Lol definitely not on Horford. Are we even watching the same game? Either guard not pressuring ball or help not coming soon enough. Horford getting caught in between. Not his fault.

I’m not blaming Horford. Celtics guard defense has been awful lately

He's not on Bradley's level yet.


At 21 he is a close enough approximation.


Go back and watch some of our playoff games from last year. Jay's not on that level.

Early afternoon Saturday games suck. Suck for the teams and suck for the fans. That is how I am summing this up. Happens all the time.

Offensively he’s better now. I trust him more. Does he have stuff to work on? Sure. But I like him better.

Tatum is so damn good. Just let him do some things on his own and watch magic happen.
