Defense falls asleep, Jazz get going. Their 3s vs our 2s. I wonder who wins.

Tatum's selfishness makes it really hard for me to like him as our "star player"

This game is a simple math problem. The Jazz are shooting 60% of their shots from 3. The Celtics are shooting 30% of their shots from 3. Theres just zero chance that we’ll win if this trend continues.

Seeing people that can shoot.. Celtics would be bricking the same shots


Celtics role players can shoot when wide open, but the offense is so ugly.

I know that clarkston's probably going to be the sixth man of year but the jazz bench is tust pissing all over the Celtics bench. 6 points for the Celtics bench which is awful.

Yeah, if Gobert goes all the way out to the 3 point line, Tatum needs to blow by him.

It’s not really extra complicated either, just make the extra pass.

Penetrate, kick, kick. 3.

Screen, go under, 3.

I like the shots we are getting when we get into the paint, Gobert has to either contest Tatum driving or try and cover Theis and it’s working.

Clarkson and Ingles are just lights out from 3 this year

Even when everyone is available Brad Stevens will play trash lineups. :x Indiana University, please take him.

Yep. I hate that he takes the easy option and goes for the 3.

You got Gobert on a switch, pull it out and drive by him.

Everybody makes their 3's against Boston. All you got to is set a pick and you got yourself a wide open one as our C drops back to the FT line.

This team is probably the worst coached team in the league.. Brad Stevens is trash.

The 2 small guard line up needs to end. We get killed defensively every time.

Calling him a mid major coach is a gross exaggeration.

We really do need someone to take all of Grant's minutes.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!
