Played very well for most of the 2nd half. Need more consistency.

I just noticed that Rob wasn't even active with Daniel back tonight.

It’s not Kyrie’s fault he can’t trust Horford at all, nor Brown or Hayward. Only Tatum helped.

That is what happens when the coach keeps you on the bench too long.

Brown's been really bad so far. He's too much like Jeff Green for my liking. Al really looks a lot worse than last year. At least JT got his game rolling, only for Brad to put the kabosh on him.

I'd like to see a little out-of-character anger from Brad one of these days. This team's offense is a total ****.

Average would have had us win atleast 2. This team needs to figure it out soon before we end up playing TOR in the first round of the playoffs.

No they didn't. Blazers scored every single time the Celtics got the lead down to 2.

His shot selection was awful in crunch time.

I get that Brad messes with rotation early in the season. But at what point do we make a change to the starting 5? I think Brown and Hayward should be coming off the bench. Mook and Baynes should start. I don't think Tatum can stay with many SGs...but Al needs help down low badly

Not going to win when three of your starters have horrible games. Stevens doesn't seem to care how good or bad these guys are playing, he's going to stick with his starters to close out. So we have to hope that Jaylen and Al plays out of their slump, and Hayward gets back to gameshape very soon.

We had at least 2 wide open shots down 2.

Well we played good teams outside of PHX. An average team probably goes 1-4 on that trip.

Him taking a contested 18 footer is infinitely better than watching Hayward, Brown, or Horford shoot at this point.

The over reactions good and bad are always fun to read. So inconsistent. Awful for the first half and a lot better in the second half. When this team turns it on, moves the ball it is so much better. They dominated Jazz and Blazers in their building for stretches before they go back to bad basketball. They just don't play complete games and we have too many guys trying to figure out their role. Hayward isn't there yet but I see enough good from him to feel like once he figures it out he will be a guy we can count on. Jaylen Brown is the one I think is lost the most. Tatum has looked better the last 2 games, and needs to keep that attack mode. IMO I would move Smart to the lineup and start him at the 2. Either send Brown or Hayward to the bench.

Well...another loss. But everyone got their touches and minutes that’s what’s important.
