Calling Tom Thibodeau

I'm sure there was a letdown after the all-star break.

And I know KG is not back at full strength.

But come on.

The Celtics went from holding teams under 89 points per game to allowing Denver and Golden State average close to 122 points over the last two games.

The Celtics went from holding teams to under 42% from the field to allowing Denver and Golden State to average better than 45% over the last two games.

The Celtics have also been outrebounded 94-84 in those two games.

Tom, your well-oiled machine is in need of a tune-up.

We know you successfully implemented this defense out West with Houston. So it must work against up-tempo offenses, too.

You need to figure this out.

It's time to earn your paycheck.
