Because those guys if you look at it are better on offense. Those guys can dribble and penetrate, then hit a layup or a mid range. JT does nothing but chuck 3’s, or euro step to the basket and just throw the ball not using the glass properly.

Why does Mazzulla give Tatum the awful lineups with the bench with no help? If you’re gonna add a starter, it can’t be Jrue. Bring in white like it used to be with him and jt running the second unit

Man, these games are dull and doleful.
Celtics have turned into basketball zombies right before our eyes.

Right the Ship!!!


I lost count but I believe this is the 200 straight game Joe has had the talent advantage and somehow we barely squeak out against far worse teams.

Imagine having so much talent on your roster and coming up with these kind of games for 2 months in a row :nonono:

God forbid imagine our weak-minded coach holding his players accountable. Al has been trash for so long and yet he literally will not take him out of his spot. Is it a crime to try some of the younger players??

No matter what the coach does, you're not winning anything if you're shooting 22% from 3 and 28% overall.

Springer was in there and he missed all his open shots.

JT with 2pts. And maxey with 16. Lol. He is freaking regressing with his offense.

The players have taken a ton of blame for the last months but Mazzulla has been awful this season. Has to be said with this amount of talent in your starting 5. Even worse, they were dominant before KP even got back.

Al's been bad this season.

That's why I'm hoping Brad makes a trade to improve the bench.

Yeah and KP just hit a 3, and Bubble gum Joe yanks him out. Kp was even confised he was pulled out. What a momentum breaker.

Is it me or it looks slow compared to 2-3 years ago? He has trouble dribbling his way into the paint these days and has no burst up the court. Used to be able to get some easy baskets just off running in transition

You would think JT would have some explosive games now as one of the 5-6 best players in the league according to most but it’s been over a month and he’s looked awful

Luke Cornet may very well be the worst defensive player getting minutes in the NBA..

Sixers now in the penalty so watch the Celtics chuck more threes instead of attacking inside.

Even JT’s free throws ain’t clean jeez. He needs to change his form. Not working
