The scrappiness and speed of the Rockets defense is bothering the Celtics. If Tatum can get it going a little this game is winnable.

This Houston team reminds me of the Celtics.

If there was ever a game to go small in it's this one!

Celtics doing an amazing job to only give up 11FTAs to this team. 11-8 in FTAs is definitely a major Celtic positive.
And that count is (in my opinion) with at least two shooting fouls missed on Hayward, and one on Kemba

Celtics 40.4% -- bench 35 minutes -- 7 points
Rockets 34.1%`-- bench 27 minutes -- 5 points

Both teams combined 12/44 from three.

Harden + Westbrook = 8/21 -- 26 points

Also, not a huge fan of 9:30 pm starts on a Tuesday. Nope. Don’t like it at all.

40% shooting and 9 turnovers ... and somehow a 2-point lead. Hopefully they can settle down and the Rockets stay cold.

I am rooting so hard against the Rockets now, with this 'centerless' brand of basketball they play.  I do not want that style succeeding at all.  I don't care about Harden and his iso-heavy game.  But the rendering of bigs as irrelevant is not a good development for the watchability of the league.

They seem to get away with more contact by going small.

Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

Come on, guys! Can we stop with the stupid turnovers please??

About now would be a good point for a timeout to settle these guys down Brad!
