Grifting at its finest. This is what Miami and Philly do.

Tatum was awful in the first half.
And Marcus shot too much.

And ball handling was ridiculously careless.
And 3 point D was terrible.

They need to come out composed and take care of business.

Play like the Super Star you are, JT.

We really need this.

That wasn't a talented team's offense out there in the first half.

Far too sloppy with ball control. If we didn't have the talent then fine... but you have to hope Tatum can do that against a good team. If not then we need to find someone who can help fill that role for him in the off season

(he's still a superstar either way but just like Butler can't shoot the 3 everyone has their strength and weaknesses. But that's not the level of offensive control we've seen during the hot streak and he needs to turn it around and stop **** whining like a little ***** out there begging for calls).

Fatass Lowry having a throwback game today. Celtics very sloppy on both ends

I should note on both offense and defense we have to grade on a curve here.

We don't have Rob to finish plays on defense and we're playing great defense that he would finish off the play for us

and on offense Tatum and Smart don't have that verticality spacing that Rob helps on drives so much and gives you a bail out pass to get a high quality shot

It's really hurting us reaching a level that we're used to reaching without that thread on defense and offense and having Grant out there instead with Horford

Smart forgetting his role.

Can someone guard this POS?

Gurton Buster · Post #291 » by **Gurton Buster** » Thu Mar 31, 2022 1:05 am

Our pressure on three point shooters and off switches is HORRIBLE.

Post #292 » by **darrendaye** » Thu Mar 31, 2022 1:05 am

Refs don't believe anyone is strong enough to bump Smart out of bounds apparently.

Maybe Tatum will get his head screwed on straight and actually assert himself on offense.....

Box score watching now . When they are ready to win, and play better, they will .

As I was saying..

Celtics are going nowhere if Smart shoots this many 3's thinking he has to be the 3rd scoring option. He's left wide open for a reason.

Post #297 » by **Feed Your Head** » Thu Mar 31, 2022 1:07 am

Smart 4 turnovers, Tatum 3, Jaylen 2.

Take better care of the ball, or we will lose.

Deivork · Post #298 » by **Deivork** » Thu Mar 31, 2022 1:07 am

This Celtics team really feeds off its defense man, so as it lacks today we struggle on O as well. We're just no crisp nor aggresive

PierceFan4ever · Post #299 » by **PierceFan4ever** » Thu Mar 31, 2022 1:07 am

Bam sets picks their three point shooter get good looks. Grant specifically doing a poor job getting closer to the defender. Twice now Lowry drilled a three on him to start the quarter

Go back into hiding.

And when you come back have a better attitude.

Yeah I think it's fair to be upset with Tatum on that play lol

He was being a "knucklehead" in the voice of old school Charles Barkley
