This is a gritty, grinding, junkyard team. And I’m ok with that.

Crucial posession to seal the game. Your super star stands in the corner, doesn't move, and your one of two ineffecient point guards in Schroeder iso's an air ball.

That’s on Ime, he wanted Tatum in the corner to leave the rim open.

I strongly disagree with that lol, especially because Tatum was cooking in the second half.

Gutsy win. Tough road trip coming up. Celtics 12-10.

AWESOME defense on that last possession. Time Lord went from guarding the inbounder to blocking the three-pointer on the opposite side of the court. That is AWESOME.

All 3 centers looked really excited after the final stop.

Why are they playing him like this? Dude is a 30ppg assassin and is barely hitting 8 points in these games. Sit the man. Thought he did a fantastic job defensively in the 4th though.

Tatum was awesome. Team has some offensive play design coaching issues. Ime has got them to defend, I like that, but man the offense is terrible for a guy who was with Spurs, Nets and 76ers.

Rob Williams is the BEST 3 point shot blocker of all time!!

is there even a close second.

Yeah, it's nonsensical. Have Tatum bring the ball up so he touches it at least once in these clutch possessions. Those last two were unacceptable, we're fortunate Schroeder managed to score on one drive there.

I bet they foul somebody here and lose. Trash ass.

The cynic in me was disappointed they still pulled out the win, for a second. That's the kind of lack of discipline that a win can make you forget about. What is it with Boston Celtic players just doing whatever they want? Lol

yeah because he denied the hell out of embiid on that last play. they thought they got an advantage for embiid down there but brown did excellent there.

30 may be a stretch lol, but he clearly isn’t right.

His defense was freaking excellent, he’s much quicker on that end. That’s where I think the mental aspect plays into it, because defense you just react, offense is a lot more thinking.

Wrestling in the trenches with Embiid in the 4th probably didn’t help

wow. that was intense.

great D by the C's on that last play! Al with awesome swarming D on harris - i was starting to get nervous that al was gonna get called for a foul - he was playing harris so tight as harris was dribbling - but al played him literally as tight as you can without fouling - it was beautiful.

then rob challenges and blocks niang's shot without fouling.

it wasn't pretty but it was a good win.

he was wincing all game, from the first shot he took.

BostonCouchGM · Post #459 » by **BostonCouchGM** » Thu Dec 2, 2021 3:03 am

it's crazy that we can barely beat a team coached by Doc Rivers, with Embiid having his worst shooting night in memory, with them not having a true PG on their roster and being forced to play Niang. Ime is a joke. At least Tatum's shooting is rounding into shape

Dunno, but he's pretty awesome at it.
