I really liked the effort at the end at least, minus that last free throw rebound that neither Giannis or Bobby went for.
Maybe a homer take, but at least in the first half there was some blatant home cooking going on. They went with the foul them on every possession, can't call them all and it worked.

We were never going to win every single match, on to the next one.

Team can't defend anyone worth a damn. This isn't one of those games or on player mistakes.

This is a consistent display of ineptitude defensively. It's a massive issue. Merry Xmas

Giannis: turn off the talking heads, stop getting mad about MVP bs... instead, turn on some Golden State highlights or Suns Amare/Nash highlights. Dame will get you a ring if you give him the keys.

With 2 Superstars the 1 superstar team guys have a better chance at the MVP but we have a better chance at a ring.. Giannis has to punt the MVP and PPG bs NOW and be a team with these guys. Stop listening to Stephen A and Barkley. We should stop talking about it too and only talk about our team chemistry and cohesion.

Eh from my experience, having d has zero correlation to getting v

I blame the coaching staff for not ensuring our players got a nap in before the game

Other than that there's no panic. I believe those wide open misses we had fall on most days. Merry Christmas guys!

No sense worrying about any team. Let other teams worry about us. It's still 4+ months until the playoffs.

But you don't have a PHD in teamwork so you aren't sure to the highest level you can, are you

Let's use this time to give the young guys some experience but we should trade for a defensive guard before the playoffs

If there is a Portis level player available with strength in defense instead of offense I would flip them

The loss sucks, but it's actually kind of impressive that a solid playoff team at home on Christmas had to play probably their best game of the season to barely beat us on a day when we didn't play well at all.

On to the next one.

If I thought there was a way we could improve at the deadline I’d be more optimistic. Just don’t see that we have the chips. We need a Caruso and still keep our top role players like Portis or Crowder. Unlikely to happen.

I'm either blind or this is over my head. If I blame Giannis for anything this game it is that, he didn't come out aggressive enough. He took a couple of frustrating shots, but that seemed more laziness than anything else.

AJ Green was on a heater while Pat was injured. So frustrating to watch him go back to DNPs while Pat gives nothing offensively.

AJ has ability to give you 5/5 or 6/8 from three in 20 min. Pat will never be able to do that.

What worries me about Boston is noone there is chasing individual ppg or MVP bs ... they are going for flow and movement and are ahead of us -- make no mistake that if our brains don't change the marginal talent advantage we have will dissipate quickly against a team like them. If they end the year healthier than us it might be their lucky year to sweep us

From what I see, we have more than 1 dude worried about their stats and PPG
and it's not any new players we've acquired

I’d feel better if Dame or Middleton were in their prime, but they’re not and most of Boston’s core is.

Again where is this Giannis is chasing an MVP coming from? Was there an insider report come out that I'm not aware of? Giannis seems to be playing some of his best ball lately
