I think the poor scoring games by some players are due to the lack of organized offense. There's no flow, so it's hit or miss if a guy gets hot or not
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Yeah no confidence vote on KAT too

Sort of exemplifies his game that he commits a semi-foul ... that the refs should let go but that was a foul ... on that Jaylen Brown flop or whatever ... a pointless play, somewhat unfair reffing, KAT being kind of dumb, and he really doesn't seem to understand that those are the rules and he has nothing to gain doing what he's doing\

Bumping a guy who's going east-west away from the paint ... in an area where he won't have any impact and where Brown isn't trying to score

He was really, really terrible. Sad, I like him and want to think he's good ... evidence says otherwise tho


He's quite literally the most unserious player out of the remaining teams out there. Like, be focused and serious.

the only thing I'm holding out on is this team does have some mental back bone...its like the need a kick in the pants to lock back in. They had a similar type let down game at home vs DET when DET was up against it.

they seem to not rise to the elimination game mode quick enough.

Brunson usually doesn't have two stinkers in a row.

We can keep making fun of him but he plays his role well ... and plays it pretty smart ... Kornet filling a small role well >>> KAT shooting himself in the foot and flunking his big role

Inability to focus might be the thing

Thats what im banking on too

And honestly we could have overcome our horrible defensive plan tonight IF thibs didnt let the game get outta control in the 3rd - sitting on timeouts and lack of subs. Just horrendous showing from him. Hate that we have to overcome his coaching sometimes.

there are some guys that can play with 4 fouls in the 3rd...KAT isn't one of them. He should have been out with Mitch and and maybe we could have locked back in defensively. It was a horrible coaching job

And our defense looked like it wasn't ready for it.

Absolute horrible showing.


Probably wasn't hard to figure out that that was the way they were going

More Deuce time would have helped, but Deuce missed plenty

We went away from Mikal ... so dumb

Kornet looked like a defensive player of the year tonight.

And you know what else they did to adjust? They got several bodies on Mitch so he can't get any offensive rebounds in the second half. Anytime he had a finger on the ball, the Celtics just had to tip it to a teammate. They negated his strength and made him less useful as well.

And then you add all of the open looks the Celtics got. They showed you that they will hunt threes over anything else, and what do we do? We let them.

He needed to do something before the lead is out of control and our star had 5 fouls.

I guess I’m flipping bc if KAT’s idea of winning a big game is to bump Brown 40 feet away and act surprised … then yeah it’s not happening

What did he do on the corner 3 … it looked like he let White block him and then clobbered White in the head lol

Did JB really get all five in the 3rd or is that hyperbole?
