In for quite a shock when we finally face a healthy playoffs-worthy team.

Won't be able to get away with this type of effort against the Knicks even if they are short-handed. Brunson is no joke

In all seriousness. Those guys are just so lazy and entitled... They have that speech "nah man, we ain't a superteam and you guys just have a bunch of expectations...", but they play like everything is already won and they are the world champions already and have nothing to prove

We're such an unserious team. What a low effort game.

2 nicely competent reounds by Hauser (counting the tap out) and then the offensive tap as well. Expected, actually, at least by me. ... Now I wish he'd hit some shots as well.

On some of our offensive possessions, it was like watching pre-season where they're trying new stuff or going random.

It's hard to come to the conclusion that these guys even care at all.

Knicks will smash them in the boards and out effort them mightily at this level

People like to ignore the red flags because they’ve gotten by beating up two severely overmatched teams right now.

In these moments I miss Smart's hustle and energy. Even though it came with some really dumb shots and hero ball, he was a really vocal guy on D and showed a huge bunch of leadership, things we're lacking right now

When fans complain that Celtics "play down to competition", this is what we mean. We find a way to win most of the time but this isn't going to fly in later rounds. It's habit-forming that might bite us in the ass later on.
