I am gonna stick with them...lol. Williams was impressive today & Theis played well also.Walker: 3P; 1 of 12 terrific and FG; 5 of 21 outstanding. lot of failures from other players. Danny, do something. I am not ready to write the year off. Maybe I should give up.
brown just made 3 big FTs and you give him the ball bc hes not cold like tatum. coach is clearly declining

Sorry, I am not at the point you are at.
Chaos again when they started to lose the leadDidn't catch the game but another bad 4th quarter looking at the box score. Was it more of the same garbage iso ball not looking to get anyone open for a shot while Stevens is on the bench not taking control of his team?
Just a soft team. Soft players and a coach who can't get them in line when they start to collapse in games. The celtics badly needs a couple dogs in the locker room like Crowder, IT and Rozier were a few seasons ago because Smart is the only player who fits into that category now and the bench is mostly young players who don't help you when you need some experienceChaos again when they started to lose the lead

It's enough of a trend. We've got to stop it.
This is what Steven's said about the 4th quarter
Problem is that when the other team starts making a run, the Celtics keep shooting and missing 3s. Bad shooting is contagious for this team. Just pass the ball inside, drive it, get fouled but stop shooting the damn 3 when you keep missing while the other team is getting layups.
The thing is that this has been an issue for years and it isn't changing. The offensive approach of this team has been god awful. And I feel that way specifically about Tatum, tbh. There are many flashes of Tatum being elite when he slashes to the hoop. But yet he insists on taking turn around fade away jumpers in 1 vs 1 situations, even against smaller players. He also tends to take 3 pointers very early in the shot clock, especially after a basket against.
So who does that fall on? Is it coaching or the approach by the players. Hard to say, but I wouldn't be opposed to getting a new coaching staff in here.
I'm not a big NBA guy and don't really follow closely until the playoffs, but are things that bad this year with the Celtics? I know Kemba was hurt and they lost Tatum for a little bit with the Covid exposure, but .500 30 games in? Ouch.
Also, the Jazz have the best record in the NBA? How did that happen?
