We feel completely outmatched rn
Kat’s getting shut down in the post by a pg lol…
Never seen KAT being guarded by a small guard and Jaden left that wide open. Would be nice to make open 3s, but remembering our last game against Boston I’m not sure it’s allowed. Also, it’s 9th year, and KAT still had no idea how to handle double teams.
kat being guarded by jrue holiday and not making anything happen is sad
Lol and fans were cmoplaining that they wouldn’t trade KAT for Brown.
Why does nobody move off ball? Then we have Jaden chucking up a bunch of dumb shots instead.
KAT is so talented and has just the worst basketball IQ
Naz Reid incoming
If we hit those open 3s, it’d be another story
KAT literally screams foul just about every time he gets the ball
Even as a KAT fan it’s fucking exhausting
I think he gets shafted with calls because it’s a “boy who cried wolf situation”
It’s just a reflex at this point for him
Once Jaden unlocks his game a la Jaylen Brown, the League is fcked.
Kat is getting fucking WORKED god damn
Man what did we ever do to Jaylen Brown
Towns needs to get way more confident in the post. He should be able to move Jrue and get an easy shot
The intensity of this game is a lot out of the bat. Hope the Wolves can calm down. It seems clear the Celtics were told to look for transition as much as possible against the Wolves.
Jadens shot has been so good (edit: through the first few games). Unfortunate night for an off night from him, because the looks have been wide open.
Also, KAT is being defended by a point guard and can’t do anything. Disgraceful.
Why do we have Gobert guarding Porzingis
Jaden should probably dial down the shot attempts
What was the $15 ticket deal? They showed it too quick for me to see
Ant is this teams whole offense
Rudy is killing us on offense. Porzingis is there on every KAT post up and Ant drive.
They need to stagger KAT and Rudy as much as possible this game or it’s gonna be a blowout early
We not gunna talk about that dunked on gobert
We need some jelly
Put in naz Reid
We’re getting really good looks from 3, gotta think they’ll start falling
It’s funny that so much attention was paid to the Dame trade this summer but it’s ended up looking like Boston has benefited the most from it.
You’d think we were already down 20 if you only read this Game Thread lol
jaylen brown need to let them struggle braids go
We need Naz to save our asses, he doesn’t play scared in big games
This Boston gameplan looks like money so far. Credit to them, this could break our already anemic offense.
PUT IN NAZ AND TAKE OUT KAT’S USELESS BODY
Celtics are playing tough defense. But you want those open 3s Jaden and KAT keep missing.
How are we looking?
NAW needs to fire the 3 there
Year 2 Towns can make that euro step layup in his sleep.
kat is not the same idk why yall gaslit yourselves about the defense
Kat masterclass tonight, ladies and gentlemen
Man, Interesting defense out of Boston against KAT. Having Jrue on him and having him get under him and swipe at the ball.
Can’t count on KAT, just put Naz in
Tough whistle already in this one
I swear the thing that would help Towns the most is a strength program
Naz Reid time
Nowhere to go but up, KAT
NAW hustle play
If a rip through is a defensive foul that should be a defensive foul as well
