of the 4th against Indiana. Way, way too big a role. He’s something you’d hope would flourish with consistency. He got it and isn’t doing Jack ****. We need someone else there.

Obviously not the reason we lost this game but he must have rolled a blunt with that contract extension and is still puffing it.

Mazzulla was so bad towards the end. Excited for this post game

I think he just doesn't understand what a good sample is. We're 5-1, full of talent, and can't win them all. We'll have to take care of the Wolves some other time.

That’s what doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t hate the idea of not calling a TO in principal but if you’re going to let them get set.. what’s the point?

Played iso ball the last 15min of the game and it was a fail. Actually incredible we shot 39%/28% vs. 52%/38% and it was a one possession game in the end. Shows how huge a liability Gobert is

I know he had 5 fouls but they didn't even let KP touch the ball for the 4th or OT, smh

You seem to think we have a coach who has a clue.

Expect more of this.

Williams is out for the season. Brogdon pouted. But yeah, we saw the bad side of Holiday today. Something Bucks fans warned us about.

Yeah, I think the general point stands with Pritchard and Hauser have shown they're not much. And Horford as much as they like to harp on his plus minus playing with the starters... he's not doing much of anything out there and looks about as cooked as he did in the playoffs.

The starters with White look great and can contribute.

This team just needs at least one more real NBA player it can rely on off the bench to get us over the hump and keep things going.

Not sure we will be able to find that this year though, sadly might have to wait till next off season and throw a MLE around for it. Even if last time we did that we got crap all with an old super injury prone Gallo. Hopefully this time we'll do better.

Kinda wish when Christian Wood and Kelly Oubre Jr were out there seeking any deals we were able to nab at least one of them. Either of them would be massive for our team right now to eat up minutes and get it over the hump to have some contributions post our starters of real talent even if they are a bit of knuckle heads. Call them lesser Jaylen Browns basketball wise.

It's not even the lack of buckets with Pritchard, it's what happens with the ball when Pritchard is dribbling. He just puts his head down and slowly drives to wherever the defense funnels him and dumps it off to whoever is the nearest him, usually Kornet or Brissett. The offense just dies whenever Pritchard touches it and proceeds to dribble for the next 10 seconds.

Other than the opening game, Celtics are playing one on one basketball. It works against weaker opposition but it won't work in the playoffs. Sucks to have by far the best team in the league and relegate yourself to an offense that depends on your guys making tough shots.

Don't blame Mazzula,blame the ones who kept him in the job after he embarrassed himself last season.

Low key Tatum’s passing has sucked so far. A lot of dumb TO’s early in the season

I didn’t even think the shot was that bad. It was somewhat open compared to what McDaniels gave up all game long. But you take a timeout just to settle dudes down and get Tatum the ball. He’s just useless. If Doc ever saw Ray Allen go up with the ball like JB did, he would have flown out to the court to call a TO and get Pierce the ball. Basic ****.

Agree not Pritchard, except I will give him about 10-15 more games to get it going.

Right now, our weakness positions are back up PG and back up PF.
