adjustment should be start Mitch or at least bring him in way earlier so he can play more before knicks get in the bonus.

SMH....Here we go. :nonono:


Just to jog your memory, OG, Randle and Mitch all dealt with injuries last season. That team + Donte coming off the bench would be punishing this Celtics team, not trailing by 20+ every single game and hoping for a comeback.

As much as I disliked Randle, he bullied the Celtics.

My mind is blown that we can't do a pick and pop for KAT for an open 3. Like, seriously, what is it? KAT afraid of the initial contact? Poor JB/KAT IQ? I don't **** get it.


it's the poor screens from KAT, i hate to admit.

can't see him being more willing to set screens with that hand.

He doesn’t look tough out there, but I’ll say the same about Brunson, Bridges, Hart and OG. They’re all taking it to the hole like fifth graders.

Can never have a single carry over effect to the next game ever. You would think 2 days off would help our shooting, apparently it’s worked for the Celtics.

Why aren’t we posting KAT in the low block?

Why isn’t Mitch starting every quarter to get in the bonus and keep us in games?

Why is Hart playing like trash?

Mitch should be starting with KAT. Then stagger KAT so he finishes the quarter while Mitch rests....

I'm going to save my anger for the next game, we knew they were going to respond, we need to respond in the next one. The Nuggets got absolutely destroyed in game 2, came back and won game 3. We need to have that approach for game 4, use the rest of this game to try and get the offense unstuck and build on it for the next one. These are the champs, they weren't going to lay down.

We have to speed up the game. Hopefully that throws the Celtics players off their rhythm. Also gets us more attempts to try to catch up.

It took him off the court, and put a player in the game that can't defend pick and rolls or screen plays.

Yeah, he’d really bully them now too and not fumble any balls under that type of ball pressure :lol: :crazy:

I have no idea what strategy we're doing. Like, our three point defense is non existent and our offense it's truly offensive. Running isos all game long doesn't work.

No energy. No urgency. Just disappointing.

I feel like everything just resets every game. One game we move the ball, the next it's an iso fest. Don't get me started on D.

How often is Tatum confused for his twin brother in the State Farm commercial? Or vice-versa?
