I think the problem was more than Kyrie was trying to pass it too much sometimes and he forced bad passes.
He forced bad passes and when he didn’t he was doubled if not tripled.
No Hayward was showing itself like crazy tonight.
Jaylen is for real though.

So Smart is doubtful for tonight
I'm guessing the starting 5 is Kyrie/Jaylen/Tatum/Horford/Baynes?
We're gonna get smashed

Happy Birthday, Coach Stevens!
Rest in Peace. Once a Celtics player, always a Celtics player.
“Right now there’s no deal we’re doing right this second,” Ainge said. “It’s next man up, opportunities for the guys that [were not] going to get these opportunities all of a sudden play with no Marcus Morris and no Gordon Hayward. That’s 65 minutes a game right there. Until we find a deal that we like, we’ll do all we can to be patient.”
Ainge said this is just the latest setback he has had to manage during his nearly 40 years in professional sports.
“Injuries and bad breaks are just part of sports and we all have to deal with it,” Ainge said. “Nobody is going to feel sorry for us and we can’t feel sorry for ourselves. We all feel bad for Gordon because Gordon is the one who has to get surgery and go through months and months of rehab and that’s hard, that’s really, really hard. That’s where our thoughts are. The rest of us will be fine.”

Seems like we may have a 2009 KG situation on our hands. Glad to see that Ainge hasn't punted away this season.

Larkin gonna be a lowkey steal pickup
Can't front...wasn't happy with the pick-up but he's won me over and he's obviously got a place on this team (scoring) in light of our recent injury.
Since the start of preseason, he has shown signs of improvement. His ball handling skill has always been a staple of his game and this year he's refined his craft -- eliminating turnovers and finishing at the rim.
In the past, Rozier never had trouble blowing past his defenders, it was when he would miss contested layups or lose control of the ball that often drove Celtics fans crazy. This new and improved Rozier is in position to lead the second unit, and relieve Irving and Smart on a game-to-game basis.

Debuting against James and the defending Eastern Conference champs, for a team with conference title aspirations of their own, is not an easy task. Mix in a devastating injury to Gordon Hayward, which noticeably shook the team for much of their first contest, and that debut for Tatum was anything but ordinary.
The rookie shook off those early jitters and put together a solid debut in the season-opening loss to the Cavaliers, dropping 14 points and 10 rebounds. Tatum followed that up the next night in the Celtics’ home opener with eight points and nine rebounds in a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, and poured in 15 points to go with eight rebounds in Boston’s first win of the season Friday night in Philadelphia.
What stands out more than his points or rebounds is Tatum’s minutes played. He’s averaged 35 minutes per game, second only to Kyrie Irving’s 38 minutes, a workload that isn’t usually given (or earned) by a teenager still grasping life as an NBA player. But with Hayward’s devastating injury hitting the Celtics just five minutes into their season, Brad Stevens has had no choice but to send his young forward out to learn on the fly.

But let Coli "experts" tell it, Tatum is robotic as hell and a draft bust
