we are about to get to that magic number of getting outrebounded by 20

Getting outrebounded by 16. But, once again, just another reminder that Danny said we didn't need another rebounder that might hurt this offense.

What's even worse is that the Raptors won tonight, too, so they'd just be two freaking games back of us now if we lose this.

This team is screwed if IT has an off night. Offense is nonexistent when he's off. Don't care what everyone says about getting a rim protector. Getting another scorer should be priority number one.

The problem is IT becomes a blackhole if his shots are not falling. Even if there is another scorer, he wouldn't get touch because IT is forcing the issue.
We don't know that. Right now, he's the only one on the team that can consistently score. They are shooting 30%. I don't rhino he has any sort of confidence in anyone else on the team to consistently score.
He needs to trust more his teammates. His selfishness could lead to this team's downfall. Like I said earlier, he needs to learn when to pass and when to take over. If his shots are not falling, play within the offense and stop forcing the issue.

Again, they are collectively shooting a shade over 30% tonight.

Bill Simmons isn't letting Danny off the hook for this deadline either.

Trade deadline guys that would have helped the Celtics bench...

Noel
Tucker
Bogdanovic
Ibaka
Gibson
Lou Williams
Ilyasova
Anyone

But, no, let's hoard all of these lesser assets so that we can field a D-League team and an international team.

honestly its as much Thomas's fault as anyone elses. Hes taken 17 shots tonight and made 3. I understand that hes earned the right to shoot through his slumps and that if we had another scorer he might not have to be as aggressive, but its tough to blame 3/17 on teammates.
He's having a bad shooting night no doubt and the past couple of games. But the rest of the team ain't helping either.

We have two other decent players smart and brown and they are barely an option either because they get pulled out or IT hogs it

Pull Isaiah.  End the streak right now.  IT has 17.

Maybe if IT get his teammates involved, they would gain rhythm. Being a blackhole ruins rhythm of the team as whole.

To be fair, it's hard to win the rebounding battle when you're shooting 33%

Well, at least Brown continues to impress.  This dude is going to be a terror in transition.

Amen. All of this MVP candidate talk has went to his head and you can tell it has in the last half dozen games or so when he's started forcing way too often.
