The way to beat this Celtics team is this: double Tatum, pack the paint and force the rest to shoot/create for themselves. lol

Someone on Ime's staff needs to speak up about the double big lineup. Enough sample size to say it ain't working. Our best offensive games have come when either Horford or Timelord is unavailable.

Nesmith shoots 26% from 3, and can't defend. If he wants to play more minutes he has to be better.

This third quarter is making it an easy decision for me to go to bed.

This team just isn't worth staying up for.

No he wouldn't. Brad lost this team last year. We had like 5 minute scoring droubts every 3-4 games and had 2nd half collapsed routinely. Brad's coaching did nothing to save that.

You don't remember this?

Hey let's tey the guy that hit 25 three's in like 60 seconda last game.. Or Nesmith who is quick, long, athletic.

But nahhhh.. Let's just watch Smart try and be Dame Lillard while Tatum gets tripled.

Not going to get it done.

Brad Stevens needs to add vet shooting to this team otherwise why bother. They will hover around the .500 level all year

This game is over. We can't get crap on offense. Team looks checked out. Smart shot them out of the game.

Anyone who throws out small sample sizes is basketball clueless I guess I guess Dame Bradley bill luka doncic none of those guys are shooters, **** even Jason Tatum is only shooting 31% sent you based it on scouting not stupid small sample sizes
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Nice to see Rondo being the head cheerleader for the Lakers while getting no minutes
