Perhaps not?  :angel:

especially when JT/JB are both so efficient and playing so well...

That's why I told people to put the razors away  :angel:

(At least till the next loss  :police: )

Ah the roller coaster life of a fan  ;D

If we have more of these types of games than the other type, we should hopefully be ok come playoff time ;)

Just stay healthy. We gotta stay healthy... There's just too much weapons in our guards and wings. Our medical staff will be crucial in winning banner 18.  ;)

Without that thread, today Rozier would be an end of bench player, just trying to hang on in the NBA.

James Young…oh man, I had such high hopes for that guy. A quick google shows that he’s now playing in the Greek League.

He really had it all. Athleticism, skill, was very young, had good size. Just one of those guys

How can the same team that looked the way they did in the loss in WAS, then 2 days later look like they did in the win in MIL?   This Celtics teams is unique in that regard.  I know all teams in all eras have ups and downs but this is the most manic team that I remember.

Those that follow my posts closely [  ;) ] know that I have been pretty steady in believing this is a good team.  You have to look past a lot of the game to game noise or variation and consider this team as a whole or in aggregate.  And compare that to all the other teams (all of which have some problems too).

I still worry about teams with size.  Porzingis killed us.  CLE has been tough.  But of course MIL has plenty of size and we aren't having any problem with them.  We are good enough to beat anyone, teams with size or any other team, but the team still has to do it.  Show the mental toughness to stop with the lazy games, the bad losses.

It is too late for any more wake up calls.  Either they have woken up or they haven't.  It is go time.

To me the hallmark of the C's for the last 13 years or so has always been playing up and playing down to teams - in many ways this is what makes me sure I'm watching the Celtics  ;D
Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time.

But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.

Nope, unless you are a Bucks fan.  :laugh:

Things could certainly be worse…

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

I'm not panicking in terms of this series.  But, I've got some doubts moving forward.

The team can win a series against any team remaining.  It can also lose a series.

Why do you keep trying to justify what the Celtics just did by what’s happening in the bucks series?

Bucks in 7.
Celtics in 7.
Long term Celtics have no chance
