Al Horford aged and Grant is not ready for the big time. Horford is losing every rebound battle and allowing so many drives in the lane. Grant is useless if his 3 pointers aren't falling, and is a below average defender

Bench both of them and start Timelord and Kabingele. This team is losing mostly from easy drives to the rim, next to nothing in paint points outside of Tatum and Brown, and no rebounding

Too many loose balls went the Pacers way tonight, Mazzulla gotta start his best 5 Available next Game.

Brogdon could’ve started tonight instead of Pritchard.

Horford isn't a starting NBA big man anymore, and Grant is not a starting NBA big man

The unsustainable 3's that were made in the beginning of the season masked all of that

Timelord was one of the main reasons for that comeback in the game. Very active on the boards, a block threat, and prevented drives to the rim

I didn’t watch, I turned it on at the start of the 2nd quarter, saw the score and turned it off.

Why the hell did Pritchard start? Is Mazzulla still refusing to play Horford & Time Lord together?

Also Derrick White has been a complete liability on the court for the past two-three weeks.

We were never going to sustain the greatest offense ever but we’re also not this bad of an offense either. shyt is rough but I have to have faith we’ll weather the storm

Pritchard looked like the 11th man on the rotation last night, he could’ve started Brogdon and have Pritchard come off the bench to play Vs their 2nd unit. Team came out flat with no energy and had some careless turnovers, defensively they were sleepwalking on the court with Timelord playing limited minutes teams still eating in the paint. Jaylen Brown needs to cut down on the damn turnovers(20 in the past 4 games) and Jayson Tatum needs to attack the basket like he did last night. Grant Williams turns into the most annoying player when he’s not scoring and Derrick White lost all his confidence.

Jaylen’s tunnel vision and constant traveling is extremely concerning for sure

Stevens was extremely wise to not give in to Grant’s contract demands, if some team wants to come in and give him $18-20 mil a year they can have him. Good role player but I’m not convinced you’re winning a title with him playing 25+ minutes a night.

I think we need to go back to last year’s starting lineup and dial back White & Grant’s minutes.
