Time to worry about Boston?

Hayward is forcing too much just like the pacers game. Needs to chill a bit playing in front of his former team or family.

:lol:

No one on the Celtics runs the offense. That’s one of their biggest issues

There were like 10 of us saying that from the jump this year who got called haters for it.

Just watch the games and tell me otherwise.


It was obvious to see this offense was terrible as early as the first preseason game.

Right now and we have the same players as last year. Just doesn’t make sense, there’s no flow


this is what it looks like when a youth movement and a veteran core have a head on collision

This team bought into it's own hype. Getting exposed on a nightly basis on this road trip. Embarrassing effort and performance so far. And the Raptors and Bucks are just destroying everyone in their path. Brad has a lot to answer for this start this season.

Having said that I still expect a semblance of a comeback. If anything they eventually compete

I feel like I live on a different planet sometimes, lol.


I'm pretty pro-Smart but personally I still fail to understand why he continues to take shots that everyone knows he shouldn't take. Other people's limitations aren't, as a general matter, intentionally self-inflicted.

He should shoot open 3s. He shouldn't shoot contested 3s with time on the shot clock. He'd be a lot more valuable than he already is if he stopped this insanity.


Right on. There are like 7-8 rotation players who are doing worse for us this year.

No?


He's not the problem. He's Marcus being Marcus. He's the control.

Dude isn't worth an MLE-level contract going forward?

How about Hayward delivering zero for us? Is that too real to talk about?

He as an excuse other than punching picture frames for the time being


Smart has probably won 20 games for us the last couple of years.

Let me know when Hayward gets one.

Hayward is a huge liability tonight. Putrid.

I don't care what anyone says. If we swapped shots with other teams we would still be a trash offense. They flat out suck at shooting.

Tatum has a great first half and gets one touch this quarter
