That was bad though man. Geez

He looks like a liability out there tonight..

Boston can cheat off everyone. You cannot cheat of anyone on the Celtics.

He wasn't getting guarded like that also playing a jv team.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Boston:   49 FG attempts . . . 34 3FG attempts ( 15 makes )

 

I used to play NCAA Basketball '06, just like how the Celtics are playing.

Won a National Title with Austin Peay, by running, shooting 3s, and half court trapping.

Yes he's liability when they shut him down, just leave Wallace in we were keeping up.with him in

[NBASupes]

They shoot the 3 so f***ing well and we don't

Trae and Zacch:  3 - 17 FG . . . ( 1 - 10 from 3 )

If they were both shooting 50%, we'd still be down by 10.

I was expecting more defense this season… I was wrong … we are bad

[ShayD]

For Boston you need more athleticism to guard them, because 1 screen and the the open player is always shooting the 3. If you don't close out fast enough it's over. With Trae it's harder to guard this team.

 Trae should just stay home on any 2nd night of b2b games. Everytime in these games he either gives absolutely 0 effort which cripples the defense, Or is way off with his shooting and playmaking which cripples the offense.. Or sometimes it’s both which we’ve got tonight.

3 ptrs

15-34 Celtics

4-20 Hawks

+ 33 points 

Trae 0-6

[NBASupes]

They weren't even trying to guard CC or OO outside of lobs. I see why NY went all out for KAT. You can't beat Boston without a respectable center. Risacher has to make his open 3s. That would have kept the game at least within 15 points. No matter what, this team is so much better than us. They can defend the paint and perimeter exceptionally well. OKC and Boston are playing like my Hawks squad on 2k. 

We are years away from shooting like that and we got some work to do. We need Daniels to shoot better. Trae to shoot better. Risacher to shoot much better. JJ to shoot better and we need a center and he needs to shoot them 3s too.

Yep, with trae in general he really needs to play on a team of giants in the NBA imo. Doubt the league will allow that though, we are def bigger with Zach and Dyson out there they just aren't the offensive players Celtics have so many 2 way guys it's hard, will be glad when they tear that shit down

[NBASupes]

This game just tells us the stats are right. The Hawks just can't defend the 3pt line. This is one of those things Hunter does very well so p please come back Dre.

They just shoot over Trae. No matter how good his defense is. He's short and doesn't have long arms

[NBASupes]

Remember when we had shooters like Kevin. Sadly he couldn't defend. 

Boston and OKC won't be able to afford this team in a couple of years anyway. Let's just enjoy it while we can.

They're shooting over everybody.

Dyson was in Tatum's grill 3 times, and he still made the shot.
