They keep doubling our guys and we can't adjust. Wow 3 missed dunks in a quarter!

Awful two plays from Brown. Goes one on one despite terrible spacing and then loses his guy in transition. On the Korver block someone didn’t clear their guy It was Tatum. He sort of just lingers there instead of clearing the block. |

I think their youth finally caught up to them.

Death, taxes, and LeBron getting bailed out by the refs on his bad shots

Brown hasn’t made his shots, but he’s at least getting to the rim.
Smart or Horford can’t be LeBron’s primary defender. If they don’t trust Tatum to defend LeBron in this lineup, they shouldn’t be playing it.

Celts close to 11, and then they inexplicably forget to defend Korver on back to back 3. Absolutely putrid defense the past two games.

Rookie foul by Tatum there if I ever saw one. He was terrible on a previous Korver 3 as well, did he seriously think Korver would DRIVE on him?

Tatum’s defense has been pretty bad. He’s making bad rotations (leaving Korver for Smith when Rozier is already closing out) and getting caught on picks.

Jaylen’s having s nice game despite all tjthe missed bunnies. I know Thompson guards Horford well and is paying him disproportionate attention, but would like to see Al look for his shot more often. Run a Horford/Morris pick and roll and work the switch.

You can't keep switching Rozier onto LeBron, Thompson and Love. He just has no chance. Need to fix that.

You really have to question Stevens for not adjusting to that same exact play.

I disagree. LeBron has made shots on Rozier, but they’ve been mostly fadeaway twos. I’ll take that all day.

Tatum can’t be slow in transition because he’s complaining about calls. He just can’t. I can take mistakes. I can’t take lack of effort.

Pathetic way to end the half. I know I say this a lot, but I really really hope Stevens is doing the Singletary special and showing guys his ass during this break.

Smart has been the worst player on the floor for the second consecutive game. Against a team as good offensively as this one, you take semi-open long twos all day. Smart has gotten a couple hustle steals and a few great passes. He’s been fine. |

I 100% disagree, maybe for some players, but not LeBron. That's his go to shot, and he has no fear that Rozier can even come close to blocking his shot. It's like he basically taking wide open shots even though Rozier is doing everything he can. |

He could get that shot against Morris any time he wants, too. |

Are you really arguing that you like Rozier guarding LeBron? |

It’s not ideal, but it’s not the worst thing in the world, either. Better that than give LeBron a driving lane. |

Terrible call on Morris. That’s a no-call at worst.

You CAN NOT convince me that was a foul by Morris.
