Celtics (43-25) at Nets (13-54) Game #69 3/17/17

should the celtics foul and let them take 2 free throws?

With our luck they make one free throw then get the offensive rebound on the 2nd one which misses and they hit a 3 completing a 4 point play 

wrong. they missed 2 threes to tie the game and took a third attempt too late. luck was with the celtics tonight.

Marcus Smart should not start. Better off the bench.

Maybe we should take Fultz

[ThaPreacher]

Crowder down the stretch!

Smart with clutch free throws

And Gerald Green with 11 important points off the bench.

Celtics squeeze by the ever hustling bubble team the 16th seed in the Northeast-  the Brooklyn Nets.

I hope this isn't a preview of whats gonna happen to the Celtic offense when IT gets doubled, and basically accosted in the playoffs.

Seriously...I would hate to think the C's are a lottery team without IT.

I want to think the Nets HATE the Celtics so much that they got sky high for this game, or any game to beat the team that stripped them of their future.

That was an ugly win.

Although I'm now thinking Ball is my pick......I have been under the contention we need another TRUE scorer like IT .  Fultz could be that guy.

yes ugly. but the celtics played really really poorly on offense tonight. their shooting was beyond Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.ty. they shot 24% from 3 point land. if they make 2-3 more of those, the game does not come down to a cardiac arrest final.

the celtics were bad, and still won. take solace in that.

I don't care how much I dislike Smart. He's made some clutch 4ss freethrows

I'm just wondering why we inbounded to him instead of AB on both if those plays

Smart is 80% at the line and AB 73%. Maybe that is why AND see what happened?

When IT passes out of the double team, we are nearly unbeatable. He has been forcing too much lately. Needs to get back to that mindset.

[SHAQATTACK]

Talk about dodging a bullet

I'm spent out

[hodgy03038]

Next we face Philly without IT and they beat Dallas by 42 tonight.

[KG Living Legend]

 24 points 12 Boards for Crowder. That's why we didn't trade him. Best contract in the league.

Win or lose, and I'm glad it's a win, I can live secure in the knowledge that I have better hair than Jeremy Lin.

Flashbacks to the Phoenix loss...we got lucky there.

Smart sucked most of the game--but came through at the end.

[Atzar]

Better to win ugly than to lose ugly.  Props to Crowder tonight.

Onward to Philly.

 Yeah. I'm on to Philly. Next question.
