Winslow out and Dragic doubtful for tonight.
as long as the bench wins the game as they did last game, that is okay. ;Dhttp://twitter.com/IraHeatBeat/status/943524616882081792
Winslow out and Dragic doubtful for tonight.
Don't worry. Our bench will keep Miami in the game even with their injuries! :laugh:
Lets have a Marcus Stupid (smart) poll:
how many bricks will he throw up?
how many turnovers?
how many stupid fouls?
how many times will you scream at the tv when he has the ball?
Olynyk to be honored with the Hero among us award tonight by the Celtics. Classy move by the organization, no matter how you feel about his time here as a player you simply cannot argue with the amount of work he did in the community.This
Smart. 0-16 tonight. builds tallest condo in Boston
Al just padding his stats!

Oh freaking great. Tatum hurt.
EDIT: Actually, upon the replay that didn't look bad at all. Looked more just like a fingertip painful issue.

Yeah I’m confused. Maybe he hit his funny bone or something. I’m not seeing how it’s bad. Bet he’s back by the second half.

Hopefully any adjustments that he has to make to compensate don't mess with that beautiful stroke.

Kyrie needs to invite Jaylen and Tatum to his dribbling camp this summer.
He got picked by his own man and made kyrie bumb into him.
Is that Mickey setting a pick against his own teammate? lol
I wish we could fix these 2nd quarter struggles. Get well soon Hayward.
2k18 finally fixed Baynes hair. It made me very happy!
Refs trying to get the whole team to foul out? Or do they just want more Yabusele?
12 to 5 fouls now.
12 to 5 fouls now.
Hard working people paying a lot of money for those tickets. The league has to keep it close...it would only be fair. :o
What a left handed finish by Kyrie. Great stuffHe is carrying this team right now.
The Yab Dab...Happy to see the kid playing. Yab>>>Semi?
Sometimes I don't understand Brad.
Brown is 5-7 for 12 points in the first quarter and yet they don't find a way to get him a shot in the 2nd. Weird.

You know I'm wondering if there's stats on that - when teams build large leads early in the game, how the foul counts play out across the league. I'd imagine there's a discrepancy where the team that is down big gets more calls.

C's run way too many plays for Baynes. I love the guy but he's literally the 5th option on offense the majority of time.
LETS GO LARKIN!

Wow that stat is really bad.
This is truly horrendous
Brad needs to call a time out!!!

He should be breaking a clip board like Pop right now.
Yeah, that TO is about 4 possessions too late, Brad.
C's just seem like the type of team to play up or down to their competition. Ridiculous.
Another poor performance this month. Trend continues.
I'd like to blame the refs, but when our guys sit around putting up jumpers and theirs go to the hoop every play I have a hard time complaining about foul disparity.
Who is this Kelly Olynyk? Looks pretty good.

Not attacking the basket. Of course you won't get calls.
This is icky. No Dragic, no Whiteside ... and the Cs are still losing?
This game shouldn't even be close. It's amazing how ****ty you look when you don't put effort in.
Not attacking the basket. Of course you won't get calls.
Bingo. C's are settling for 3's that aren't falling.

Fixed that for ya
Another dumb shot, this time by Smart. He had like 3 seconds left before he let it go.
How the eff does Smart not get a foul for that? Jesus Christ, refs, 16-9 on fouls with Miami having twice as many free throws, yet you're letting that go? IT'S CALLED CONSISTENCY!
With this lineup, please feed all. Jordan effing Mickey is covering him.
Smart two boneheaded plays in a row.i dont have numbers to back it up, but i've felt the same way this year
Perhaps it's because we're much better overall defensively this year, so Smart's D seems less special, but it seems like he's taken a step back defensively.
Alright Brad get this garbage lineup out of there and maybe play the starters little extra in the 4th tonite so don't have to pull it out of their ass last second.Put the other garbage lineup back in?
Almost want them to lose considering how bad they are right now.

