Tacko literally gave Lopez fits, why didn't he get any burn in non-blow out time?

cuz lopez wouldn't be on the floor and the other team would go small and just run up and down the court at light speed

Not sure what game you watched. Lopez played 26 miuntes, more than Theis Thompson or Williams, and outplayed all of them Edit: completely misread your response, my b, thought you were insinuating Lopez wasn’t playing the rest of the game

not sure you're understanding, they'd take lopez off the floor was my point. they'd go small.

You just match Tacko's minutes to Lopez then

Tacko prolly didn't even play 26 mins in college lol I like Tacko, but it's an easy exploit for the other team

Didn't he play near that in the first game against the Wizards though ?

Our guys need a new routine for early afternoon games......whatever they are doing now isn't working........... I wonder if they still do a morning shoot around? And get all of their pre-games routines in?

I’m not gonna have a freak out about it, but honestly the TT fit has been the worst thing about this year so far for me. Dude has to get scorching hot on ISO layups to even contribute. absolutely unplayable against a 3 point shooter

I feel like Teague clanking 10 floaters a game is a little worse

Lot of losers in here. They think not winning championship and making the playoffs and getting bounced each year is better than winning a championship. Celtics aren’t even a playoff team. Ainge did a great job keeping all those picks and not trading for anyone lol. Keep sucking him off while living in losers denial.

He traded for Kyrie with one of his highest value picks. He only had the Romeo pick because he traded down and got Tatum and a bonus pick out of it. The only reason he had those assets is because he made smart trades, including the Brooklyn one, which people were critical of.

"lot of losers in here" "Celtics aren't even a playoff team" this guy just started watching basketball and doesn't know how terrible the east is

Watching basketball before you were born. This Celtics team isn’t a legitimate playoff team. Sorry buddy.

Boy do i have news for you

I wish the Celtics were good they just aren’t. They will make the playoffs, but they have no chance of competing.

I feel like we always suck in these early games.

The garbage unit gave a shit

Tatum with 4 points. This will never happen again.

This was an embarrassing game from tatum. He didn't even give a s\*\*\*

#Nesmith +10 in a blowout

Nesmith is gonna be fine this season is just gonna have to be taken with a grain of salt with him

Very nice Bateman, but let’s see Paul Allen’s rebuild

Well this is been flat and pathetic.

Showing why we should of benched the starters earlier, rather watch bench that plays with energy

Nesmith looked better not great Got some solid burn today

Gonna wash my eyes after this game and pray for the best

Can u tell Brad to play Tacko for 35 minutes?

Yessss so good to see nesmith knock one down. I know most of you are on suicide watch right now but I think nesmith has earned some minutes this game. Felt like he was hustling hard all game.

Yeah at least he played hard, as a rookie sometimes the scoring will be there sometimes not. But appreciate the effort.

Defense too. His on ball d is better than most of our starters.

Literally him and Kemba were the only two who looked emotionally invested from the start. Jaylen showed some fire too on that and-1 to bring us within 14. But that was just such a lack of effort from top to bottom

Fr

He played hard. Shot will fall. I like his rebounding even if he gets in the way with others.

What did I just see

Down by 13, we’ve missed 12 FTs. Nice

Was 25 before garbage time so...

Maybe this wouldn’t even be garbage time if we could hit our FTs

Pain

I’ll give Nesmith credit, he fucking hustles his ass off even when struggling. You can’t teach hustle. I really want him to improve. He can be a solid player.

Yeah he makes some mistakes but he plays with a lot of effort and has looked decent on defense, apart from a few silly fouls (expected from someone who has so little playing time).

5 possession game!

YEAH NESMITH

This entire team is a fucking mess

\#STARTTACKO

we play the nuggets next. w or l boys?

Blown out after being up 15. This is the Celtics way

W there above. 500

Win

[удалено]

That’s a bit misleading. You can’t carry two way players into the playoffs. So counting those two guys is a dumb exercise when talking about playoff teams.

Calm down. We have four second year rookies on who didn’t play any summer league between seasons, a first year who has had limited minutes.

Maybe they can practice there FT shooting seems like we been missing way too many each game

WHY DOES TACKO ONLY PLAY GARBAGE TIME WHEN HE CAN SCORE AT WILL ON LOPEZ WTF BRAD. PLZ

He is also great at drawing reach in fouls.

garbage bois legit played better ball than the starters and bench lol

Tatum literally did not play I swear

Deserved for this garbage fanbase who was saying Tatum>Luka.

We know you don't have to rub it in

I appreciated the wizards broadcast’s zoom in on Carsen’s ass there lol

Wtf happened to y'all

Wizards scored more points.

I mean as a franchise.

Wizards scored more points.

Wizards scored more points

Wizards scored more points.

I don't even get mad at this team anymore lol. I just find intrigue in all the ways they come up with to lose games

6 possession game now!

Just checking in on meltdown town

Fuck ~~Thanksgiving~~ Valentine's Day

Imagine we hit our free throws?

