Need to execute on both ends. NO MORE TURNOVERS!

Every basket is a struggle... what are we even doing on offense? Where are the cuts, the backdoors and the staggered screens??? What is this trash offense?

Your right. Celtics have played a horrible game.

It’s doesn’t matter now. A 5 minute game. Whoever executes from this point is the winner

Stevens needs to run 2 man with Kemba and Brown. Those are the guys right now.

We really don’t deserve to win this game, but this team has found its way back to even.

5 and change left in the game. Grow a sack and close it the hell out!

Two teams so evenly matched there is no excuse to lose a quarter by 20. Good lord if you lost it by 15 you would be up 5 right now. Just not acceptable..

They'll disappear as soon as the game is over. I've been on this forum for 17 years and it's like clockwork

We did the same to the heat in game 1 tho.

I do think they're fatigued. This is just adrenaline carrying them.

Was Brad's game plan all along to look braindead in the third and then sneakily come to life and breathe fire in the 4th?

We're very discombobulated on offense. The only way we're gonna win this is through massive effort on defense and just gutting it out with tough baskets.

Wrong quarter.

He's watching on a thirty minute tape delay probably. nobody spoil the ending for him.

I see it as a matchup problem

Stevens watch the tape and came to the conclusion Rob William's defense is SO HORRIBLE he can't afford to play him.

But we don't have another atheltic big who can stick to Bam so he can't get a lob off a pick and roll and recover to actually challenge say a Dragic layup.

Grant made the right play as the adjustment but he simply doesn't have the body to ever actually have any effect on defense for Dragic's layup in that situation.

So it's either a Dragic open layup or Bam open dunk. Same thing with Theis.

I don't think this defense is on our guys, this defense is on us not having an option to go to match up with Bam.

And well it's on Rob Williams again for just not being someone Stevens even feels he can trust in the game in positions where he should be able to.

I won't at all be upset if we draft another Center or pick up a vet like Ibaka or Baynes in free agency this off season that's for sure.

TimeLord has not earned his time in 2 years it's on him.

I don't recall us beating them by 20 in a quarter.
