Boston is such a chucktastic team. They've become the ultimate live by the 3, die by the 3 team. Evident by their chucking at the end of the GS game they lost after dumb 3 after dumb 3 to end regulation.

I'm too sick to care we are losing lol. Don't worry guys Celtics will go 15% chucking 40 3's in the 2nd half. Worse than the Harden Rockets and why I have no faith they will win at all.

To repeat, 4th game in 5 1/2 days and of course it's a matinee, which we are terrible at. I'd rather be the visiting team staying in a hotel a few blocks or miles away than driving in from home at 9 or 10 AM.

They're just not there today. Not making excuses but these are the facts. They're human beings too.


All true & we’re on pace to lose by 30+
Would rather have Kobe shoot than Russ.
Mann lookin like Ben Simmons avoiding a shot.
Lazy or zero effort to rebound or loose balls.

Harden isn’t playing well either. Missing easy shots in the paint. Just seems off. Like his mind is on Christmas dinner

Harden flat out sucks today. Mann has regressed. Westbrick. PG sucks on defense. They look like one of the worst rebounding teams in the NBA. Severely overpaid roster

If Kawhi is out on Tuesday we need to see some different players get a look. Mann, Russ, and Coffey are like 2-30 combined, if that.

Was unable to watch the game but the fact they gave up 145 to a team without Porzingis is a little concerning. I get no Kawhi but...geez.

PG had a game off during the road trip being sick and was fresher than everyone else. It's not a coincidence he was the only one that was ready to play. This was the 4th game in 6 nights. Ridiculous schedule and the guys are dead tired. They need a break and rest. They're not superhuman

We also hit a VERY hot team that just smoked the Kings [not a bad team this year] by 25. They also hadn't played since Wednesday [the tweet below got the day wrong].

One of the few games I actually go to and this happens. Very very unhappy. Seeing Mann out there is extremely frustrating and angering. Just a very bad effort.

Obviously want Kawhi to return ASAP, but I am kind of curious what this team looks like without him, only after a few days of rest and against an opponent we absolutely should beat, like Charlotte. After that it gets dicey, with not a lot of weak opposition for the entire month of January, but at least there won't be any B2Bs until the end of it.

The previous Grizzlies loss was probably our second worst of the season (still think the one to the DeAndre Reggie Nuggets tops it), and now they look a whole lot better, so we'd better not lay another egg at home.

And please tell me I'm not the only one that looked up when we play Detroit (Feb 3rd on the road, Feb 10th at home) and really hopes their losing streak ends by then.

As i sad after last game. Mann is a huge disappointment for me with his lack of development. The player who he become doesn't deserve the recognition he has. I would love him as a energy guy subbing in from bench for like 15 minutes but we Have Russ for that role and Russ brings more to the table than Mann.

Right know I would play Kobe over Mann. He at least shoots and rebounds, investment worthy for regular season minutes on december.

It's not Mann' fault that we lost this game, they shoot really well and defend way better than us. Plus Tatum looked a reaallly long step ahead of our "star players" with his presence. But such games are good examples of who is a good swimmer in the ocean and who is an excellent swimmer in a lake of great weather.

Woff.

This graphic below not only claims PG13 are no longer a star player but also a statpadder. Maybe time to trade him for...

I cant stand PG and his game. But we are stuck with him. They wont trade him. The only way it works, is if Ty can get into his head and turn him into a 3 and D monster. Get more effort out of him. Basically turn him into Chris Bosh. I dont think its in PGs nature to give 100 percent. He will always over dribble. The blocked shot of PG by Derrick White was peak PG. He dribbled too much, attempted a slow terrible shot without looking for a teammate at a point where we were getting beat bad. Then got hyper aggressive, and fouled White giving Boston free throws.
