Just 3, but a few more if you count ill-advised shots as turnovers.

My guess would be 3. But seems like more.

Nope. I count some of those shots. It was like 10 lol.

Brown is elite when Tatum sits

Trash when Tatum plays.

Gross

Celtics offense continues to make mistakes when they are about to go up double digits.

JB's worst half in ages....
Still some good things to take away... especially Sam 2-3 3PTA and +9
KP 13pts in 13 min...
JB, if it's the knee, gotta be a catch and shoot moreso than dribble drive for 2nd half

Whatever here, we are at halftime on the road with the lead, but with our dreaded, third quarter just up ahead.

Momentum went downhill when JB forced a shot and missed. White turned it over the next possession. They kept scoring.

Celtics up by 5.
Celtics missed 4 fewer FTs.
So very even game otherwise.

What has Udoka actually accomplished? His teams have yet to win anything notable in the playoffs and right now the Rockets are trending towards losing a series to a bunch of senior citizens minus injured Jimmy Butler.

JB taking 11 shots while white only has 4 is so dumb. I have no problem if brown was cooking and he had 11 shots but he’s forcing bs today and it’s killing us.

That’s not the knee. He’s forcing it. Would he go stronger for dunks? Sure. That’s not the problem, it’s just going head down trying to beat the Magic defense and doing horrible at it.

Add he’s looking for fouls he is never going to get!!! Get over it and focus!!

Trade him this summer chip or not.

His horrendous first half was not about his knee or finger.

Same **** over & over & over.

When he plays to his strengths which certainly can be significant- he is an asset.
When he drives 1 on 5, becomes a ball stopper, kills mo, reverts to a TOV machine - he adds another player to the opposition.

Banchero is a Super Star for the next 10 years.
Wagner is very good.
Get him his third foul.

I watched so many years where the Celtics winning a playoff series was a pipe dream.
Now, we're grumpy if this is going to take 5 and we're not dominating.
IDC, this can go 6, just no significant injuries and I'm good with it.

Jaylen gonna get traded this off season....maybe at halftime.

Not bad. I was expecting a tough, grind it out game. I’ll take the lead. Jaylen needs to get it together. Nice to see Hauser play well. Pritchard getting picked on and is afraid to shoot at the rim. Nice to see Porzingis making some shots. I like our chances in the second half.

I was only screaming about it for 6 years.

I think the point here is that Smartwasn't timid when it came to contact. Most of these Celtics are.

I don't recall smart being that guy. I recall him thinking he was that guy though.

k

All those names and you just got fixated on Smart lmao. Setshot nailed it your just in your feelings on Smaht. My point is this team is soft as fk and doesn’t have an enforcer. Three ball is being taken away by the Magic and their doing a great job on making us play an ugly game. Need to up the intensity!

Where exactly did you think that rockets team was gonna finish before the season?

Let's not lie and pretend like you had them as the number 2 in a loaded Western conference.

Dude can coach and took a **** ass team with Marcus Smart as his point guard to within 2 games of a championship.

Is anyone actually arguing that he isn't leagues and miles ahead of Joe?

JB losing the ball at the FT Line like he was a toddler on the inbounds was ludicrous.
