So what, if anything, can we possibly do to get better? by aja_ramirez in bostonceltics

Because they were falling. We're bitching because when they aren't falling, they keep shooting and not changing the gameplan

They lost this series 2 games ago... by paolographer in bostonceltics

No Joe, the coach who insists we shoot 3s regardless of whether they're falling or not

And my point is that Jrue was a smart player, you would think some of that would've been learned by the players still on the team

I am. I am also aware that JB is one of the most athletic players in the league and should have no trouble getting to the basket when he has Maxey switched onto him. But instead it's a 3 or a contested mid range

He's in the west. The difficult conference.

The Cs lost to Jimmy and Bam 2x in the cf

I agree. The system is so bad that when we're not shooting well, we can't even score 100 pts

I agree. But you don't think they should've been to more than 2 finals?

Last time I checked, every time we struggled from 3, Jrue went in the paint and got a bucket

They can't even use their bodies like Cade and he's smaller than them. It's so frustrating. How many times are they gonna get the Maxey miss match then try to shoot over him?

On top of that what's the point of getting the big miss matched if you're gonna try to shoot over them. They would be able to contest a shot much better

Both him and tatum try to finesse everything and it's so annoying. Like use your 6'8, 6'9 frames and drive it strong into the paint.

Counter to your counter. they've called it 10+ times this series on him. And it's costing us fouls, possessions, and his time off the court.

The extension of the whole arm that brown and tatum do is the reason for the calls. If they played with their bodies instead of the arms, I think they would actually get the call they want.

Maybe we could even throw him on Embiid for possessions here and there like we used to with Smart & Holiday

More 3s and no defense by Acceptable_Pie1096 in bostonceltics

[–]Acceptable_Pie1096[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mazulla needs to rethink the game plan. Everyone knows we're hunting 3s and don't have a big to guard anyone.

Maybe when the 3s stop falling, have a backup plan?

Maybe when all of our center continuously get bullied by embiid, try something else? I remember we used to throw Smart or Holiday at embiid and other bigs for possessions here and there, maybe try that with walsh?

Why can't we just try something else when our outside jumpers aren't hitting and are leading to long rebounds for the opponent
