Celtics Nice Dads, Let Sons Win! Loss vs PHI 11/8

[CelticsPride18]

Bucks down 7 to the pistons.

Deflect deflect deflect

Giannis got tossed from that game

[Fierce1]

To be fair, we played two very good teams on the road and lost one in OT and the other with a shot to tie.

Not concerned with the wins and losses this early.

It's how the Cs lost the last 2 games that's worrying.

The last 2 games the Cs still looked like the Cs of last season.

Guess it's a case of old habits die hard.

Y’all too results oriented. Like good shots go in, bad shots miss. We know good shots sometimes miss and bad shots go in.

The end result doesn’t mean a play was a good play or a bad play.

I think team needs to take more kid range and floaters and they really gott find a way to get the big guy away from the basket. Goebert and Embiid were the difference

Nice comeback.

Brown was bad. Last play of the game, Tatum didn't want the ball. He was moving away from the 3 point line when KP got the ball. Tatum was off balance, trying to catch the ball. KP caught it. Tatum had time to regroup and move towards the 3pt point line and call for the ball. But he wanted no part of the ball. Meanwhile KP had 2 guys running at him.

Joe with another bad coached game. Horford and Pritchard are really hurting his team off the bench. They combined to go 1-10 from the field.

I feel bad for Joe. He has to play Pritchard. They can't bench him after just giving him a big contract. But Pritchard has lost all confidence after being in a major slump in the first 7 games of the season, outside of 1 good quarter in those 7 games.

Tatum never asserts himself offensively. I didn’t know what he was doing trying to catch that ball, did he not know the play? Was the play not for KP? I have no idea.

I love Tatum and he’s better this year but I can’t recall a single time in his career he really demanded the ball or even said please to get it.

[CelticsPride18]

Tatum needs to get to the free throw line in this type of games but he was pretty indecisive the whole game.

[KillahGhostface]

Do we think someone can drop 46 and 51 in multiple elimination games, and not call for the ball a ton?

What’s going on?

[return2glory]

KP played really well, outside of those 2 missed dunks. I wish he was a better rebounder.

Props to Tatum for the 15 rebounds and 6 assists.

Hauser was good. Jrue was solid. White started off great but cooled off.

I already mentioned how bad Brown, Al and Pritchard were. Along with Joe.

We have the worst bench in the league at the moment with Al and Pritchard struggling on their shooting.

He's trying to be selfless.

Unlike Kobe, JT doesn't have a strong personality.

Time will come when the pecking order will be defined.

Hopefully it's sooner than later.

I dare you guys to go look at Pritchard's last five games:

https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/4066354/payton-pritchard

He’s been horrific.

Deadset feel like he hasn’t hit a shot in an actual NBA game since game 1 of the 2022 finals

It's the having new teammates, who are also very good, factor.

Adjustment period needed.

My buddy complains about that all the time. He needs to demand the ball. To many weird just floating out there games.

Brown is bad
Horford is old

But brown is bad

Horford jacking up 3 after 3 and just not even close on most! Yikes!

His defense was elite at times though! Wish he would have stuck that and just passed the ball instead.

[fallguy]

Tatum was fine. Fire at the right targets.

If Jayson Tatum and the team don’t recognize him as someone who needs the ball more than not that’s a problem in of itself. That shouldn’t even be a question.

Horford has to shoot those threes cuz he's cooked even worse taking any other shot. Nobody worse than PP right now. He's a train wreck.

[Memokerobi]

Two really good rim protectors really hurt our offense. Something for them to work on going further into the season. We’ll see a lot of them in the playoffs (Embiid, Giannis-Lopez, Bam, Mobley-Allen, Claxton).

I think they have the personnel to deal with it but they need to play smarter

[31to6]

time to blow it up and toss the keys to Walsh; the kid just might be the Next Big Thing and if so let’s make the most of his years on his rookie scale contract!

Spoiler:

For those uncertain, yes I was trying to write the worst post ever here.

Obviously toss the keys to Svi, not Walsh;)

[fallguy]

I guess it's still possible we'll face Washington in the Eastern Conference Finals. We totally have their number!

[GrandTheftRondo]

Dude said we executed well. They got like 10 stops in a row down 1 and spammed 3's. Dudes not it.

Not sure what game you were watching.

The Celtics might have made a few errors but they got quality open looks all night and just couldn’t get them to fall.

White and Horford missed about ten wide open threes.

Defensively they did fine. Took Maxey 27 shots to get 25 points.

[lon3lytoaster]

That game log for PP other than one quarter against Indiana is brutal. 0-8, 0-4, 0-3, 0-4.

Ya don’t expect much from him but I don’t get it. Did he discover weed or idk whippets since the end of preseason?
