Pretenders

It's like someone has a bad night shooting so the rest of them decide it's ok to suck too

Horford , Smart, Williams can not have games like this and give the team a chance.

too much reliance on Tatum, Brown, Brogdon.....rest of them need to show up (usually White does)
It has always been that way with the Celtics the past couple of years.

They are a heavy 3 point shooting team that are vulnerable if they don't shoot well from deep. I'm more concerned about Tatum than the team. Tatum was in the mvp conversation and now his name won't even be mentioned. You look at his box scores and he still looks good but i don't think he has played that well for months now. Since January 1st he's averaging 29.4/9.7/5.6 on 44/34/86 shooting but against the top 6 seeds in both conferences it's 25/10.4/5.8 on 40/29/84. Even when teams are coasting your best players still show up because they are just that good but Tatum hasn't, and he's playing bad against good teams.
Like it went to his head. I think for him that happens often. He thinks he is better than he is. His whining about not getting fouls called for him. He is emotional and we have seen what happens when he is needed to win.

I hope I am so wrong.

Watching the 2nd half on DVR.

What an embarrassment of a broadcast.

Scalabrine “You wonder who’s going to give you a spark off the bench.”

Perkins “Payton Pritchard.”

Scalabrine “He’s hurt. He’s not playing.”

……
I must be missing something. Announcers don't play the game. I do understand not being happy with someone in a big way.

I can always turn the sound off.

Go Celtics

Losing Stoudamire will impact Mazzulla and the Celtics in a negative way. Bad timing.

Best wishes, Stoudamire.

Go Celtics see if you can get back on the winning track, playing as a team, both defense and offense. You can win with offense only.

What will we get tonight against the Timberwolves?

RWIII did not get well enough to play tonight, but maybe Friday, unless he doesn't feel like playing. No I won't give up.

Go Celtics try to win

we told you it was 7-10 games minimum.... and even then until medical signs off fully, they'll be cautious w/ RW III; NOW will Pritchard return tonight or not.... it shouldn't take 4 games for a heel to be healed....

meanwhile, Maine plays Wisconsin at the same time the Celtics are in Target Center

I tried defending Marcus smart the other day, but the last two games by him have been atrocious. He’s unplayable right now

Lucky win, they sure have fallen from the best in the east never mind the NBA. 76ers on 6 game win streak.

Let's pick it up Celtics. Tatum forget MVP get back to your, before the All Star, game. Smart get your shit together. Bench you need to deliver more.

remember who holds that tiebreaker over PHI.... BOS.;

BTW, Maine beats Wisconsin 119-114 in OT; series concludes Friday;

C's now play another B2B FRI/SAT @ POR and conclude SAT against former executive/advisor Danny Ainge and former assistant Will Hardy in Utah; will Tatum repeat the 55 that he had in the All Star Game in that same arena Friday's gm is 10 pm NBCSB Saturday's is 9 pm NBCSB

reminder C's @ Blazers and Maine @ Wisconsin; within a 2 hour window tonight;

NEHBI Injury update @ POR: NO Gallinari (although there are still posts out there hinting close to return)/RW III/Pritchard; Tatum has a hip flexor and is Questionable

I think most of the offensive brains left with Stoudamire. Muzzala is mediocre at best and lousy at worst.
You may be right. I feel it was the wrong time for the Celtics to lose Stoudamire. Muzzala is learning and making costly mistakes. It would be OK if I didn't think they had a chance to win the championship. I don't think they can win it now for many reasons.
