Are they all wrong?

Richard Jefferson says he does not think it’s going to head pretty for the team.

Vince Carter says they seem like they are stuck in mud.


I heard Tatum teased another Laker infatuation video.

What is wrong with this team?

Is Tatum going to bail after his second contract?

When they play well, which they were a week and a half ago, they deserve the plaudits that come their way. When they play bad like they have the last 3 games they deserve to be

I hope they read all the articles and watch all the bobbleheads on TV saying how they lack heart and are soft and lazy and don't take things serious...maybe something will seep through that they better start taking things serious. Especially the bench guys, they might not even be in the NBA next year if they don't put the effort in.

All Celtics clowning is warranted given how this group has performed this season, consistently dropping games to inferior compettion and losing leads at a historic rate. It's been nothing short of an embarrassment to the organization.

Good, well-deserved clowning. I dont have any hope they will win any playoff series this season. I'm concerned if they would even make the playoffs

Eh.  We’re no worse than the Heat, except we’ve been extraordinarily unhealthy.  It is hard for me to get down on the team in games where they are missing three starters.

It’s been a strange season. The Celtics have had more than their share of injuries, starters missing games, and growing pains. They are underperforming in regards to expectations, but those weren’t realistic anyway.

The Warriors got clowned last night. A must win game and Dallas blew them out by 30. 

An old school, lumbering, passing, big man might be the MVP.

The Heat are underperforming. The Rockets have imploded from being a playoff team to a G-League team. The Nets are the best team on paper, with 3 top 10 players when they are healthy, but will they all be healthy for the playoffs? If not, will 2 be enough, because others have 2 as well.

TimeLord seems to be the X-Factor on this team, hopefully he's back soon.

I think this is an honest take.

Thing you have to remember is a lot of these are vultures that grew up Laker fans just waiting to circle us.

Yup. Team doesn’t have enough depth. When main guys miss time, a) there is not enough overall firepower; and b) the roles get all out of whack. These aren’t excuses for the team failing to beat inferior competition, but I do think the Celtics have a remarkably wide margin between their ceiling with the full healthy roster (Finals) and their ceiling with one of the top 4 missing (first round).

Richard Jefferson and Vince Carter said there is no excuse for missing players because they were still able to field Smart, Brown TT and Fournier and that should be enough to beat the Thunder. They just could not understand the underperformance of this team.

The show Pardon the Interruption with Tony Kornheiser and Wilbom just took their shot.

Tony said the Cs should be dispirited and cannot lose that game to the thunder.

Wilbom says the Cs are the most underachieving team and their display should be bewildering to them.

when did Irving become a top 10 player?

Which is pretty much what we were all wondering yesterday? :)

Just have to agree with their sentiment on that tbqh.
