Trash finish

Horford is such a downgrade compared to what Porzingis brings if it wasn’t obvious. Need white to play better.

[ConstableGeneva]

This is what they'll be facing in the playoffs. This level of physicality. We haven't responded well.

[GotDaSauce]

With the way we play in the 3rd quarter we will be down 10 in no time flat!

[Kalela]

That turnover to end the half was really bad. Lazy.

[Bill Lumbergh]

What garbage execution to end that half.

[KamikazeK]

Man Queta really is in the dog house huh? when we have 4 Centers we play only 3, when we have 3 Centers we only play 2...

He should be getting minutes regardless of health but especially with KP out he should be out there.

Horford provides ZERO rim protection these days. If Queta is available, he should be getting minutes.

[Ben-N1ce]

Nothing they can do but aggressively shoot threes with Gobert guarding the paint..

[Celts17Pride]

Brown and Kornet 9 for 12 shooting 75%
Everyone else 8 for 26 shooting 31%

Celtics need to find a hot shooting hand

[Parliament10]

Pritchard is really a good 3rd PG.
Luke and Queta would be a good tandem as 3rd/4th Centers.

I really don't see why Queta is not getting some kinda minutes.
He's shown that he can play.

[Bill Lumbergh]

I still like Brissett a lot. It never seems like he gave them bad minutes. I don't even care about getting a big wing. Brissett is more than fine.

Big Queta always provides physicality and energy.. And certainly a lot of inside presence..

Semi Legitimate Question: Who would help the Celtics win a Title more, Al or The Terminator Naz Reid?

Exactly.

[Ben-N1ce]

It probably already was but it's very obvious KP is the key to a deep playoff run. Their ceiling is way lower without him on both ends.

[keevsnick1]

On a bright note, thought Kornet brought some physicality.

Tatum/Brown need to drive these guys aggressively, without Gobert there will be room at the rim. All seven of Tatum's shot have been jumpers outside the paint (did have two drives he generated FT's on).

[Triple7]

Man, horf does nothing on offense but chuck 3’s. So frustrating. and don’t give me that age crap. 37 ain’t old.

[keevsnick1]

Jaylen was 5-7 with 15 points in 11 minutes in the first quarter. then was 1-1 with 2 points in 7 minutes in the second quarter. I would think when you have a guy on a heater you could find a way to get him more than 1 shot in 7 minutes, especially when its not like your offense was clicking that quarter (scored 22 points)

I go with Horford in the Playoffs.
Toss up in the Regular Season.
