C’s looking soft per usual. Ugly contested three point shots with no ball movement. This unit needs CPR!

Springer might have to play the last 36 minutes for the Celtics to have a chance. Only Celtics player that plays defense

Boston’s playing like garbage and is making my decision not to stay up pretty easy

What's the point of the double big lineup? Play our most injury prone, old and untalented players?

KP and Horford should be saved for the playoffs as much as possible.

Kornet and Queta are mediocre at best.

This looks like one of those bad defensive, bad offensive games for the Celtics

Coaching staff obsession with shooting 3’s has really dampened the cuts to the hoop which we had last year much more, especially Oshae Brissetts role. I wish we’d run cutters through sometimes, just to move the defense and generate some energy, if nothing else

Horford guarding LeBron and Kornet on Hayes just so we can use this **** double big line up. Ofc Lakers running CIRCLES around cement shoe garbage ass Kornet.

Get Kornet out of here

Tatum does not look like a star at all lately. Just lazily chucking threes. You should have move of a bag than this crap you’re showing

Hard to root for this team recently, they have no energy. So lazy.

We literally just let Lebron **** James go one on one with Luke Kornet. I don't care if he's 100 years old and immobile, that's a bucket every single time

Maybe if we shatter our backboard with these bricks, we can have the game postponed?
