    Jock is suffering from a complete lack of confidence.

    The offence has overtaken the defence now. Players can mostly all shoot. Even under pressure, they hit threes.

    A hustle player who no longer hustles.

    A stretch big who can no longer shoot.

    A tough defender who plays soft as pudding.

    I wonder if he’s on the way out? At the very least he’s no longer in the rotation

    Jock Landale made 3 3pts attempt. He might see himself as Ray Allen-reborn.

    Of course he made none of them.

    There is only positive thing about Landale is his contract just one year

    Ime Udoka better improve the team defense.

    Without defense, this team is NOTHING

    Everything worked too god darn well in the beginning.

    Mental fatigue play a much bigger role than physical fatigue.....

    Both fatigues.

    Ime Udoka is better to improve himself also. He has shown that Boston made a good decision to terminate his contract, nothing lost.

    I expected him to fight little bit. You might lose to Boston by 8 but not by 32.
    The guy has no fighting sprit.

    Closed Captioning on the post game is completely useless. They’ve got to be able to do better than this.

    Not sure what the gameplan is to defend a team that's stepping into 3s like that.

    Masterclass by the Celtics. Goodness gracious.

    Elite guards will always exploit and expose big like Sengun. We saw harden do it here for years

    jokic winning the championship last year was fools gold and too me it would be foolish for teams to start trying to build teams using the jokic archetype. The nuggets beat the suns, lakers, heat, and wolves… none of those teams have dominant/elite pick and roll guards. So in a sense the nuggets lucked out

    harden at age 34 this year well past his prime has beaten the rockets with Sengun, the kings with Sabonis(2x) and the nuggets with jokic.
