Celts Still Caven't Found What They're Looking For! Game 2 Loss vs CLE 5/9 (Tied 1-1)

[Mr_Mojo_Risin]

Sometimes I think our guys switch so they can take a defensive possession off.

Miscommunications happen. I can see why JT covered the lane and didn’t switch and why Derrick thought they had.

Twitter buzzing right now saying we lost because Joe spammed Derrick White pick and roll in the 3rd. Here's what we got out of all those Derrick White initiated plays in the 3rd.
Wide open corner three (missed) for Horford
White off a curl, open jumper (made)
White turns down Tatum pick, drives and gets a layup (missed, 2 FTs)
Gets Tatum a switch to Garland, layup (made) and 1 FT
Wide open ATB three (missed) for Horford
Kornet layup (missed, 2 FTs)
Kornet layup (missed, 2 FTs)
Wide open pull up three for White (missed)
3 open threes, 1 open jumper, 4 layups.
Derrick White cut up the defense like a freaking surgeon.

That's really the weakness of the switching defense, miscommunication results in an automatic score for the opposing team.

7 games in and our pathetic “superstar” is not locked in. It’s an uphill battle trying to win with this guy

This Team can't be trusted. I feel bad for fans paying for tickets. Every other game is a total dud at home. It's pathetic.

If they only go when they expect to win, they’re not very good supporters…

Like I said last night, no issue with DW at all. He missed shots so he took heat but I'll live with DW stuff all day.

They should switch more against teams that can only beat them with a ton of threes.

They should do it better. But they should do it.

Its not just that. Why are we even begging, hoping for JT to show up. Damn, you think losing in the finals, and getting punked last year woukd make this guys hungry and motivated. Oh well, on to the next game.

[fallguy]

In the end, this is on Joe. He has all the weapons. Every advantage. And you hit him once and he collapses.

Maybe we survive his idiocy and win a title, but I think we're in the Jimy Williams / Grady Little phase of this franchise.

Its fine to lose at home. That happens. Just not like that.

Austin Reaves, D'Angelo Russell, and Cam Reddish for Tatum will be on the table after the season is over.

They have been quite lot. This game was just not good enough defensively in both effort and because of our offense. In some ways our lack of threes contributed to leaking in defense, the missed shots around the rim led to guys dropping their heads and not working hard enough back. At least when you miss a three you can get back quicker. But regardless, the effort only needs to be slightly off at this level.

Like I said after game 2 against Miami, I’ll judge them based on how they respond next two games.

I wouldn't be surprised if they put us out of our misery by heading back to Boston down 1-3.

Really?

Losing by 1pt or 2pts is worse.

Losing a close game only confirms the Cs are bad in the clutch.

If the NBA allows the Cs to swap Joe for Doc Rivers in this year's playoffs, would you guys prefer that?

They literally have no home court advantage. It's pathetic. Lose 4 all year then in the playoffs already lost 2. Lost freaking 3 to Miami in a series last year. They should be embarrassed. They should crush teams at home.

Honestly, yeah lol. What about you?
