Celtics (18-10) at Pistons (13-13) Game #29 12/15/18

First team we’ve played in 9 games that isn’t a total creampuff. Not surprised we are losing. We should win the next one easily and then see where we stack up with a quality team like the bucks on the 21st.

Not only wrong, but also devoid of context.

I almost never complain about the refs but tonight they have been bad. On both ends.

The calls went the Pistons' way in the key moments, though.

A lot of times when the game is out of reach/cover is certain, they start to even things up for the box score.

team has always lived and died by the 3 which is crap offense in my opinion.

tonight, C's are 7-25 and Smart has 4 them.  Morris, Tatum, Brown and Hayward are a huge goose-egg from deep.  They're also a combined 10-34 right now.  C's won't beat anyone if Kyrie has no help.  this is the same offensive performance they had during the first 20 games this year.  didn't miss this and wish I wasn't seeing it

They look tired too, despite the starters playing low minutes against Atlanta last night.  Shots falling short, bad passes, step slow on rotations and closeouts.

Stop the presses, Trump is telling the truth.

That's a technical foul?  Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. has this league become?

This officiating crew needs to go on a vacation.  Permanently.

how is it wrong.  Name one team during this win streak that had a record above .500 when we faced them.  Creampuffs.

League should fine these refs for incompetence. I mean, that was after a replay review.

[SCeltic34]

How many times have they left Galloway wide open?  Our defense has been uncharacteristically bad.

Why is Rozier still in this game?

Edit: about time Brad

10:21 of the 4th yet another example of poor Brown defense where he gets schooled by 40 year old Calderon due to overplaying him to his right. Or are we going to ignore this one, too? 

And this is why I call everything you call empirical into question. Brown did what he was supposed to do on that. He guarded Calderon's strong side and tried to force him into going at the center down under and Calderon beat the switch.

Some plays aren't bad defense. Some plays are just good offense and other plays, because of the switch everything defense and trying to force driver's into help defense, it isn't the man on the ball playing bad defense.

Obvious case here so again, I call into question your claims of bad defense.

Why is Rozier still in this game?

Better question - why are we still watching this game?

Lol Blake telling the refs not to fall for that. Irony 101
