Can't see past Tatum's arms!!!!!!!!!!! The Spider!

Hoping for a play similar to pacers game but no fouls left.

Terrible couple of series by Kyrie.

True.  But I still feel more comfortable with him shooting or driving than anyone else.

The Smart shot was definitely the right shot.  Wish that had fallen -- he deserves it.

It was the right basketball play the defense collapsed and they ball was kicked out. Unfortunately  it was Smart and not A better shooter on that wing.

[satch]

Is Rozier in the game?

That missed FT by Kyrie coming back to haunt us.  I was incredulous that it rimmed out.  Dang it.

Morris missed two straight free throws before that, too. It's going to be really frustrating if those were the difference.

And remember last year we only lost by one in Houston? And that was the game that the refs literally cost us the game by calling Bradley's three a two pointer, and it came out after the game that he wasn't on the line.

Oh my gosh, the Celtics are like headless chickens ... SMH. Hang on to the dang ball!!!!

And thanks for the brick, Smart.

I mean, he was wide open. I know he misses a ton but that's a good shot to take.

It was a good look, just not my preferred shooter.

Smart usually hit those crunch time buckets.

If the C's can keep the ball out of Harden's hands, they have a chance even if both FT's are made.

**No such luck but a 3 ties it.

some cannot comprehend it here

Still time for a 2 if it shows quickly, but likely all in on this one.  Make it!!

[Eja117]

I should be able to come up with something here.

My guess is that it's not a Marcus Smart 3?

Do it

A good look by a bad shooter is still a bad shot.

There's no getting out of this without a 3-pointer. Hopefully they don't run a play for another quick 2.
