Game Thread – Mavericks @ Celtics – 7:30PM, Thurs, Feb. 6, 2025

[ConstableGeneva]

Double bigs now -16 for the game.

Are we doing it today or only when it works? Lolol

Except it’s worked for most of the season.

When everyone plays like crap, it doesnt matter if you have one big or five on the floor. It’s not the bigs who keep turning the ball over or don’t keep their man in front of them.

[Ben-N1ce]

I wish I was smarter and bet against the Celtics against short handed teams. Easy money.

[GrandTheftRondo]

Defence is garbage but I stand by that this sort of **** happens as well because our star player in Jayson Tatum refuses to exert himself on games.

SGA, Giannis, Jokic etc come out and punch teams in the mouth with their play early in games.

Sometimes I wonder WTF Tatum is waiting for?

[redslastlaugh]

Whoa JB just threw that thing in the hoop, lol
What a make!

This is why it’s hard to take him seriously as an MVP candidate. Those three barely takes days off. Just game to game consistency is not in Tatum’s dictionary.

Man, worst Luke Kornet game all season
Luke just getting cooked out there on D and then dropping balls for TOVs on O

[WeLikeOurGuys]

The Luke lineups have been awful

Exactly. The different in perimeter defence in this game vs how we defended Cleveland is night and day.

How can people not see that

[ThePigeon]

JT getting no respect from the refs
Nothing

[Lee Van Cleef]

From a defensive point of view, this is the worst Celtics game in years.

[MrGreenRunsDeep]

Kornet playing like a bum! Give mins to Quetta who is a better player

He never used to be like this.

He’s had the unselfish stuff drilled far too much in his head.

[Bill Lumbergh]

Tatum should have just stayed home today.

[3pt %]

With this team, its a predictable loss. Short handed opponent after statement win? This team doesn't get up for that.

All will be forgiven if we go back to back but its still frustrating to watch.

[Riverwalk2021]

Can we cut Hauser?

[exculpatory]

Awful
Awful
Awful

The problem is they do this **** in the playoffs too and make series far more competitive than they should be.

We don’t win the easy games with ease and then make the harder games a lot tougher.

It could well bite us in the ass like it did in 2023.

[ConstableGeneva]

Double bigs getting blamed for scrub play from their top two players.

[BRUNiNHO91]

They attacked Kornet on every play.

Hauser is cooked..

[ThePigeon]

Boooooooooo
No life
No pride

Kyrie will win in Boston for the fist time since disrespecting the logo
