Everyone except Tatum and Rob should be embarrassed.

If they played regular minutes and the sample size wasn't come in late in games or Not even play, I would agree. If anyone on this site ever play any reasonable ball, they would understand this.

Not when only one player in the rotation can shoot the ball and create offense

Yeah, not playing PP and Nesmith really hurt their confidence after a promising rookie year for both of them.

Now there's just too much pressure for them to produce in such limited time.

I get what you're saying.

“If only we had a healthy Jaylen Brown”

Starting to sound like Hayward with this stuff. If he is isn’t healthy the rest of the way then it’s time to move on. Losing valuable games here and having to climb up just to get a crap playoff seed and go home early is not good enough at all.

just look how long 5 mins are. should have given it til the 3m mark and see if we could scrape off 5.

At least Pritchard and Nesmith made the score a bit more respectable.

Wow, PP and Nesmith actually playing some minutes getting loose..

Ballers and shooters need to get loose..

Yup. You can't expect a guy who's been riding bench to step in and hit shots consistently especially for young guys.

This Horton Tucker dude thinks he’s some hot ****. Scrub shooting at the end there instead of taking the clock down

It’s just life for young players who aren’t stars though. Minutes are inconsistent, and you need to contribute in ways besides shooting. They don’t really do that, at least not yet.

Everyone knows I’m a big Nesmith fan, but he HAS to hit his wide open looks. We signed Schroder, we traded for Richardson, there’s just not consistent minutes for PP, Nesmith, and even Romeo. I love Richardson, I’d be perfectly content without Schroder, but he’s here, so it is what it is.

Smart was the reason why we lost in the first 4 minutes of the 3rd quarter. We went from down 5 to down 15 because of Smart's bricks, bad shots and turnovers in that stretch.

Smart and Horford hurt us tonight. Along with Ime.

Wasn’t so much a statement about Smart, more that Ime was pulling the starters with 5+ minutes left. Yeah the game was likely over, but that’s a lot of time, and Tatum was cooking in the 4th.

Just didn’t sit right with me.

It's Ime's fault we have 4 non shooters on the court. It effects everyone badly.
Also, Al shouldn't be playing so many minutes.
