Why did K.O. get pulled after 2:30 minutes?  Had to step away didn't see.

He fell for a wade pump fake from 3

We are playing for the 6th seed.  It makes sense.  We are on the opposite side of Cleveland and all the teams  from 3-6 are even......We need to be 3 or 6.  Play the young guys and get ready for the playoffs.

They have no chance in beating Atlanta.

I don't buy that at all. Sure, it's not the greatest matchup for us, but they're not that much better than us overall, if at all. We had an epic collapse in the second game of a back to back on the road in a very high-pressure game. It happens. People are claiming facing Atlanta would be like Cleveland last year, which isn't true at all.

Are we tanking? Like, even in the Atlanta game we played three pretty good quarters. But the last two games we've just laid eggs. Are we tanking for positioning? I mean that's the only thing that makes sense to me right now.

6 quarters of God awful basketball! Offensively they aren't this bad but they aren't good either. They have to play with grit and balls to win and lately no passion!

This thinking is ridiculous. This isn't the Big 3 era.

ET has really struggled over our poor stretch too.  If he continues to suck we have no chance of escaping the first round.  We need his production off the bench.

It isn't even just him name one guy that's played well....Amir, Sullinger, KO, Crowder, IT and on and on nobody.

I'm not singling him out, it's true that our entire team has been bad.  But he's the only other player on our team who can consistently get into the paint and create his own offense besides IT.  If he struggles, we're going to struggle.

Please don't give him another contract.

You're worried about Cleveland in the EC Finals? We can't even stay within 20 points of a team on the second night of a back to back on our home court, and you're thinking about the EC Finals???

5-23 shooting for an entire quarter. Dreadful, dreadful basketball. And I thought it couldn't get worse than that Charlotte game.

Thankfully, Toronto has started to play. They've cut the deficit to 7.

LOL if that was it.

[CelticsFan166]

This is pitiful

[CelticSooner]

Trying to avoid certain teams in the playoffs when you haven't even won a playoff yet might be the dumbest idea ever. I don't buy it.

[max215]

Still gonna demand that we WAIVE ZELLER!!!

I'm not saying we can't win a couple games but they are better than us talent wise by a big margin IMO.

[tomrod]

They have no chance of winning a playoffs series. Maybe if it was Charlotte in 7 games with home court advantage

[jpotter33]

If you think about it, it's no wonder we've been on this skid - Crowder, ET, and IT have all been very well below average during the stretch.
