12/29 - Celtics @ Pacers

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Grant just can't get any traction

 

[Sprowl]

Grant is getting embarrassed.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Brutal 5 point swing.

 

[128]

Theis misses a layup at one end. Three-point play for Warren at the other.

So it goes this season.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Jaylen, hit your free throws!

 

[TripleOT]

SabonisLooks like one of the marionettes from the movie team America world police

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Once again Brad going early in the second half to a player that played 0 first-half minutes.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Is TimeLord hurt?

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Is TimeLord hurt?

Was wondering the same thing.

 

[osori]

Theis is brutal today.

 

[Imbricus]

Ah, the third-quarter meltdown ... as predictable as the swallows at Capistrano.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Theis is basically a net -10 in the last three possessions. Fucking brutal.

 

[TripleOT]

Another garbage third-quarter against the Pacers. It gets frustrating when the Celtics make the same mistakes against the same team in the same building in a two day period

 

[boxosII]

the Celtics need a vaccine for their 3rd quarter play

 

[Jeff Frye's Face Mask]

I’d kill for like 5 straight possessions of solid defense by the Cs.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

On both sides of the ball, they just feel slow.

 

[mikeot]

Down with what Perk said about Timelord.

 

[BillMuellerFanClub]

I’m not putting Brad on the hot seat exactly, but what the fuck are these rotations? Why is the team playing completely uninspired ball again? Feels bad, man.

 

[FelixMantilla]

Gawd does this team suck right now.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

They don’t have enough good players right now. Like when a manager has to keep cycling through relievers until he finds one who can get outs, they rotate through Green/Semi/Grant with really no rhyme or reason in totally unclear rotations/roles.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Just brutal. Brad is lost.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

What just happened?

 

[slamminsammya]

teague cant make shit and theis cant stop anybody around the rim

 

[Jeff Frye's Face Mask]

This is infuriating

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

They literally don’t have an offense. If you want to get on the coaching for anything, it should be that. There are no sets, no nothing.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Nuclear level meltdown

 

[128]

Grant is getting embarrassed.

Boston is getting embarrassed.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Warren is a very good bad shot maker.

 

[128]

Scary to think that Nesmith can't contribute anything.

 

[shawnrbu]

No wonder Danny wanted multiple good players from the Pacers.

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

Scary to think that Nesmith can't contribute anything.

Hard to imagine his defense being worse than what we're seeing.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

10 minutes into the second half and the guy who had 16 points and 4 steals on Sunday finally gets on the court for the first time in the half.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

This is looking like a coaching problem.

 

[slamminsammya]

Scary to think that Nesmith can't contribute anything.

I heard he isn't in game shape since he couldnt do any conditioning after his foot injury. It might be because he just sucks

 

[Nator]

Their free throw shooting isn't doing them any favors.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Pritchard->TimeLord is the best offense of the night.

 

[slamminsammya]

I think the Theis + Thompson and Pritchard + Teague pairings are abominations that should not occur on a basketball court in 2020. They don't make a lot of sense.

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

Good minutes from Timelord on both ends.

 

[Sprowl]

Time Lord is one of the few who looks like they want the minutes.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

This is looking like a coaching problem.

I don’t really know what to make of the fact that Brad’s best coaching job was arguably the Thomas/Bradley/Smart/Crowder team.

They have better players now but have lost a lot of the scrap that defined that roster.

 

[osori]

Pritchard and Timelord makes this ugly game enjoyable.

 

[The Mort Report]

They literally don’t have an offense. If you want to get on the coaching for anything, it should be that. There are no sets, no nothing.

They are on pace to score only 2 points less than their average last year when they were 12th in points. It's never going to be pretty with second units, its a lot of ups and downs. The D is the issue, plus they are just flat out making all their shots

 

[Cesar Crespo]

This team needs Kemba and maybe even another player who can create his own offense.

 

[The Mort Report]

Scary to think that Nesmith can't contribute anything.

so is he the C's Stidham?

 

[benhogan]

Pritchard should start and I don't care if that makes me sound bias

 

[luqin]

Danny got a steal with Pritchard

 

[BillMuellerFanClub]

The lineups with Jaylen and Tatum need Pritchard running point. That’s it.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

PAYTON... SWEETNESS!

 

[BigSoxFan]

Look at that grit!

 

[slamminsammya]

I agree, Brad should start pritchard and leave thompson or theis on the bench.
