Not blaming anyone, but if DWhite, Pritchard, Hauser and Simons shoot a combined 4 for 17 for 24% the Celtics are not going to beat anyone. Celtics rely on those guys plus Jaylen Brown for points

Yeah. Simons is being nice, as a new player on the Team.

Agreed. Simons needs to Start over Pritchard. Have White & PP go back more to the regular roles.


Joe doesn’t like to admit when he’s wrong.

He's gotta be blind. Anyone can see that Simons is the #2 Scorer.

Let's see if Joe makes an adjustment.

Maybe tweak the starting unit for the 3rd qtr.?

Criminal Criminal Criminal Reffing....right from the start ...They're letting Houston get away with all this physicality but if Boston tries playing defense...it s a foul of course....and how wasn't that Free Throws for White at the end?

Maybe in three months with Tatum back playing they will be ready for a team like Houston, but they are not ready now, especially on the second night of a back-to-back. Let it be a learning experience.

Biggest adjustment Joe could make is have both teams change uniforms

The 3rd was total BS though.
If you want to try to measure the elements of basketball that are supposedly unmeasurable, spend a game just watching Marc Gasol.

What was with some of those camera angles on the NBC Boston broadcast? Overall, we just look tired and slow. Second night of a back to back against a fully rested team that is both bigger and more athletic that we are ...

Third quarter, we either get this down to 10 within 4 minutes or Houston blows it out to 25 within four minutes, that's my prediction...

Brown gets such a ridiculous whistle, why can’t he get the Embiid whistle?

White and Pritchard at 15 mins, and Simons at 7.

What's Wrong with this picture???

Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)
