Celtics (20-13) at Rockets (18-15) Game #34 12/27/18

[CF033]

looks like we better be ready to win on the road this year in playoffs.

Let's just hope we're clicking by the playoffs. Right now we're lucky to make it past the second round. Last win was exciting but realistically we barely clawed our way past Philly at home.

34 games in and we still have a LONG way to go. Team chemistry still isn't there. We're only beating the bottom of the NBA convincingly.

They really need to learn that Harden will milk the slightest contact while shooting a 3 and not touch him at all it’s happened at least twice in this game

[tstorey_97]

Why is Hayward in the game? For offense? He doesn't shoot.

[apc]

Let me fall down after I shoot a 3 and get a foul...

And again
I hate Harden on almost Lebron level

[Chef Parish]

What the Celtics need to do after this loss...is to have a private team meeting to right the ship.

[JSD]

Harden must have incriminating pictures of every NBA Ref

What a joke!!!

[CelticSooner]

Why is Hayward in the game? For offense? He doesn't shoot.

Because they can’t send him to the G league.

Lol just terrible all around play.

When Smart is out there, nobody else should be guarding Harden. It's not that freaking difficult, Brad. I don't understand how you just cannot figure out how to best contain Harden - stop freaking switching everything and keep Smart on Harden. You have a ton of statistics that show how effective he is guarding Harden.

Not a fun game tonight bad play by many Celtics and some real crap refs.... It was not fantastic....

idk we may never get it

we are inconsistent
that wont cut it in playoffs

we looked good fior 8 games then back to mediocrity

we play smart at times and stupid for so much of the time

i am really out of answers the frustartion is unprecendented when we have this type of talent

Honestly I'm not sure the Celts are gonna be a top three seed, at this rate. It doesn't feel as though theyre gonna become some different team, at this rate. They're good but not great.

Only thing that would change that is a trade or somebody making a leap, e.g. jaylen or Hayward. I don't believe either of those things is happening.

They could maybe still upset somebody in the playoffs though.

I refuse to believe Hayward is going to be playing like this come march and april

but I may be a homer...

I think by April we will see a much better Hayward. He has thrown down at least 2 alley oops in the last couple of games, which I find extremely positive. As he gets to see his performance is starting to get better, I think a confident Hayward will be a much different player.

True, but he should've been in the G League the first several months of the season. I don't care about the "optics" of that move, but he would've been better off rehabbing there - both rehabbing his body and his mind.

[SCeltic34]

Harden sure has gotten a lot of these calls from the 3 point line.

[JSD]

Hahahahaha!!!

It’s litteraly a joke
