Heat (15-15) at Celtics (26-7) Game #34 12/20/17

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

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.

he cannot be this fricking stupid. or cAN HE?

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

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!

like my taxes going down? helping economy like proven with reagan and JFK?
lol stick with your CNN and MSNBC fake news~

[kraidstar]

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.

The good news is that players like it so much here that they are angry when they leave.

I'm getting it straight from Trump I find him credible.

It's called a Paul Pierce iso. It's not like we haven't seen it before.

tough loss -- should have beat this team but they let off the gas again. 

thought for sure Kyrie was going to make the winning bucket until I saw it leave his hand.

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.

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.

And which NBA coaches would you prefer?

3 of them?

There is no perfect coach, and we happen to have one of the very best.

Enjoy the ride, and stop acting like everything that isn't perfect is failure.

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.

KO has a high bbiq....he picked cbs apart tonight

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.

Hopefully he makes many more in the future.  Harden went for 51 and 9 tonight but the Rockets still lost to LAL.

TP for humor.  Yeah, props to Kelly (and Mickey, gulp!).  And I cannot wait for IT to return to the Garden.  Hopeful for a bloodbath.

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.

Those players shot 2 for 22 yet the loss is Kyrie's fault? Rolling my eyes at that.

Your petty ncaa allegiance is ruining the reading experience around here. 

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.
