Pritchard gives us nothing. Give Banton a try. He can’t be any worse.

[jfs1000d]

Ya gotta make open shots. Holy cow. Thst, and what’s with everyone firing up contested 3s?

Again, having a rim protector has bothered Boston. They need to shoot the mid range. Layups aren’t there. And 3s are contested. Tatum, Brown have to make mid range jumpers. Enough with this layup or 3 analytic. Two games in a row an elite rim protector has made us struggle.

They should take more 3s. It worked so well for them in the playoffs.

[CelticsPride18]

Trash ass Covington and Beverley scoring this game might be done. Tatum getting locked up as well

[Bar Fight]

Too dependent on the outside shot for the Cs.

Embiid doing a great job protecting the paint.

Cs just can't score inside in this quarter.

Didn't we have them right where we wanted them like 3 minutes ago?

[BK_2020]

How is not not a foul on Embiid?

Because he sent Pritchard's weakass joke of a layup back without making illegal contact.

[jfs1000d]

I do think it may be time to worry about Jaylen’s three ball, this is a years long trend.

He didn’t shoot the three well last year either…miss 2022 JB

I don’t know what the **** happened. His midrange used to be automatic too now it’s everything short when he shoots

It’s longer than 2022 lol.

These are his catch and shoot numbers since 20-21

43.1
36.7
33.4
33.3

He kicks his leg out. It’s weird

Worst case scenario is Cs fold and move on.

Just one game in early November.

[1st banana]

Horford is not playing good basketball either date I say.

[Kalela]

Saying PP is struggling is an understatement.

[NYCelticsfan136]

Same old clowns. Hard to believe these guys are called superstars. Play tough defense and these guys fizzled out.

[Green89]

We just look like are a poorly coached team.

Fixed

[BK_2020]

Finally made a dunk.

[zoyathedestroya]

Same team that loses its focus and defensive intensity when they miss shots. Nothing to do with Smart.

[KillahGhostface]

Probably gonna expect a roller coaster again from JT come playoff time…

I think this might be an overreaction lol. He had 32 on 22 shots last game.

Yeah, but a lot can happen in 3 minutes.

Babies are made in less than 3 minutes.

[celticfan42487]

You won’t win many games shooting 35% from the field

We have no offense.

It's NBA2K styled offense. Just go out there and ISO or pass it around. Occasionally call a pick.

Wish there was a system and we actually isolated good and bad matchups or focused on our players good at ballhandling (Jrue) actually do the ball handling.

Jrue Holiday is on the court and we constantly see Jaylen Brown with the ball in his hand as a creator. That's **** stupid.

Hell not having Jrue be your primary creator and having White as great as he is, is also pretty **** dumb. And White is a capable combo guard. But you should be able to draw up plays with all the skills Jrue has to take advantage of him to do way more than what you're doing right now. Specifically with this core of players.

I can't imagine what this team would be like if we got Nick Nurse instead.

[PierceFan4ever]

Wish we had Maxey instead of JB

[BK_2020]

Maxey on Jaylen is a mismatch.

[Scarletfire81]

One positive is Hauser looks much improved this season.
