Pels have the type team,   unless the threes are falling lights out can give small ball clubs fits.

Celtics have to shoot way better to beat a bigs club .   

IT was King the final moments against this situation last year.

NO will go back to being NO after tonight. A .500 team with 2 good players and a roster full of scrap heap bums

I really hate when Marcus takes those dumb shots.. even the midrange he made in OT was an idiotic shot then he follows that with a contested 3..
He almost looked like he had turned the page early this game, then he couldn't help himself. Oh well, you can't win them all and this one was well-deserved. Perhaps next time we'll try to run some sort of pro-level offense.

Oh well.  Beat Philly on Thursday and all will be right in the world again.

Also, Laurent Holtkamp should be kept as far away from a professional basketball court as possible at all times.  If only we were all as bad as she is at our respective jobs but got to keep said job, nothing productive would ever get done in this world.  One of the worst referees in the NBA and that's saying a lot.
Literally every game I've seen her officiate has been terrible..
Woah woah woah THIS IS SEXISM! 😂 can't agree with you better, poor CP3 for getting criticized but just saying the truth and tfw are gets to keep her job because she's a woman. The reverse gender discrimination is real guys.

She's not a bad referee because she's a woman.  She's a bad referee because she's a bad referee.  Has nothing to do with gender.

Back at it on Thursday.

Did we have a freaking timeout left??

We did.  I was yelling at my feed to call TO.

Yet another game Brad blows with this terrible technique. So, so, so, so dumb. For such a good coach, I don't understand how he can consistently make these bad decisions. That makes no sense whatsoever.

Sometimes it pays off if there's cross-matches in transition, but once Brad saw that Holiday picked up Irving he should have called TO.  Draw up a play.
But that doesn't matter when you need a three because no-one will be playing you to drive the ball. Call the bleeping TO and don't be too smart for your own good.

Yep. As good as Brad is at drawing up ATO plays, he should be calling it every single time this happens. It's baffling that he continues to make this mistake, especially given that it's almost always failed us. Just a bad, bad habit of Brad's that he needs to break.
I'm starting to think that being too cerebral about the game makes it difficult to him to react to it at the pace at which it unfolds. Unfortunately, in field conditions you have 5 seconds and not 5 hours to make up your mind. Oh well, take the good with the bad, I guess.

Yup. But for some reason it was important to keep Rozier and Smart in the game and play 3 on 5 on offense.

That Davis guy is good. Have we thought about trading for him? Maybe we should get a couple of ideas in the "Transactions Ideas and Rumors" section.

Smart and Rozier were not the problem. Thank You Kyrie for single-handedly dribbling away a 5 point lead. Two key possessions in regulation, Kyrie never even starts the offense, he just dribbles away the shot clock and jacks up a horrible shot. Then in overtime, he gets scored over twice on key Pelican possessions.

When will Stevens man up and start telling these guys what to do and what not to do ?

Good news is no JJ redick Thursday and going up against Embed after Davis will look like a JV match up

Pels have the type team,   unless the threes are falling lights out can give small ball clubs fits.

Celtics have to shoot way better to beat a bigs club .   

IT was King the final moments against this situation last year.

NO will go back to being NO after tonight. A .500 team with 2 good players and a roster full of scrap heap bums

3 good players, but otherwise correct.

I assume you are counting Rondo?
