White was wretched in this game. Played like he was on downers. Butler owned him every time down the court.Pritchard 12 minutes
White 21 minutes
I’m sure they will be. You know, here and there, at least.Spo won’t settle for the split. Better be fucking ready.
Oh he won’t? What is he going to do?Spo won’t settle for the split. Better be fucking ready.
If Tatum slips and hurts his back on the way to the locker room, then I’ll start losing sleep.Bucks said the same thing after game 1.
All the minutes to Pritchard was baffling. 12 minutes, 0-2, 1 assist.Pritchard 12 minutes
White 21 minutes
Replay of the last year. Hopefully they get it together again this year.3rd quarter was such a cluster. This team needs to get out of its own way
Kind of amazing how he has disappeared from the rotation this season.Once again, Grant’s pants shitting really hurts this team. He should in theory be super useful in this series but nope, 12 minutes for Pritchard instead.
But then they turned the reins over to Tatum and he totally shit the bed.
Although the 2 particular plays were definitely boneheaded that's kind of my point, in that they waited until Tatum needed to be perfect to even be competitive. Tatum should have more than 17 FG attempts by the 3rd quarter.Yeah, they neglected him so long he forgot how to dribble.
They’d be at 2-2.The issue for the Cs was defense and the let down from Sunday. It really isn't shocking.
Win game two, get a game down in Miami and see where you are at.

But weird that Pritch gets the benefit of the doubt but Grant, who has a decent postseason resume, can't find the floor?Kind of amazing how he has disappeared from the rotation this season.
Well, we limited them to 31!They limited us to 29 threes. This team isn’t winning shit in the paint. Have to find a way to generate open threes moving forward. I’m not worried about Miami’s shorting.
Once Tatum recovers from his lifting and is ready to play.I’m sure they will be. You know, here and there, at least.
Didn’t seem to hurt them too much in the first half. The issue in the third quarter was that they almost literally could not stop the Heat from scoring every time down the court.Although the 2 particular plays were definitely boneheaded that's kind of my point, in that they waited until Tatum needed to be perfect to even be competitive. Tatum should have more than 17 FG attempts by the 3rd quarter.
I would 100% sign up for 2-2 after 4The issue for the Cs was defense and the let down from Sunday. It really isn't shocking.
Win game two, get a game down in Miami and see where you are at.
But the Celtics will still be coached by an incompetent clown to the bitter end.I would bet my next paycheck that the Heat won’t shoot 52% from three again this series.
Agree. The Pritchard thing was odd. Not like he ever initiated offense as a PG so unsure what he was doing out there. Especially in the fourth.But weird that Pritch gets the benefit of the doubt but Grant, who has a decent postseason resume, can't find the floor?
I like Pritch more than most - but he can't be on the floor in a 3 guard lineup. You have to play Hauser or Grant there.But weird that Pritch gets the benefit of the doubt but Grant, who has a decent postseason resume, can't find the floor?
Absolutely. That’s realistically the best case scenario at this point.I would 100% sign up for 2-2 after 4
This is particularly aggravating..4-4 at home in the postseason is horrendous.
White spent a bunch of that in foul trouble, and some of those minutes were shared because Smart got dinged up.Pritchard 12 minutes
White 21 minutes
They play incredibly tight at home.This is particularly aggravating..
we were watching different games thenWhite was wretched in this game. Played like he was on downers. Butler owned him every time down the court.
Agree 100%. And the choices on rotations is actually worse than the timeout nonsense.But weird that Pritch gets the benefit of the doubt but Grant, who has a decent postseason resume, can't find the floor?
It's easier to win at home so you don't have to play as hard.This is particularly aggravating..
the little mermaid on repeat wasI don’t know what was worse, the Celtics in the third quarter, or YoutubeTV in the fourth quarter.
there is absolutely no reason to play Peyton PritchardWhite spent a bunch of that in foul trouble, and some of those minutes were shared because Smart got dinged up.
MUCH worse. The timeouts thing is basically nothing, the players playing the game actually matter and I have no clue what Mazz was thinking in that respect.Agree 100%. And the choices on rotations is actually worse than the timeout nonsense.
Same boat but it was probably better than what we would have watched from the Celtics. Sending YouTubeTv a thank you in the AM.the little mermaid on repeat was
Great!
He's played 4th quarter mins close/tight, but very rarely. Usually when Brodgin was out.Someone correct me if I’m wrong here but, when removing injuries, I don’t believe Pritchard has got playing time all year outside of garbage time? Like literally I don’t think he’s played a single important minute?
Heat made shots, bad off ball defense, Pritchard switched onto Jimmy Butler a lotI’m in Costa Rica this week and didn’t watch tonight. Someone please in one sentence tell me how we gave up 46 fucking points in one quarter.
Everything about the team’s defense in the 3rd suckedI’m in Costa Rica this week and didn’t watch tonight. Someone please in one sentence tell me how we gave up 46 fucking points in one quarter.
I see Bam was an insta-bucket, MAYBE PLAY THE GUY WHO SHUTS HIM DOWN.
At one point they had Brogdon, White, and PP all on the floor together (because Smart was hurt). That’s an abomination defensively - why not throw Grant in there at that point and see what happens, how could it be worse?White spent a bunch of that in foul trouble, and some of those minutes were shared because Smart got dinged up.
Or why not Hauser.. who is at least taller and plays competent defense?Why are we giving CJM the Benefit of the doubt for benching Grant? I personally think he could have been more useful than Prichard this game, specifically defensively.
Blew timeouts early when unneeded, did not want to go down to only two for the 4th quarter so they were not called when they were necessary to make adjustments, so adjustments were never made.I’m in Costa Rica this week and didn’t watch tonight. Someone please in one sentence tell me how we gave up 46 fucking points in one quarter.
