Celtics Lose Brutal Christmas Day Matchup vs. 76ers

[@joeyspatulas5272]

The defense has been really troubling lately, have been waiting for them to "turn it on". Unfortunately the fire just isn't there atm

I have been saying this, that the hot three-point shooting was masking some other issues. I knew I wasn’t just seeing things. People were saying I was jumping ship and yada yada. I was just simply pointing out how I felt and what I saw. I know this team is great when they kick it up a notch but this season just seems like they’re playing a bit different. KP has not. looked healthy. Tillman looks out of shape and does not know what to do when he catches the ball. But we have just looked at steps low this year, and the hot shooting was hiding some of the issues because the game would end in a win regardless. But the issues glare. When they lose. I’m not giving up on the team. I still believe in them. And honestly, there are reasons that they are more gas than any other team. They played deeper into the playoffs, half of the starting lineup was in the Olympics after that. They are probably tired and I think all star break is going to do wonders.

Exactly

[@mathewsousa3915]

Jack, I’m not freaking out about Sam Hauser yeah because like you said last time we have such a big sample size of him being a good player but I do think this back injury might be a lingering issue. It could be affecting his game. Or it could just be A slump

[@Daves_not_here_man_]

They really needed Jrue.

[@philliphart6327]

Midseason slump, kinda. Hopefully it will motivate them.

[@mathewsousa3915]

But I will admit, I did not watch this game, so I don’t know the specifics and I did not see how it went down. My comment is strictly based on what I had seen prior to this game. Let’s go Celtics.

[@mathewsousa3915]

Who do you think on the Celtics should guard Maxi? I feel like he gets wherever he wants on the court against us. Is it because our guards are a bit taller and longer and he is just small and fast. I know we didn’t have Drew today and I didn’t see what happened but I saw a few plays and it looked like he was creating a lot of space for himself.

[@schuylersavage276]

Not to be that guy, but in case you didn’t know it’s Jrue not Drew Holiday.

[@mathewsousa3915]

Another question, how do you guys feel about Jaylen Brown’s postop game? Do you think he is going to it a little too much? I’m not talking about this game, but I noticed he is creating a lot of turnovers lately. And in the games I have watched it’s usually in that situation. Am I wrong? I probably am I don’t know what the numbers say.

Lack of effort show up on D.

[@oreoakalaperoji8314]

Making it difficult don't mean nothing if Embiid is still scoring. He is playing with a mask and knee brace and still cooked Horford. Do yall even know how plus minus work? Embiid is getting in the game with PG who has been struggling that's the only reason his plus minus is negative.
