And another no-call for Bradley at the rim  So ridiculous.

looked clean to me.

Isaiah looks to have an upper leg or groin issue.  I won't be surprised to hear he's on the shelf after this game -- he's wincing frequently.

If we lose this game we suck, we really really suck.  Better get ready for another first round bounce.

lol relax.

They are 13-7 at home and playing their best basketball of the last two years at the moment.

This is actually the game which will decide the entire fate of the franchise for the next 5 years..

Let's gooooooo Celtics!!!!!

There we go guys!!! Really like what Jerebko has on this starting unit!! Brings energy and can stretch the floor. Has played really solid defense too!!

Yabusele would fill that role really well for this team. Hope he transitions well to top tier talent in the NBA because he could make this team dynamic

NICE -- 12-0 run.   Now let's see if they can prevent Houston from going up by 8 or 10.

Defense + rebounding + baskets = lead

[jpotter33]

Amazing what happens when you actually hit shots AND defend on the other end. Seems like we've only done one or the other most of the season thus far.

At some point Brad needs to throw a full blown fit on this referees. This one deserves a full blown Bobby Knight chuck the chair across the room response.

These calls have been absolutely terrible and the difference in the game are all these bull free throws (and questionable offensive calls on the other end). The Celtics have 2 FTAs. The Rockets have 20 and it's not due to aggression. This has been one of the worst refereed games I've seen in quite some time and I'm not usually a "blame the ref" person.

I'm debating not watching the 2nd half of this game.  I hate the Rockets and the way they play.  Mostly Harden.  The foul discrepancy makes it even more intolerable.

It sucks but we aren't playing any good so its not like the refs are completely blowing it for us. The Cs have to play better also.

I disagree with this assessment. The Rockets have attempted more 3 points FGs and I think both teams have been equally aggressive. The 20-2 disparity in free throws is the difference in this game.

some questionable foul calls to be sure but C's are too in love with the jumper to get to the line in any given game.  tonight's no different

TP man. I cant believe I forgot about that.

Horford!

[Ogaju]

why is this game on NBA TV ....coverage is awful.

[A Future of Stevens]

So are most of us in agreement that Horford is our best 2 way player?

It looks like either groin or hip flexor. He'll be fine until it gets cold, at that point he'll have an issue. Hopefully it's nothing more than a strain, if he sprained it it will hamper him for a while