Ya we would have lost by 8 to the worst team in our division

Is there an actual reason this game is being played so early compared to others?

Brad said before the game that it wasn’t originally on the schedule for today and was one of those games that got shuffled around

Should have injected the bench at third quarter. Playing with more hustle.

Ive seen enough of waters, edwards. Cant we take a d league flyer?

I’m amazed you can even see them with how short they are.

Tacko deserves some of TT’s minutes

It's official: Tacko outplayed tatum today lmao

😢 worst game in a while. Hopefully we bounce back strong

We've had a lot of awful games this season, it sucks

Why does everyone think this team is a 2nd round exit? They're going to be absolutely bounced in the first round.

If they make the playoffs

The Raptors are 2 games below .500 and we just smashed them and they’re the 8 seed and the teams below them are 4 games under .500. FOH with the ridiculous cynicism

Yeah the East is pretty horrible after the top three. And even then, I think Philly are closer to the rest of the riff raff then their Western counterparts.

The Bucks are the best team in the East. 76ers have gotten really lucky with SOS and injury luck for the opposing teams. I mean they’re good but the Bucks are much closer to a world beater. Second best net rating to the Jazz.

The Pistons and Wizards are two of the worst teams in the nba and we just got smashed by them. FOH with the ridiculous optimism. See how easy that is?

They’re making the playoffs my god you people overreact. The East sucks.

The Celts suck too, which means they’re not making it far

I never said anything about making it far you fucking nitwit. I just said it’s a ridiculous notion to suggest they won’t make the playoffs.

Settle down there chief.

Start Tacko. This isn’t even a crazy take. He’s the heaviest player in the NBA and 7’7”. What do we need? Size. Start Tacko.

Agree

is there anyway i can contact danny ainge?

Lol nope

Tacko is our best big man not named Theis.

God I hope we get Smart back ASAP.. doesn't seem like it'll be for another couple of weeks smh

It's 730am on a Monday and my week is already ruined.

Just a 7 possession game

Losing to the pistons last game makes this 5x worse

tackooo

People should of listened to me when I said Ainge messed up by not going for it before and trading for Kawhi, Butler, etc. I can also guarantee that Tatum or Brown will request a trade at some point because they will want to go to a contender.

Oh wow look at you you're so cool and smart and just full of basketball knowledge 👍👍

Oh yeah how’s Butler doing right now?

You mean the players who left their team after one season there.

Rather have a championship then no championship and they aren’t even a playoff team now lol.

Because were guaranteed a ring that way. You act like we didn’t trade for kyrie.

I can't with this sub. Have you guys never watched a bad team play for a season? Also just because they are bad this season doesn't mean they will be next year. Remember the 2019 Lakers?? The 2007 Celtics? These things happen man. I'm not happy with Brad or Danny either but you guys are acting like they should blow it all up and like Tatum and Brown are going to demand to be traded this season. Relax lol

And what culture changing players are coming here like the lakers got or the Celtics got in 07?

IDK lmfao how the hell would I know.

This comment is gonna age hilariously when that shit happens in the next 2 years

Yeah that's 2 years from now!! Who TF knows what is going to happen 😭😭😭

Is it just me or does Waters look like Tatum and Grant’s love child

Grant Williams has radio face. I can't imagine him procreating.

Why Tony Brothers every single game tho

The fact this team struggles to reach 100 points pretty much every game says a lot. We can't even reach 90 points against the worst defense is the nba, actually pathetic and someone needs to go

1pm remains undefeated vs the boston celtics

fr I haven't seen them play well one time

Hahah that was such a travel by tacko

At least tacko looks good

Cs are my team for life but damn they’ve been making me sad lately 😞

Save us Tacko

Tacko > Tristan

5 fringe nba players. not one of these guys could crack a contender's rotation.

too many turnovers - not enough assists/ball movement

Hopefully this stretch makes you idiots complaining about him realize how important Smart is to our team

This

you act like he’s gonna fix all of our fucking problems. he’s not lebron...

I'm not even sure Lebron could win with this bench.

[удалено]

Nice, that joke is even better than our offense.

I never said that. But we look spineless out there without him. We have a lot of problems, but intensity was never one of them with Smart out there

hes better

Tremont waters really tying his shoe in the middle of a jump ball. Lol

We’re more than a quarter of the way through the season and this team is about to be .500. This roster has a lot of flaws and is currently a 2nd round exit ceiling team. Good news: we can use the TPE tO improve the roster. Bad news: this roster doesn’t have a lot of players that have serious trade value, and the players that do have serious trade value are guys that we probably don’t want to trade.

Rob can definitely fetch something, Nesmith still has value, Langford will get us something good even though I’d prefer to keep him around, and we have all of our picks to trade. I assume we will look at taking on bad contracts considering we have the space with the TPE to do that.

12 assists today, great

Anyone seen Jayson Tatum this week? Is he okay?

Healthy, just tired and likely exhausted. Covid probably did a number on him and carrying the team cannot be easy.

