Haven't we struggled with 3pt offense for years?
Edit: I meant struggled with containing the 3pt offense of other teams.

Might be some bad mojo haunting the franchise, who knows at this point

We have, this year has been especially awful though.

Exactly what I was gonna say! It's been the worse it's ever been in the Thibs era. Last year the intensity & rotations were much better & the effort was clearly better

IHart not coming back crippled the team. Simply put. 
The fact that we don't have him and Mitch at the same time is why they struggle against Cleveland this go around.

I'm also starting to think Donte was the better & more consistent defender than Bridges tooIHart not coming back crippled the team. Simply put.

Yeah, he has more dawg in him for sure.
Yall gotta chill with the doom & gloom. It was 1 weekend, 2 bad losses. We still have the 5th best record in the league, and firmly in 3rd place in the east.
Yall gotta remember this is a marathon to win a championship. Look at how long it took for Boston to get over the hump. It took Denver & Milwaukee multiple seasons before winning. We're on schedule, we'll be alright.

It's not just this weekend bro. It's HOW we're losing & how bad & inconsistent the defense has been since the season started. We played the same way opening night just like Sunday, rinse & repeat
We all put it towards new players & gelling but at this point in the season, that shipped should've been corrected or at least be moving in the right direction. Bridges is still wildly inconsistent & his defense has been bad & KAT's defense & effort has been sub par.
Those are legitimate concerns bro & not doom & gloom
It's the Celtics

Start mitch with towns. He needs help up front.
josh and og can also start for defense
Bring bridges off the bench with Deuce and Precious
What we doing now wont work against the real teams we need to switch it up

Yeah, it's easy to forget that this team made massive roster changes in the offseason and this is Year One for this core of players. They've been together for half a season, and the FO hasn't had any real flexibility to fix the problems that they see...plus they haven't even seen the roster at full health yet.
The losses are frustrating, there are clear needs on the roster, but the time is on the FO's side. They have two All-NBA players, everyone but Bridges is signed through next season, and they still have some youth and picks to throw around if needed.
So, all of that is to say, I don't think this is a finished product. They'll probably work around the margins to try and get the depth we need and fix the defensive holes before locking Bridges in. Even if that setup flops, any decent GM can rework a roster when they've got All-NBA talent. They can flip those guys for talent or a rebuild; or they can keep those guys as reliable foundations to build around. Third in the East, tied for top-five in the league...and it's year one.
Mitch is now a game time decision and he will be the starter moving forward
We sure Donte didn’t look good BECAUSE he had Mitch and IHart behind him? Let’s see what an unleashed Mikal and OG look like first when they know they have a demon protecting the rim.
