Also White has not played well in the last 3 games
He is a non factor here

Jaylen had 14 points in the first on 6/7 shooting. Since then he's played 18 minutes and taken 1 shot (also 4 fta's). Not sure what's up with that, but the c's offense was not good in the third quarter. The ball movement has stalled out.

This is good stuff.

Games like this makes the Cs tougher.

They just need to close it out.

I don’t want the best player for the other team missing anymore games. This team already has issues focusing

Too damn dumb to win this game.

OK Jaylen...remember back in elementary school ball? When there's three on you, somebody's open. Do you know how to pass?

Horford and White still the only C's with significantly negative +/- numbers. Watch them play most of the 4th now.

Smart went from a great series to invisble since the 1st quarter and slowed down nobody on D

In 7 games this postseason, Brown has 21 assists and 25 turnovers. He's been very good overall, but lack of playmaking limits his value.

Tatum and Brogdon willing the Celtics to victory... unfortunately
Horford, White and Smart are nearly unplayable. Meanwhile,
Jalen has his moments of offensive lucidity, and at other times,
is back to watering the houseplants.

No Embiid. We're at home, this is not encouraging. Still think we'll pull this one out, though, but, man, they really need to tighten up the D. To be fair, it was better the last few minutes.

Jaylen has played well on defense. He has 4 TO but so does Smart. One guy has 18 pts while the other has 2.
