Kornet is just useless as a rim protector. Too soft. B2b baskets against him

This game doesn't count since we don't have Tillman available.

Celtics defense has been embarrassing as of late. Need to build better habits on that end

Trae Young is so annoying. I hate when we play that guy.

Hawks do this every game.

They're a very good offensive team.

It's when they start missing and they can't get stops that made them a lottery team this season.

Will Tillman have enough time to get from Logan to the Garden for the 2nd half? We need some defense.

Exactly.
We can't let them score so much. We have to Defend better.

Does Defense start in the second quarter?
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.

It's more the Hawks offense than the Celtic defense.
