We just have no pride in our defense anymore. The dramatic shift from the last two years to this year is just astonishing.

Really astonishing.  I think we underrate Sullinger's contribution to that.

Yes, he rebounded and took charges well.

Unlike Ko, who looks like a bull fighter on defense.

Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

Avery is just too small to play the defensive role that Brad has him playing.

I'd  be interested to know how many trips in a row the Hornets scored up until the miss by Batum.   Ridiculous.  Embarrassing.

This team has absolutely no heart anymore. Their defense is just p----poor, and they don't care enough to fix it.

I'm so ready for the next iteration of this Celtics team. This particular team has just worn me down all season long. This isn't the same team that we've come to love over the past couple of seasons. This is an entitled, lazy team that thinks they can out-talent and out-shoot teams without playing defense.

KO is first or second on the team in charges drawn...
I'm bitter.

My God, Batum is absolutely powning Bradley right now.

Bradley's giving up like 6 inches, Brown should be on him.

I blame the team being switch-happy

I cringed every time Cleveland ran the 1/5 pick and roll and Kelly switched to Lebron.

Yeah, Jaylen Brown guarding Batum would have to be better...

Can't wait for the draft. This team is just embarrassing. No heart, no pride.
