Why is this team not playing like a Brad Stevens-coached team? I feel like I'm in some crappy twilight zone.

Blazers missing open 3s is the only thing keep
us in the game.

This is just disheartening, chemistry issues or not, lay up after lay up, sucks watching.

If either of these teams could hit an open shot this would be a 20-30 pt blowout one way or the other.

I feel like Portland should be up by much more than the score reflects. The Celtics have been that bad.

Frozen?? Everytime he has the ball, he drives and kicks it across court to the opposite corner. The defense knows this and is sitting on it.

Like we needed confirmation you have no idea what is going on


You’re welcome. Hope you’re taking notes.

Horrendous D to end the quarter. Still in this, but our offense needs to heat up. 16% from 3, no free throws, struggling to score while the Blazers take it to the hoop and grab the offensive boards. Luckily, the Blazers are not shooting all that well from 3 either.

The AD trade just killed team chemistry along with Kyrie's brilliant leadership abilities. No one plays for each other it's clear as day.

Or instead of that realize the players composition on this team sucks and it's incredibly untalented.

Also that Irving is Carmelo Anthony with better handles as a player and you can never win with him as your best player.

Stevens has made a career of making chicken soup out of chicken ****, a team not running his offense lead by Irving is not on him.

I'm still of the opinion that we can get our **** together and get deep into the playoffs, but I gotta admit - it gets harder to believe that whenever I see games like the past 2 nights.

Good lord. 15-0 on 2nd chance points hurts.