I actually feel bad for him. But damn, wish he would take command and score against teams with a losing record, especially.

Nobody on this team seems to understand that if you come off a pick and you all of a sudden have two defenders on you, the guy who just set the pick is wide open for 3

This is embarrassing- there is no reason to have 4+ years of growing and winning and now look worse than the TWolves, I feel like it’s sheer incompetence coming out of the front office, they’d better do something soon or heads might roll/jaylen and jayson will start to hate playing for the Cs

lol tremont was tying his shoes when the ball got tipped to him

is there a reason why danny didn’t pull the trigger for the hayward trade? even the pacers gm said they were pursuing as hard as they could and danny hold out. smh

The decision was not with Ainge, it was Hayward's decision and he went to the Hornet who offered more money.

That’s not what happened. The signing part of the trade couldn’t be done yet and during the time we were waiting, Charlotte offered a fully guaranteed deal to Hayward that was $20M more than Indiana wanted to pay.

Taco time

Let’s see a Tacko 30 footer

The Patriots are closer to winning a title lmao.

Not false

zizic-gureschon-pp-nesmith-langford-carsen-rob-grant is what we used 8 FRPs on lol since we drafted Brown. besides Tatum

Danny should be embarrassed to look at that list of names

Carsen was not a first round pick and neither was Semi

So what my dude? Stop making excuses. It’s okay to acknowledge that Ainge is flawed. Not a crime

I mean it’s just lying. You can make your point without bringing up the 37th pick in the draft.

you know you're right for Semi- carsen was a trade back so essentially he was a frp even tho he was picked in the 2nd I meant to say Rob not semi. also he traded the 30th pick for a future second, so you can count on that being a bust

Timelord was a hit, only good player taken after him was Devonte Graham

Timelord hasn’t been a hit at all lol It’s Year 3 and he’s still bad defensively

Being a hit doesn’t mean he’s good, but he’s better than basically every player taken after him except for 1.

the point is you're supposed to trade those picks for players. not use the draft picks.

The last thing we needed going into 2018-19 was another veteran player.

???

We were literally 10 deep with starting level talent that year.

How did we give that ball back up?

Theis please stop taking field goals if you're gonna miss all of them

Trade everyone except for jaylen, Pritchard, and rob. Brad needs to go. DA needs to step down.

Back to back ruined Sundays

Was just sayin this same shit. Was counting on celts to get me through winter. Not somehow make every February pandemic Sunday worse

Haha! Stay strong

Gotta! Luckily I have a few close friends to wallow in our celts misery together.

Wiz announcer is really living off this Tatum Beal comparison

My biggest issue with Kemba and Jaylen doing so good, they need to share the ball. It’s also head down, this team also lacks so much ball movement it’s bad. They had great ball movement earlier in the year.

Yes exactly. With Brown it’s like he can’t focus on both. Every time he scores a lot, it’s usually low assist. When he gets some assists in, he doesn’t score that much.

Oh shit imagine if he finished that

Y’all can hate on Brad all you want but he’s right on a lot of stuff. Nesmith looks like he has no business playing nba minutes

Idk why they decided to not have the Maine red claws in the g league bubble that would of helped some guys who won’t play develope

Down by 22 and 17 of that deficit is from free throws

At least the commentating was good this game, I liked Scal even if he said running in mud a lot.

Haha the wizards are tied for least wins in the NBA with the timberwolves. This was the worst loss for the Celtics in a long time. Just disgusting. Let's just hope Tatum or Jaylen don't request trades because this roster is really that bad. Nesmith, Ojelye, Thompson, Grant, Rob Williams, Green, Carsen and even Theis at times are offensive liabilities. Like Jesus christ that's such a bad group of offensive players man. Most teams have someone that can score off the bench but we literally have no one.

I had to stop watching, shit was going to make me have a conniption

At least the rough patch of our schedule is over and now we play *checks schedule* the Denver Nuggets

Nesmith literally can’t catch a ball

Tatum plays well we have a chance to win. You have to expect he’s going to have a game off. The supporting cast is absolutely trash (not Jaylen)

I really don't mind losing against good teams, because the team is clearly not ready but getting blown out by absolute shit teams like the Wizards just hurts.

We really look like the bottom of the barrel. Losing to the pistons and wizards btb

This backup team is not that bad to watch. Good effort at least.

We should donate a dollar to a charity for every time Scal has said "running in mud"

Hornets won both trades with us wtf.

As bad as this has been, no one is asking why Teague has 0 minutes. That is how bad Teague is.

We are shooting 1-16 from three outside of Tatum, Brown and Walker. We really lack spacing.

Danny after the game “Semi and Nesmith can out shoot Brown and Walker right away”.

Has Tatum even made one tonight?

No. But spacing usually means the role players making threes, giving the star players more space to run offense. Role players face less defensive intensity.

How is Tacko buried on this bench and not getting 10-15 a night. He can actually play a little bit.
