We never defended the 3 well. This has been my issue with Thibs defense for years. You look at the years of low 3pt percentages against us and people don't realize they missed a lot of wide open 3's. Guess what, teams are hitting them now.

Exactly...we have given up a ton of open 3s over the years...however, I will give Thibs props for adjusting in the 2nd quarter. I noticed Sims and Towns weren't playing as much drop coverage and they were trying to blitz the PNR and chase them off the 3 point line....would like to see more of this.

We are shooting 58 pct from the field. They will trade 3s for 2s against us

Thibs has always given up the 3s in favor of rim protection. Problem now is we don’t defend the 3 or have rim protection/rebounding.

Most nights we'd be in decent shape but not tonight.

Celts on pace to score 100 of their pts from 3. Not gonna beat them from the 3pt line.. but you have to defend it better.

We would literally be doing better if it was 4 on 5

For 3 quarters, it appears we have traded 5 first round picks for the worst player in NBA history.

Couldn’t she’agree more. It’s like watching prime Crawful, except he doesn’t look like there’s a snowball’s chance in hell off him dropping 50

I wonder how high up the draft we could have moved with 5 Frps to trade.

20/35 from 3.

They've hit them from super deep/contested/uncontested...If they shoot like this you aren't going to beat them.

that was supposed to change with elite defenders like OG and Mikal.

I feel for mikal. Expectations was already high and he’s also losing a few mill off his new contract with every brick.

Ok I have to give credit to the C fans... Waiting until Harts at the line to change Yankees Suck was a solid play.
