Underrated thing, Celtics have been getting away with alot of pushing on screens, but trying to sell it wouldnt work that well with jow the game is being played

Like I don't mind losing. But the blowouts and the live ball turnovers are just too much.

I feel like the whol second night of a back to back stuff gets way to over blown sometimes. There are nights like this littered through an nba season where teams on second night of back to back come out and beat the team a who ate suppose to be rested.

Jalen’s hit like 3 3’s in a row and instead of hitting him again Franz is going to dribble into the paint and lose the ball for like the 5th time tonight.

WCJ/Goga
Paolo/Isaac

Moe can play when Isaac rests or there are specific matchups he can feast on.
Nah thats an overeaction. Moe has been excellent this year

I think it’s fair to also say that we’re playing below capacity, and without depth who are arguably starting calibre.

Imagine if we had WCJ off the bench for this game instead of Moe Wagner?


But again, Moe's been awesome the vast majority of this season. Yes, he's been AWFUL tonight, but he's been extremely good most of the year. Does he deserve to lose his rotation spot? Certainly not.

I have never just been a big fan of how reactionary people are to individual losses. Especially blowout losses.

Sometimes guys just don't play well and it isn't much deeper than that. One horrible effort shouldn't supersede multiple weeks of good play.

Give the keys to Black and the green goblins. But keep Isaac instead of Schofield.

That last possession with Tatum backing down Cole and Moe just sliding out of the way was disgusting.

Same. Like some one said earlier. When we lose we just look horrible. I think our only solid showing in a lose was that hawks game in mexico. I believe every other L we have taken has been down right ugly basketball ending on 15 plus point L.
