We're terrible coming out of timeouts.

You have to admit Vuc doesn't leave the basket

I don’t like Vuc as much as anyone but Cliff tells him to hang back.

A tradition like no other: Kemba Walker raping the Magic.

Annoying being able to hear so many Celtic cheers in the crowd. It’s always like this. Ugh

Vuc doesn't leave the basket on defense.

A lot of rushed shots, bad decisions and complacency on D to finish the half.

Celtics turned up the intensity and Walker is hot. Have to respond in the 2nd

Kemba has always had our number. He always torches us.

This is a carbon copy of the last game. We can't defend the pick n' roll. They're just shooting off the screen and nailing 3's.

Fultz has to do a better job of staying in front of Kemba. He's not really offering much resistance at all and he's dying on those screens. He kind of had a rough half. Had some really bad live ball turnovers.

I feel like we're the only team in the NBA that has half the arena cheering for the opposing team anytime we play northern teams and yes it's annoying

Well they've given up like 30 points because it's 2 on 1 at the 3 pt line. Even Hayward got a Theis screen on that last shot and Vuc was there to take the ball out of the net.

I doubt Cliff makes him do that, he's been doing it for 7 years

you shouldn't doubt it....it's the scheme anyone whos played at any level would know in this scheme that's what the big is supposed to do, if you look bamba does the same thing....it's the scheme man, no need to see something that's not really there

I laughed out loud at that last shot attempt.

This has been the story for a long time when it comes to good point guards who are good at shooting off the dribble. No real play being run, just casually waltz around the screen and fire in the open 3. At some point you have to change the gameplan on pick and rolls, but we've been standing firm and waiting on guys like him and Lillard to "cool off" for like 5 years. Any day now, I'm sure.

Besides the C's run towards the end of the half it's been a good game. Nice seeing MCW playing well and Birch, anytime they get a stat either a reb or some points they're outplaying my expectations lol

No Bamba guards the 3 pt line. It's not a scheme to not guard your man. Vuc wants to boost his rebounding stats.

Haven't really posted in the past couple of games as I'm still dealing with the death of my grandpa. I have been watching the games still and since Evan has come back into the lineup, we have relied on him far too much to be a play maker. Our ball movement is nowhere near the level it was at when we beat the Lakers last week. Not even surprised Boston made a comeback as we always get complacent when we get a big lead. Our effort and execution has been inconsistent all season. Personally ready for some wholesale changes to this roster.

Another really dumb pass by Fultz to start the 2nd half.
