Celtics are now 11-43 when shooting below 28% from 3 since 2018-19. Rare feat. The 15-rebound edge helped a ton. 17-8 advantage in second chance points. 26-11 advantage in points off turnovers. Basically, we won with our hustle.

The difference between the turnovers of JT and JB is JB's turnovers are something you see in high school.

Queta grabbed 10 boards in 15 minutes, amazing! If he can block shots as well, we have our defensive-minded big.
It’s good to win, but I’m still stuck at the loss against the Magic. They are too tough and tall for us. I would do anything not to face them in the playoffs.

VC goes to Horford for the season high 15 rebounds and Queta for 7 points and 10 rebounds in only 15 minutes.
Horford and Queta's rebounding were the difference in the game along with the team defense. We outrebounded the Hawks 58-43.
I said before the game that Joe needs to go with Queta and Stevens. One out of two isn't bad.
Tatum and Brown combined for 7 assists and 8 TOs and shot 1-7 combined in the last 4:20 of the game. The only basket being made by a Tatum layup off a fast break and a good pass from White.
6 of those TOVs were JT's. He needs to work on taking care of the ball.

For me it has less to do with "corny" having a good or bad game, It has more to do with We know exactly what he is about at this point. Clearly Queta in a small sample size shows some promise. And I think clearly he is better at the things We need more, such as rebounding and defense. Certainly have to respect his high energy..
At the very bare minimum, we need to see how well he can play in a bigger role before the trade deadline. And certainly more than Kornet.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe..

They definitely have more trust in his ballhandling and decision-making than I do.
His aggression can be a double-edged sword sometimes.

I think we as fans don’t often like to acknowledge it but the team does imo spend a lot of time developing their guys during the regular season.
That they aren’t always going to their strongest move isn’t a bug but a feature.

You are what your record says you are.
Didn't a football coach said that?
Some of the Celtic fans are just asking for perfection.
As long as the team keeps winning.
This Celtics team is still not at 100% because of changes made in the offseason.
Give them time.

Considering how far he's come since he was a rookie maybe it's still something they feel he can develop, thus the force feeding with the second unit. He's had some decent games lately as a distributor, maybe consistency will come later.

That's plausible.
I just hope that "later" is not 5 years from now.

No one is expecting perfection. Records don't mean Shet.. Can't speak for others but I just want to see more than 1 Chip in 38 years... or is it 40?? I am starting to lose count.

That's just the high standard of Celtic fans.
Teams like the Jazz have no chip in their history.
The NBA is for entertainment, first and foremost, and getting a chip is just a bonus.

That's going to be a problem.
The Celtics' system requires you to make shots when open.
If he's on the floor with 4 shooters (KP or Al at the 5) it's not that much of an issue.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything
