So far this year, the record has been good, but the increase from 42 3PTA to 50 3PTA per game seems to have sapped some joyful spirit from the games. I wonder if Charles Lee and JVG were somewhat moderating voices inside the team, because we literally have so many possessions where the ball never gets inside the arc, and it’s just lifeless basketball, maybe it’s just me, but it seems we’re going the wrong way strategically…

Hauser has made so many mistakes on D tonight

The shooting for the Bucks, lately, is high level.

Give credit where credit is due.

They silenced PP. Huge factor apart from White no-show.

Our D against the Bucks is disgusting. Guys like Pritchard and Quetta aren't playable. They're just getting murdered on switches every time down the floor and they're contributing nothing on the other side.

Only a three point game but it might as well be 30, scoring has been a struggle

Mazzula ball bothered me last year. With a chip in the bag I don’t mind. Might even save some possible injuries from driving into contact. Lol

Only the playoffs matter this year. We will win enough games shooting 50 a game anyways. So meh.

I will be happy when we don’t see Milwaukee for awhile. Celtics just look terrible against these type of teams. Don’t know why.

Horford White and PP have been particularly bad.

NYCelticsfan136 · Post #274 » by **NYCelticsfan136** » Sat Dec 7, 2024 2:38 am

Play some damn defense.

PierceFan4ever · Post #275 » by **PierceFan4ever** » Sat Dec 7, 2024 2:38 am

Horford so bad on offense lol

Hated that Hauser three. I know he hit 2 of them earlier in semi transition but ughhh we have some momentum, the game is tied, the bucks finally turned it over and we just give them the lead right back after a quick semi contested Hauser three

If the Foul is on Horford, we win this Challenge.
If it's on Hauser, we lose.

We needed to win the no Giannis minutes by a large margin.

Charles Lee can't possibly be a moderating voice since he brought the three-ball to Charlotte. They're 2nd in attempt rate.

This just feels like a loss. They're responding to every spurt. Every time we have a chance to take control, we take a horrible shot or make a braindead play. Oh well. Shooting is going to abandon you some nights
