What’s the team’s issue is the question. To me personally they just look tight. Something changed mentally with these guys after GSW. It was most evident last night. They had absolutely zero swagger and have not looked like they’re having fun in a long time. Anyway Minnesota is a team with a lot of young talent (like us) yet they’ve underperformed this season. They give up over 115 pts a game and have lost 5 of their last 10. A perfect opportunity for us to build off of last night’s second half & take care of business at home like we should. Would be a great confidence booster heading into the big Xmas Day matchup with the Bucks. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa or nothing at all, have a safe and happy holiday weekend everyone! Thanks John & Tom🙏🏻☘️💚

I’ve been thinking, Celtics lost a finals, works relentlessly in the offseason, came back more prepared than any team, but now I think the nba is leveling out so now problems are emerging, their preparations possibly just prolonged the emergence of problems. I’m now considering this point in the season as the beginning of the season. (My thoughts on a nutshell)
White is getting cooked on defense, Al age is showing, Grant keeps pump faking wide open 3s trying to show he can do more than “corner office”, Jaylen keeps ignoring his wide open shooters that literally be right next to him to take a tough mid range pull smh this team is in shambles right now…hopefully that second half team is the the team we get going forward
