I hope Danny is as ticked off watching this debacle as we are.  This game sucked.

[Ilikesports17]

miss one for us.

[tomrod]

Still need one more good player, hopefully at power foward

[CelticSooner]

Most frustrating loss of the season. 

I'm tired of hearing the excuses mostly from media about this team. They aren't playing up to potential. Have yet to beat a really good team. Starting to question whether this group can actually get out of the first round again.

now it's over

Someone tell Crawford he's not klay Thompson

[Kuberski33]

All the weaknesses exposed in this one.

[walker834]

Crowder and lagarrette Blount are the same person there at the same time.  Taunto so confused.

[TrueFan]

On a positive we played some of the best D all year against a very good team.

Their guys got hot and hit some pretty tough shots tonight.

[Phantom255x]

We missed IT's FT shooting AND his overall shooting in the 4th quarter

[tomrod]

We were without our best player. We can beat them, push them to seven games probably

[liam]

We need more consistent shooting. Crowder 2-11 RoZier 4-12 Smart 3-11 Kelly 2-7 Zeller 0-3 That's 11-44. That's not going to cut it.

Crowder has lost this game for us...

He had plenty of help.  Horford didn't play well, Olynyk 2nd half, Zeller..nothing from them.  Smart still can't shoot.  Refs sucked...

Oh, it wasn't all Crowder, sure. We had a ton of turnovers that we usually don't make; we relied way too heavily on the 3; outside of Horford and Smart, nobody played defense the entire game and had huge lapses.

However, Crowder had several bad shots and poor defensive possessions late in the game that ultimately hurt us bad.

Smart should've always been on Derozan, too. Bradley is better suited for those like Lowry and less for bigger guards like Derozan. And they both went off on our second unit in the third with Rozier and Bradley out there, two very small guards.

Its what happens when you play like Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.. Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. happens.

I'd love to blame this on the refs calling that BS foul on Horford, but I attribute it more to the Celtics awful play in the 3rd quarter. They had the momentum and it slipped through their fingers.
