celtics are the team that lets dysfunctional teams and players get back on track lmao. we need al and rob ASAP. was prob Luke’s worst game. And Blake is essentially useless on defense while skilled teams have figured how to score on us while we’re missing our big guys
does anyone know what happened to our 3pt shooting? at the beginning of the season it felt like we couldnt miss, now it feels like last years finals with how much were missing
Nice guy Celtics letting Leonard get his grove back
The only takeaways from this game is that Kawhi is still good and our main guys seem pretty burnt out from this West coast trip. Plus we do probably need a 3rd big since Mazzula doesn’t seem to really trust Kornet very much.
Get right game tomorrow
We not shooting like shit 3 games in a row
Grant Williams is now #1 in MVP voting
That sucked. We shot like ass from 3. With all that being said if we beat LA tomorrow it’s still a successful road trip
Tatum been selfish these 2 losses
Every time the 3 point shots aren’t hitting it feels like it’s a loss
Tough West coast trip especially still without Al and Timelord plus our shots aren’t falling. We need to right the ship the next few games.
Ugly game but I got my jersey signed by JB though! Lmfao
Got absolutely abused in the midrange and couldn’t hit open looks to save our lives.
Couple that in with some questionable calls against us when it was close and it’s a bad night.
Going to the game tomorrow and hoping for a major bounce back.
Glad we got to kick off the comeback tours of perpetually injured aging superstars whose first names start with K on this trip
Our starters are going to be so gassed tomorrow. They were kept in WAYYY to long
Team needs some toughness at the end of the day playing way too soft on both sides of the ball. Too many 3pt shots and not attacking the basket
This makes me glad I forgot about this game and didn’t watch it
It’s 1AM and I’m angry.
Let’s do it again tomorrow.
Grant and Brogdon looked pretty good, idk what to say about the rest but losing 2 games to the teams we lost to on the end of a road trip isn’t gonna lead me to make any crazy statements about the team and how far we will go. We’ve looked like the best team in the league for most of the season, yeah we’ve looked awful in the last couple but 2 games doesn’t erase the rest of the season. Still a really frustrating and shitty game
Regression to the mean. We can’t be this bad offensively 3 in a row
Kick the lakers ass tomorrow that’s all that matters
It’s time to realize that our defense sucks not cuz of “muh injuries”. We missed timelord in our 2 first playoff series this year and we were fine defensively. Our shit defense this year is 50% coaching and 50% effort.
Tough first Celtics game to go to. Glad I got to see the boys, shame it wasn’t a W though. Clippers couldn’t miss!
Tough consecutive losses! Need to bounce back tomorrow.
The Lakers have actually been solid lately. If we play remotely like we did these last 2 games we’re gonna get blown out again
Back to back 🤮
Ready to get back on track against LAL
Every time the Celtics start playing against the refs the other team’s lead doubles
Smart’s starting spot needs to start being up for question too. Last season was different as we didn’t have any replacements but Brogdon is better than him
Back to back Stormtrooper 3 points shooting against zonal defenses, and questionable defenses against ranged shooting teams. That can’t be good.
Lakers will smell blood in the water here and try to snatch another game. Team needs to sort things out soon.
Garbage effort all round put this one in the rear view mirror and move on gotta get a W tmr
At least the bucks lost. And to a much worse team than the clippers
I think this is our first time picking up 2 straight losses
Tatum needs to figure out a way to attack drop coverage. When the Bucks played drop against him in the playoffs last year, he didn’t know how to handle it. Fast forward to now, the Clippers played him in drop coverage and he still doesn’t know how to handle it. His main response has been to swing it back to another ball-handler for them to make a play, which is fine but it won’t be fine in the playoffs when he needs to put the ball in the basket for us to win. If you’re in the MVP conversation, you gotta be able to create good shots against any coverage. Look at Kawhi. It doesn’t matter how you guard him, he’ll find a way to carve out a shot that he can hit 50% of the time.
We aren’t this bad.
But we aren’t as good as we’ve been. Team still crumbled under massive defensive pressure.
This team’s biggest obstacle, is, once again, mentality.
Tatum needs to prove he cares about winning. Talking about wanting to win an MVP and being honored to be in the discussion…. And then play terribly each game since isn’t a good look.
Mazzulla is starting to feel more and more like a Don Nelson, Mike D’Antoni clone. All about offense and jacking shots and no fucks given on defense. Also with a touch of Thibs with wearing his star players out and never pulling them even in blow outs.
Love how the Warriors game could legit derail our amazing start
Klay, Kawhi and Tatum all playing at their 2017 skill level recently…
Who stole Hauser’s shot 🙁
Oof. Clippers are good as fuck with Kawhi and PG for sure but this was just not a good time. The lack of Al didn’t help. Feels like the poor shooting from this and GS won’t last forever though. We’ll get a shot at them again on the 29th, extra motivation to beat them now
Fuck that game. And fuck the Lakers even more. We’ll see how they do in less than 24 hrs. At least they have a shot to wash off the stink from this one that soon
BEAT LA
