Good Time Out, Celtics.

Been awhile since I've said that.

Horford completely inept on offense.

Jaylen brown 3 point shot has been cheeks so far this season besides the wizards game. Needs to shoot his open shots better

No longer Joe’s fault they keep missing these wide open threes. Can’t force it inside with Embiid patrolling the paint. Make some threes!

Feels like whoever is down low is getting mugged on the boards.

We need a reliable scorer off the bench, we currently don’t have one. I hope Brad can make a trade at some point.

Yes the three rotation guys have been quite disappointing. Really need more there from them. Al has actually looked cooked which I didn’t think last year

I mean he's like the oldest big in the NBA. Not sure anyone over 6'10" is close to his age.

He probably should be retired.

It's bad GMing that we didn't aggressively seek replacements for his role. Or retain Grant Williams anticipating that his legs could finally be shot.

He’s still good on defense, Edwards notwithstanding. Ant cooked everyone.

As frustrating as it has been to watch our bench, at least our 6th man isn't Furkan Korkmaz.
