@StoolGreenie Right and you can maybe play Tatum at the 5 for some of the time, but cant hide it all game or all series.

As we prep for the playoffs I think P&R defense is climbing higher and higher on my concern list Playoffs things slow down, and it becomes a chess match of "prove you can stop this". If you can't, you're in trouble

@StoolGreenie I’m afraid this is going to be what kills us - teams are going to spam this w/ all our bigs in P&R all playoffs

On the season, the Celtics rank in just the 17th percentile defending the roll man in P&R Notable playoff teams' offensive P&R Roll Man ranking: SA - 100th percentile (duh) DEN - 96th percentile (duh) DET - 93rd percentile CHA - 89th percentile NYK - 82nd percentile TOR - 75th percentile OKC - 51st percentile ORL - 44th percentile

@John_Karalis Feels like a preview of how they get attacked with all their bigs in the playoffs

This has been a very tough 4th quarter for Queta defensively

@ESPNInsights @John_Karalis 9 for the record - lfg

If Derrick White gets two blocks over the Celtics final three games, he will become the second player 6'5" or shorter to have 100 blocks in an NBA season since the stat became official during the 1973-74 season 👏 If White breaks the century mark, he'll be the only player in NBA history with 200 3-PT FG and 100 blocks in the same season 😤

@StoolGreenie Let him work himself back in garbage time - he’s killing us every time out

Want to give Vuc some grace coming back but I need much better minutes if you're in the rotation knowing it's costing me the Garzilla

@CacheThatCheque Shark bite?

This is a masterpiece

@StoolGreenie Tatums locking in

Celts down 98-90 I wish I could see what's happening

@BillSimmons Going to beat Kobe’s 81

If you did a 60-Point Game draft in September, Bam would not have been one of the first 50 picks.

@BillSimmons Pistons about to lose 4 in a row?

Uh oh here come the Heat back from the dead again

@StoolGreenie Looks a bit lost, Garza would give better minutes

These Vuc misses aren't just tough becaues they're misses, they're leading to breaks that end up in points

@KeithSmithNBA That makes sense - its just that we all act like its these teams having random big nights against us, but it seems to be trend of us getting beat on the dribble and then over helping in rotation.

@NateW It's hard, because the prevailing belief is that there is only so much you can do to influence the shooting percentage on threes. But for a decade Boston was great at it. I wrote about it a long time ago. Feels like that's all come back around in a big way now.

Water is maybe finding its level. The Bulls have missed their last four threes after starting 20-for-36 from deep.

@StoolGreenie Isnt 24-12 and 26-13 on a 40/20 pace?

At 23-12, Celts now just need to get to 26-12 to be back on a 40/20 pace Next 3 all at home (DEN/TOR/SA)

@KeithSmithNBA Feels like we’ve been paying for that missed call on the first play for the rest of the game

If I was like most of the people in my mentions during basketball, I would say something like "The NFL clearly doesn't want the division to be clinched this early and the fix is in." But I'm better than that...maybe.

@StoolGreenie 30 pts in the half so far

Can't even make FTs. Insane brickfest after halftime

@KeithSmithNBA I don’t understand how scheierman is our best option to cover Cade

Celtics are closing with Jordan Walsh at the five and Walsh is making plays. Baylor Scheierman also out there alongside the usual closers of Jaylen Brown, Derrick White and Payton Pritchard.

@StoolGreenie he looks exhausted?

Nightmare Derrick game

@StoolGreenie Ugly game

@KeithSmithNBA They’ll be hard pressed to get another win this season

Getting worked by UConn is a low point for BC football. This is embarrassing.

@TheCousinSal Probably the titans ?

Belichick leaves UNC this week to coach the Titans. Who says no?
