Getting frustrated with JT just standing strictly behind the three point line now. This whole time is buying into shooting threes only to an extreme level now. Zero attempt at any post ups anymore. You’re too big and strong not to get easy baskets near the hoop.

I don’t know what’s up, but it’s down.

Jrue has posted twice IIRC.

Brown, trying to shoot against five people

Joe just screamed that brown."what are you doing taking a two point shot?"

Horford needs to stop shooting threes. He has to be 1-15 over the past two games

Now that shots are falling it’s over

How are other coaches allowed to call timeouts when we score consecutive baskets?

Why take away the only thing he only does now on offense? That's elder abuse.

This is the game plan for opponents against the Celtics. Double the jays and dare Horford to hit open threes.

That they just gotta make more shots. Come on now. We're way past that after Cs won a title. Create better shots then? How about attacking opposing team's weaknesses to help our shooting efficiency that's been the worst this month vs. any month since he became coach?

I tried to tell you, he is not worried about D because they weren’t talking it up like last season, months ago. They don’t care. Maybe he doesn’t remember, that was our downfall the season before the chip. JB does mention it often.

TBf, he doesn't sound concerned about either end of the floor.

Horford has hit 40+ percent the last 2.5 years from three point range. Bad strategy

I can't express how much I hate these uniforms. Does not feel like I'm watching the Boston Celtics at all

Threes are less disgusting when they fall.

JT + Exciting Whites lineup.
