We need to step up our defense. Seems like we've been trying to win with offense for the last couple of weeks.

Yeah they aren’t Steph and Klay..

Tatum was doing so well with his post game to start the season but I don’t know what happened the last dozen games where he’s taking quarters off not shooting or being aggressive and settling with lazy three point attempts.

Brown continues to fire away threes even though he hasn’t been good at them for awhile while getting the best looks. His midrange used to be so money now he doesn’t shoot them enough anymore not is he as efficient.

Jays just aren’t playing as well as they did last year.

Wow Jaylen's feet move when he walks forward. Powerful stuff.

Miscommunication. Got lucky Brunson missed a wide open one.

Yeah he has some flashes where he really digs in on D and can make an impact but for the most part he doesn't bother the guys he's guarding enough, they're able to get to their spots and shoot over him pretty easily usually..

He can bother guards/wings on their dribble, rarely on their shots.

Yeah, that's fair..

Defense and rebounding are A bigger problem in this game for sure

Can Kristaps just be our #1?

BK_2020 · Post #188 » by **BK_2020** » Sat Dec 9, 2023 1:27 am

Can they call a loose ball foul on the Knicks for once?

ConstableGeneva · Post #189 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Sat Dec 9, 2023 1:28 am

JB and JT a combined 10 points. And we still putting up 60. Defense is the problem.

Agreed. I talked about this quite a bit in the 23-24 celtics season thread over the past couple of days

Yep. They just very loosely play drop 95% of the time

Good sign that the Jays have 0 turnovers so far.

Knicks are tough.

Very physical.

Porzingis is so important to this team. I wish he was more durable.

playa-hater · Post #200 » by **playa-hater** » Sat Dec 9, 2023 1:32 am

Maybe KP should be our top scoring option.. Until Tatum decides to be more serious.
