Shaqtin' a fool moment with Jaylen inadvertently knocking it into Tatum's face. Just get two hands on these loose balls, please. Poking and swatting won't put it in your hands.

Yeah not seeing them doing anything worth mentioning defensively…JB on butler for the most part has done well everyone else is a step late on rotation. Still getting confused on who to guard defensively against this team

Where do the Celtics rank in three-ball defense?

I don't like this feeling I'm getting. Boston starts so bad in the third and it closes out so bad against this team in the fourth.. I feel we need to get a nice big lead because any close game goes in their favor.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Jaylen can hang on the rim all he wants but he just doesn't get up that high.

Tatum on right block is more or less unstoppable. Should be their go to when they need points.

Our top 3 defense has awoken the Heat offense, which has been garbage for weeks now.

Brad pulling this Porzingis steal and avoiding Jail Time is unreal stuff.
