This is just an incredible stat from Jaylen:

Jaylen Brown finishes the night 15/17 (88.2%) from the field, the best shooting performance on 15+ FGA in Celtics history. This is the 32nd time in NBA history a player has shot 88+% from the field on 15+ attempts, per Stathead."

I wish he didn't take that full court shot at the end of the 3rd.

Just goes to show you he is not a stat padder.

As frustrating as that ending was, it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. Not a single guy from that lineup is going to play a minute, come playoff time. All that concerns me is our starters and our bench production, and both were great tonight.

It's the right play. I hate stat chasers. I hate the guys who wait and take it after the buzzer so it does effect there stats. This isn't baseball!

Is Brad drunk?

Why would you play that unit with 6 mins left

This was the same thing that happened vs Raptors

[kraidstar]

LeBron with a long conversation with Jaylen.

What they talking about? I hope that's not a recruiting conversation.

Nah. Steroid Boy is mugging for the camera, trying to look like the wise mentor of his young counterpoint.

He loves to interject himself into situations like that.

[nickagneta]

Always have supported Brad. This is telling....It may be time for him to go.

How can you blame this on Brad?

Why take out Pritchard and Kornet and go 3rd string with sooooooo much time on the clock. Is Brad just covering the spread?

Because we were up almost 30 and almost any G League squad should be able to take it from there. 

This is entirely on the players that coughed the lead up.  Absolutely no NBA-caliber lineup should be capable of coughing up a 27-point lead in eight minutes.

Agree. This was on the players. None of them played with any energy or focus.

Brad held on as long as he could, doing all he could to limit his starters minutes, but that end of bench SUCKED.

Still got the win and the starters only had to play 2 extra minutes. But those end of bench guys seriously need some practice time and should be more ready to play and play hard.

Yeah, but that's what makes the stat even better, he was ballin out and not thinking about his stats at all

[footey]

We have really turned this season. Around.  Guys are really sharing the ball, making plays.  Once Fournier returns, we are going to be dangerous.  I wouldn't want to play us.

Coach don't put yourself in position to be positioned.

They were up 27 and needed to make about 4 buckets in order for it not to become an issue. They couldn't do that. Not Brad's fault.

[Tr1boy]

Who would have thought that Kornet was the key piece from that Bulls trade

Mo Wag is clumsy.  Good cheerleader though

Everyone on the roster should be able to play. Look how many players the Lakers are down.

It was a good win. I guess Brad just likes to keep it exciting.

Yup. I’ve been critical of Brad but even I can admit this wasn’t on him. Trash effort by our third stringers

Wagner, Waters and Edwards should be GONE.
I know there are salary cap implications, and it is probably an over reaction, but we need a 3rd string that isn't going to just go out there and take a dump.  Pick up a couple of vets who will at least know how to play an nba game...

Exactly. Is it really too much to ask a lineup not to blow a 25 pt lead in 4:00 minutes?

I agree, the 3rd string should be able to at least hold a 27 point lead...
