Just heard there are only two teams in the bubble with worse defensive rating than the C's after coming into the bubble ranked in top 4-5 teams defensively. Now we have our 1st B2B in the bubble tomorrow with no Kemba (day of rest?) vs a Nets team that just beat the Bucks. Speaking of the Bucks ... if there's a MOAR disappointing team than the Celtics, it's the Bucks ...

None of these games mean anything, really

Time to kiss this season goodbye. The Celts just don't look like they want to play. Miami ran them in circles using motion to hunt Kemba and the Celts were just to concerned about protecting him.

This is a vastly different Celtics team than pre-restart. Our defense is absolutely horrible. And we have no bench whatsoever. Our bench is so unproductive that it's laughable.
We have problems against length (like Milwaukee and Philly). We have problems against motion (like Miami). We shoot well one night but can't hit water from a boat the next night.
This team, as constructed AND PLAYING THE WAY THEY CURRENTLY ARE, is one and done in the playoffs, especially if our opponent is Philly.
It will be interesting to see which Celtics team shows up tonight.

Pop with this team would be right there in the second seed. Our offense is an enigma. Whoever is open shoots it. We have no intentions of sharing the ball but when we do, we are effective. The whole no captain thing does not help us either. Anyways, i used complacent word the other day. Thats how i see coach stevens lead this team to be like. I have seen on a few instances how tatum drives and shoots a difficult shot while Hayward is wide open. Or he passes it to smart instead of hayward. Do these two get along??? This team is as frustrating as they have been since brad came onboard. So i dont know. I have lost my faith on brad.

Either they don't care or they haven't spent enough time working together lately. Look like a bunch of people who came from different teams.

chrisjey, I cannot argue with you there. Coach Brad has a lot to do with how terrible this team looks. I don't believe he's utilizing his players to maximize their abilities. I question the abilities of several of our players as it relates to their roles on this team and that Coach's job.
I see this team struggling to get out the first round and a first round bomb out would not be a surprise.

This team is disorganized. 5 solid starters and a bunch of rookies with potential and we know that word means nothing. We dont have role players. Mess.

You guys could very well be right about a first round exit! I blame Ainge much more than Stevens, we have the worst bench in the league, it's laughable how bad they are! I do blame Brad for not playing Time Lord more. Semi and G Williams are a total waste.

If we lose in the first round, they need to consider upgrade in 5 duh but general approach which may mean brad.
Brad may be best moved to a rebuilding team or a team trying to do more with less

To be fair, Brad don't have a lot of a lot of options, other than the big 4! Tatum could average 30 points per game, Brown 25. Kemba 20 and Hayward 20, for the rest of the season and playooffs,and we still could lose, because our bench is so bad!

There needs to be defense. Right now we play like that coach princeton once had. Keeping the game close and try to finish it at the end with a clutch shot. That doesnt work. Is almost like gambling.

And brad does have players. Pop is displaying more with a lesser team.
