The comeback tells me that when the C's want to play, there aren't that many teams they can't run over.

I just wish they played like throughout the whole game. Coulda easily won by double digits.

I don't like claiming the Celtics just didn't show up as opposed to truly having a bad game, but I think tonight was a good example of the former. So, I'll look for them to wash up the Nets and Bobcats, D-Will and Kemba be [dang]ed.

Didn't think that we would be going 3-0 in b2b2b, but never saw the loss coming in the first leg.
We need to show up with a better approach for the next game.

Lol... We just played tough games on Tuesday and Wednesday.  We have had a day rest.  Wasn't surprised in the slightest... Doc was actively trying to give the players rest And the players were clearly dogging it... Either intentionally or because they burned themselves out going 150% over the past 3 weeks.

Not sure how we are going to muster energy heading forward.  Might be best to rest rondo, kg and pierce the next two games even if it means getting some losses.  We have already overachieved so far on this brutal schedule

Literally everything about this game is sickening. It's one thing to just have a bad game.

But to see that it was clearly just about lack of effort is disgusting.

this probably has been mentioned, but i figure after that 1st quarter, the Celtics started thinking about the 3 game weekend and let up with the thought in the back of their minds that, "this game is ours - let's make sure we conserve energy for the next two."

before you know it, a bad Raptors team gets a little momentum and the Celts reach down but can't flip the switch to get their intensity back, the always susceptible offense goes in the tank and we lose a very bad game.

this particular group has been very painful to love at times during these past five seasons.

How on Earth did the clearly fictional Alan Anderson put up double digits tonight?

By definition, you can't play 100% every night....and tonight was one of those where we were well below that.  Move on....
