The score is 98-85 and the Celtics can't put the game away? I get there are runs, but it seems it happens every game where the C's vanish in the last minutes of a game.
I think the C's vanish in late game scenarios because they don't have a PG. As we saw White is cranking with this offense. He's earning minutes because they don't have a PG who can dribble up the ball at the top of the key.
This PG issue keeps coming up IMO and at the end of the game it shows. Smart turning over the ball late, having a 5-4 assist to turnover ratio, but it's bigger then that. They needs someone to dribble out the ball so Tatum/Brown can get open, cut and maneuver.

From memory I believe you are the guy who said the Celtics with Smart at point guard 'ain't it'? Celtics are in the NBA Finals with Smart as point guard.
We all predicted the East was going to be a dogfight and it was. The Celtics had a tough road. They are still standing
