3/28 - @ Hawks

[Jed Zeppelin]

The Hawks have been perpetually annoying despite being the exact same level of mediocre for the last 15 years.

 

[slamminsammya]

The awful rebounding tonight---that is the one thing I worry about big-picture from this. I do think that's a gap when it matters, or at least a potential gap

in a calmer moment I will remind myself they are I think 6th in the league in defensive rebounding

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Rebounding just isn’t cutting it. But a bit of that is bad luck.

 

[patinorange]

Murray missed that one so badly I don’t think there was much White could do. He had his man boxed.

That one was shit luck. But yea, the rebounding has been crap all night.

 

[slamminsammya]

interesting choice to foul there

 

[The Mort Report]

FFS WHY is that the play?

 

[128]

Larry Bird, he's not, when it comes to last-second shot.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Embarrassing

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Another completely shitty play and bad look at the end. And Jaylen never really in the play.

Not good.

 

[Obscure Name]

Just like they drew it up.

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Great shot.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Tatum Iso for 24 seconds failing time after time after time.

Coach needs a new plan.

 

[Foxy42]

FFS will these guys ever change

 

[Euclis20]

Why bother calling timeout if you aren't going to set anything up?

 

[ifmanis5]

Again awful at the end of games. So fucking bad.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Such a dumb foul by ATL but we said no thanks.

Huge fail not to put in our closer PP.

 

[The Mort Report]

Seriously, someone needs to ask Joe postgame what that play was accomplishing

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

I think JB deserves a crack at the Paul Pierce end of game fadeaway. Tatum isn’t good at it.

 

[stp130]

So predictable.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

ISO is fine but ffs set a screen do SOMETHING.

 

[ifmanis5]

Seriously, someone needs to ask Joe postgame what that play was accomplishing

There was a play?

 

[teddykgb]

He just isn’t a good enough dribbler to create a great shot consistently in that situation. There’s no shame in that they just need to find different ways

 

[PedroKsBambino]

They are so predictable on the tatum ISO I kind of wonder if this is all a setup for a playoff game where they run that same play and Jrue or someone comes backdoor uncovered for a layup because everyone expects the ball to go outside to Tatum

 

[mikeford]

Honestly the level of shots we get off at the end of halves is so excruciatingly bad. This is 100% on the coach. Diagram a fucking play and diagnose a way to get an actual fucking shot. This shit is even worse than the LOL PIERCE ISO era because at least Pierce sometimes made the shot.

 

[benhogan]

whats up with that acid trip video

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Why can't the run pick and roll with KP? Why can't they run some people off screens to get them moving toward the basket. Even if Iso Tatum is the plan, I think you can still create some decisions for the defense.

 

[slamminsammya]

they had pretty good execution the last 3 minutes I thought but shit luck on that offensive rebound and then that last play is oy

 

[Ed Hillel]

Jaylen was wide open

 

[TrapperAB]

I’m stunned, STUNNED, that the goal of both end of game plays was a Tatum iso. Didn’t see that coming at all. Such creativity.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Literally use Pritchard he won’t wilt.

 

[SteveF]

It's the same shit over and over.

 

[Ale Xander]

OT?
Wtf
They need to rest

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

ISO is fine but ffs set a screen do SOMETHING.

Celtics have improved from worst in the league at screen assist to fourth worst, so there is that.

 

[benhogan]

the entire league knows Tatum wants the winning shot

 

[Ed Hillel]

Ffs

 

[ObstructedView]

At least there won’t be any tight late-game situations in the playoffs.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Tatum's -10 in this game, JB +9. That doesn't happen often.

 

[BaseballJones]

Possible to use Tatum as a decoy at the end of a game? The other team knows it's going to be him and only him, and it's not like he makes many of those.

 

[mikeford]

the entire league knows Tatum wants the winning shot

yeah, and the answer should be "no one cares what you want, move the ball"

 

[Ed Hillel]

the entire league knows Tatum wants the winning shot

This is on Joe. Is Joe afraid to say something?

 

[Auger34]

I haven’t watched a second of this game.

I look at the box score and it tells me Tatum has been unnecessarily the big dog and Brown hasn’t got the touches. Am I right?

 

[The Mort Report]

I never drink early, did this afternoon, was going to chill though this game to watch the first 3 innings of the RS game before turning it off because baseball doesn't do it for me anymore. I might ruin that plan with whiskey to how annoying this game is

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

They aren't going to change. It's time for the acceptance phase.

 

[TrapperAB]

Am I going to regret getting tickets to BOS-OKC for next Wednesday?

is it on the coach? they did the same shit with I'me and brad with Tatum.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

KP - don't switch that!

 

[BaseballJones]

When they move the ball they score relatively easily. Why can't they just keep doing that at an end-game situation?

 

[The Mort Report]

There was a play?

Ugh fair

 

[Ed Hillel]

is it on the coach? they did the same shit with I'me and brad with Tatum.

Yes, it is. They are all afraid to tell him.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Possible to use Tatum as a decoy at the end of a game? The other team knows it's going to be him and only him, and it's not like he makes many of those.

Yes, but they aren’t going to show that in a meaningless game.

 

[slamminsammya]

Yes, it is. They are all afraid to tell him.

I'me udoka famously afraid to stand up to his players
