3/13 Celtics @ Rockets

[joe dokes]

Perk unaware of the injury report. He just talks about stuff, regardless of what's ... happening.

Tonight on cable access channel 73....

I guess Tatums method is "if I can't shoot for the whole 1st half, I'll start to drive "

 

[128]

Do the Rockets have a center?

 

[Deathofthebambino]

WTF Tatum, another entire possession where he just waits and waits until he gets his step back 3 for no fucking reason.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Tatum drives and scores effortlessly three times in a row then … jacks up a three.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Imagine passing the ball.

Perk on Perc.

Could Kornet actually protect the rim less than it's being protected now?

EDIT: And he's in!

 

[ifmanis5]

Do the Rockets have a center?

Sengun, not playing tonight.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

How deep in the dog house is Muscala that he cant get run over Blake and Kornet?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Do the Rockets have a center?

Boban!

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Perk on Perc.

Joe’s listening

 

[128]

It's hard to overstate how bad the C's defense has been tonite.

 

[128]

How deep in the dog house is Muscala that he cant get run over Blake and Kornet?

The C's one move at the deadline, and he's buried on the bench.

 

[joe dokes]

Joe’s listening

Like everyone, he tired of Perk.

 

[Helmet Head]

Brogdon is even pretending to play defense.

 

[128]

C's can be thankful that Houston's possessions at the end of the second and third quarters were dreadful.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Somehow they won the quarter.

 

[joe dokes]

Somehow they won the quarter.

The Houstons are not very good.

 

[kfoss99]

Welp, guess I'm going to watch the fourth quarter of this stupid game.

 

[Helmet Head]

Mind you, I think the defense is the main issue tonight. That said, I feel like the Celtics, and specifically Tatum, can get that to rim whenever they want. When the 3s aren’t falling they have to be more aggressive on that front.

 

[benhogan]

great, going back to the ISO crap

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Just coming in late, that free throw disparity sure is something.

 

[joe dokes]

Just coming in late, that free throw disparity sure is something.

It is something far down the list of tonight's Celtic shortcomings.

 

[djbayko]

Alive

 

[bigq]

That’s a low jabari.

High draft picks tho.

That kid can dance.

 

[joe dokes]

Horfords gonna come out of the rejuvenation chamber with about 7 minutes left and drain some 3s.

 

[128]

Is Horford hurt?

 

[128]

This is some incredible 3-point defense by Boston.

 

[joe dokes]

Is Horford hurt?

Just restin'

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

12-39 from three is so bad, considering the quality of the threes. Just so many wide open clangs.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Holy fuck have these guys seen a pick and pop before. Embarrassing defensive possessions out of the TO.

 

[Helmet Head]

Is anyone going to challenge the 3 point line at all. These are nba players. You can’t just give them wide open shots.

 

[128]

Holy fuck have these guys seen a pick and pop before. Embarrassing defensive possessions out of the TO.

I miss the C's defense under Ime.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Clannnnng.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Man I am over Marcus right now.

 

[bosockboy]

This is really happening.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Marcus takes about 80% of our shots off an offensive rebound, it’s uncanny.

 

[soxin6]

Marcus Smart is not reliable on offense and this team's defense is not good right now

 

[kfoss99]

Hey, they played hard for a two minute stretch. What more can we ask for?

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

Past two seasons real mirror images huh

 

[dhellers]

Man I am over Marcus right now.

I am a big time Smart fan, but he has not been useful after returning from his last injury. It could be a real problem.

 

[benhogan]

at some point, before the playoffs, Joe is going to have to make some tough decisions with the closing unit

 

[ifmanis5]

Non only is Marcus bricking bad shots, where are the assists?

 

[Coachster]

This is embarrassing

 

[timelysarcasm]

The Rockets have won 15 games. Fifteen. Come on.

 

[Stu Nahan]

Get Smart out of the game

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

I am a big time Smart fan, but he has not been useful after returning from his last injury. It could be a real problem.

He has been playing like an asshole. He was not playing like this earlier in the year.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

This is bumming me out

 

[Mooch]

When was the last time the Celtics had more free throw attempts than their opponent? Seriously, it’s been a long time.

 

[Helmet Head]

When was the last time the Celtics had more free throw attempts than their opponent? Seriously, it’s been a long time.

It’s because the jack up 3s all game and aren’t nearly as aggressive as they should be.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Brad might know basketball GM-ing, but I'm not sure he knows what makes a winning NBA coach.
