Would appreciate if JT would come out of his 6 game nap and be the player he should be!

This game is a perfect example of how +/- and on/off stats are not all that. Tatum has the best numbers and only showed up a minute ago. It has so much to do with the rotations. JB with a team worst minus 15 despite being the only Celtic who showed up ready to play.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."

Strus and Niang was 0/10 from 3 last night. Already made 2. It's just luck.

Jaylen was a sieve on defense but let's ignore that.
Agree with you that a single game +/- isn't very helpful though.

They should post Jrue way more to get him started too. They underutilize that facet of his game.

We are watching different games. Anyway, Tatum has awoken so all is well again!

Such sloppy awful play. This team is like a broken record at times.

Waking up
Better D
Better JT
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

I kinda feel bad for JB's +/-. He did all he could in the 1st Q. But we still got down by as much as 15. Mostly other starters' fault. Tatum and his crew come in, bring us back from the dead.