If we take the ball to the hoop, maybe. Stop jacking up threes after big stops!
Jaylen deserves to be taken out after that. What the heck were you doing?
And neither are the Boston Celtics, apparently. This is embarrassing.Jaylen deserves to be taken out after that. What the heck were you doing?
Cbs isn't playing.
I'd rather Brad play Yabu than Semi, tbh.
That's game
Yabusele is not an NBA player.I'd rather Brad play Yabu than Semi, tbh.
semi sux
ONE AND SOME
This will be the worst loss of the season. Disgusting. Never should have given this team reason to think they could win this game.100%
Tatum at center?Couldn't possibly get any worse, could it?
Start singing Sully!
Feels like whenever Smart shoots well, the C's lose.

KO says screw u brad lol
so sad and pathetic these clown rotations from u.
keep never learning
u r quickly moving up my ****LIST like doc rivers.
we certainly have come back to earth in the last couple of weeks. getting burnt by former players is our specialty I guess.
really disappointing game. Do we get to 55 wins?

I seriously don't get this team.
Down 3 now
smart wants to win so bad all of the time
Smart and Brown making some big time plays out there.
He walked!
He's no longer in green, of course.He walked!
Total travel!
HEY BRAD LETS JUST PLAY SEMI, YABU, LARKIN ROZIER AND NADER ALL GAME NEXT GAME!Is the current line up not working?

KO with a career game. Figures.Not protecting the rim doesn't help. He's scoring from the paint at will.

Infuriating that the game ever got to this point and we only showed up with this ultra small lineup. We better make a game winner. Nothing less will suffice.the scary thing is that this will give brad the idea to go small all the time

I'm with you. Excited and disgusted.
OK Kyrie -- here you go. Win this.
Had an open shot just didn't fall.
Did not deserve to win that one. Man this team is playing some mediocre ball right now.You are being kind .
If the freaking Lakers win now, I'll need an Ambien tonight.

Yup. He makes that shot 9 out of 10 times.
should not have to come down to desperation final shots to beat a heat team like this.
I have to admit I am starting to wonder if our hot start was a bit of a fluke.
Guess what? It's on to New York tomorrow in a game they will see as their Finals.i'm hoping this game makes them wake TF up
What was the last convincing win the Celtics had? Don't say against Memphis or the Nuggets either. Maybe the Pistons, but they had lost 5 straight already.
I'm not really that worried, you don't get worried about a young team that's grossly over-performing both their talent and point differential. But there are some issues that need to be sorted out.

KO deserved this game. Good guy
Great game by Kelly, props to him.
Smart and Brown were great in that 4th quarter. They laid down the entire foundation -- hustle plays, rebounds, blocks/steals, finishes -- for a wide-open look at the end. Unfortunately, Kyrie failed to complete the only task he is ever given.
How many times we gonna say this? Feel like we've been saying this for the past 3 weeksGuess what? It's on to New York tomorrow in a game they will see as their Finals.i'm hoping this game makes them wake TF up

Very disappointing loss from almost a G league team at home.

Probably not a good sign with IT on the horizon. Might drop 50 on the C's defense.QuoteKO deserved this game. Good guy
Our former players really get up to play us. He had one game like that for us.
One could tell that we were going to lose early in the second half.

we can't expect to bail ourselves out of games where we score 35 points in the 2nd and 3rd quarters combined. when need some help on offense. DA gotta use that DPE on someone please, someone that can score hopefully.

I mean, beyond the Hayward loss, we've also not had Morris for most of the year, which is much more of an issue than people realize. Having his offense and shooting would greatly help on these types of nights.
I come to these game threads at the end of games just to see the mental gymnastics Tar Heels will pull in order to blame IrvingGreat game by Kelly, props to him.

YOU DONT WAIT UNTIL 3 seconds are on clock 30 feet out before mAKING A MOVE stupidity all around this team nowadys congrats brad!!!!!!!!!!!Brad said he'll take this every time. I guess an off balance jumper one on three is his idea of a good shot.

