Rockets (38-20) at Celtics (41-17) Game #59 2/29.20

[CelticsWhat35]

Looks like I wouldn't wanna see Houston in the Finals, they have our number this year.

I would be very happy for the Celtics to see the Rockets in the finals (aside fro the fact that it would mean I’d have to watch that Rockets team for an entire series)

Man, I just need to take my mind of this game. It isn't good for my mental health. Should I read a book? Play a video game? Idm...

Just booted up Zelda myself, lol.

I'm there with you.  For some reason, this was a tough loss.

Zelda's always a good time. Just need to find something that will lower my blood pressure. At this rate, I'm never falling asleep lol.

Have you seen "The Legend of Neil" by chance?

apparently Harden had a rough time tonight....

Missed the game, came on here to get some takes. Looks like everyone’s all bent out of shape and arguing over little decisions or single plays from whomever. First game after a tough road trip where we played well, against a good Rockets team the league hasn’t really figured out, OT loss... move on.

I hadn't, but it's like a Zelda parody, right? It sounds like a fun watch.

I was just about to clock onto Dragon Quest XI for a while, but then remembered I had work in an hour. Grr!

Yeah, I found it funny. Not familiar with the game at all, imagine it'd me funnier still if I was.

Celticsstrong is falling apart!!! Jk, but this was a really tough loss. Felt like we just got punked in our own home.

TP....this was the tuffest loss for me since Irvings " NO MASS" against the bucks in last years playoff.  Even though the team let each other down ,  low effort , CBS is the coach and he needs to own this ...he sucked ...Defeat stamped across his Skull.

Hayward really struggles with these clutch late game shots.

I know he's efficient when the game doesn't matter, but he's killjoy in close games. Point blank layups, wide open 3's - you name it, he misses it.

You know how easy it is to refute this, right? He, Kemba and Marcus all shoot within 1.8% of each other in terms of FG% (Kemba as the best, Smart as the worst), and Hayward is our best clutch 3 point shooter, closely followed by Tatum and Kemba. So basically, he's no worse than Kemba (just a much smaller volume), and he's massively more efficient than Smart in the clutch when you consider 3P% and FT%

Yay. I suddenly feel better about that missed layup against the Lakers and the missed three tonight and also the brick house he tried to build in Utah (that we fortunately survived).

Seriously, my bad. I keep forgetting we're not supposed to criticize him.

Rofl. If you want to ignore stats and continue criticising one guy for something numerous guys are guilty of, go ahead. It's hilarious. You say that as if he doesn't cop it incessantly. But he's your whipping boy, so go off

I dish out criticism across the board. But forbid I come for Hayward, then the good 'ole boys come running to protect him. He's had a chance to put away two close games in the past week and he's come up short in both, but I guess I should just point to the refs.

Yeah, almost as if fans have favourites. Just like there are those who ardently defend Brad, or Brown, or Smart, or Tatum. Craaaaaazy stuff! Woe is you

Yeah, I really don't get this victim mentality some have on this board. I may have strong disagreements with some on this board, but I never feel the need to act like I'm getting ganged up on for having an opinion.

Lol. I'm not playing victim but that's cute deflection. My point stands. This board protects and coddles certain players while attacking others, it's a huge reason I've stopped reading and posting here as much. If it was a different player than Gordon under the same circumstances, criticism wouldn't be so denounced.

Loved Dragon Quest XI. Kept me captivated the whole game, which is quite a challenge for such a long game.

Whatever you say, buddy.

Fun game.  I didn't get all the way through it - that large of a time commitment is tough to swing sometimes - but I definitely enjoyed my time with it.
