GAME TIME!!!

Hope you are enjoying Costa Rica.

So warm here. I spent the whole day in the pool!

Go Celtics!

Nice!

Now let's get that win!

Lovely start.

[SCeltic34]

Our 3 point defense has been just awful.

[Yuckabuck33]

Does Sabonis always throw this many elbows, or is the word out that if you play physical and bulliy the Celtics they will collapse?

[jpotter33]

Man, honestly Jrue's help defense has been awful at times. He's always wayyyyy too far off his man and it leads to open shots.

[liam]

Not playing hard enough...

I know these guys must be tired from last night's OT game, but some defense would be nice

How is “being tired” for professionals getting paid millions to play ball even somewhat relevant?
Who cares if they’re tired

[jpotter33]

You call the questionable double dribble but not the obvious travel by Sabonis?

[liam]

HEY REF CALL THE ELBOW!

[Yuckabuck33]

So, Sabonis is allowed to elbow KP in the face. Ok.

[jpotter33]

And this is why you don't choke up winnable games down the stretch in the first night of a back to back. Such a frustrating loss, followed by a poor defensive effort thus far.

[hpantazo]

Jaylen Brown! Keep attacking that rim!

[Atzar]

Well if the Kings are going to hit every single three, we might as well just head back to the hotel and get a good night of sleep.  Odds are they cool off some though.

Just keep playing.

[blink]

That was a nice spin move by JB for the dunk.
Keep exploiting them on def.