Not disappointed tonight
This team is in a free fall, they look awful 80% of the time and I'm glad they lost. They should have lost against Indiana and I predict they get crushed in NY. They are a .500 team the rest of the way, CBS can take a lot of the blame he just lets these idiots go out and do whatever they want.
Also I like Irving but MVP? Give me a break he's IT4 2.0! Makes no one better, needs to learn how to pass the ****ing ball.
Team is almost unwatchable right now, CBS has a LOT of work to do.
Fantastic game by Smart - he really deserves a lot of credit on offense and defense. If he keeps this up, he will get paid a LOT this offseason.
YOU DONT WAIT UNTIL 3 seconds are on clock 30 feet out before mAKING A MOVE stupidity all around this team nowadys congrats brad!!!!!!!!!!!Brad said he'll take this every time. I guess an off balance jumper one on three is his idea of a good shot.
like my taxes going down? helping economy like proven with reagan and JFK?Fantastic game by Smart - he really deserves a lot of credit on offense and defense. If he keeps this up, he will get paid a LOT this offseason.
ROFL for every game Stupid has like this he has 5 awful ones. Any team that pays him a LOT next year will regret every dollar of it!
Smart fans are like Fox news watchers, they totally dismiss facts!
Are the Celtics the the only team that seems to get burned ridiculously on former players' first games back with regularity? It's pretty crazy.

Bro, this is non-sense. How many clutch points did Kyrie score tonight, like 10? It's not even close without him. If you want to complain about someone, complain about Al who was non-existent all night long.

That's an easy argument to make in his favor. But again, consider that he was shooting sub 33% near the end, but Smart and Brown gave him continued opportunities on the offensive end. They did their job time and time again, just as Kyrie was till that last, wide-open look. Apparently 12 were required for the win, and he failed to produce.

Kyrie is the best option at that time. He didn't make the shot. No one makes them all, and Kyrie is still hitting more of them at a higher percentage thay almost anyone else.
Well, the "Former Celtics Revenge Tour" series of movies started tonight.
Staring - None other than Kelly Olynyk, with Guest Star Jordan Mickey.
Both of these "B" listers figured prominently tonight in this upset thriller in Boston.
Next up? None other than Oscar Nominee Isaiah Thomas, staring in "Hell Hath no fury like a Former Boston Star Scorned".
This one has been HIGHLY anticipated by Basketball fans FOREVER. It is being rumored as the NBA's version of "Gone with The Wind."
Get your tickets FAST - this thriller is selling out all around the country.
Isaiah is in the running for an Oscar, and he has Supporting Actors Kevin Love (no stranger to the limelight himself), and none other than Lebron "The King" James as the main protagonists.
I'm predicting an OSCAR performance from Isaiah - Uncle Drew be danged.
Blaming this loss on the guy that scored 33 point when Larkin, Theis, Ojeleye, Rozier, Horford and Baynes scored 8 points in 95 minutes is ludicrous. It just goes to show someone's dislike of Irving. This loss isn't even close to being Kyrie's fault. That is just ridiculous.Great game by Kelly, props to him.

College ball is a blight on the basketball community so perhaps you can do us all a favor and check that nonsense at the door?
We all know how you feel. Move on.
What the f**k was this??? Bulls, Jazz, now G-Heat. Till when Brad???top teams don't lose to bottom teams...if we don't get a big man we out in 2nd round
After start season 22-4, now we are 4-4. Come back to .500 team ?A bit risky to place your assessment for the team upon an eight game stretch.
I would say it has been pretty common events lately .After start season 22-4, now we are 4-4. Come back to .500 team ?A bit risky to place your assessment for the team upon an eight game stretch.
10 and 6 since the streak. That changes one’s perspective perhaps.
But this loss sucked. Olly went bananas, refs were bad and jobbed al, some Celtics played without passion or energy, and Kyrie misses a game winner. Not a common collection of events.
I hope fatigue is part of the reason for the way we are playing lately.
More games than any other teams so less practice. ... again I just hope that is the reason .
to expand on this, Irving had 9 points and an assist on 4/5 shooting in the final 2.5 minutes. Over that 150 second stretch we cut the lead from 11 to 1.I come to these game threads at the end of games just to see the mental gymnastics Tar Heels will pull in order to blame IrvingGreat game by Kelly, props to him.
