Bulls (23-33) at Celtics (31-26) Game #58 4/19/21

[hpantazo]

Tough loss without 4 of our key guys out, but credit to the Celtics for fighting to the end and coming close. It just wasn't their night. Nice game by Waters though and some nice moments from Langford.

Just a bad bad loss

We blew an opportunity to gain some ground on the 4th seed. The main story here I think is that the Celtics as a team just didn’t respect their opponent. It didn’t help that they started the game on fire in the first quarter. When the Bulls came back it felt like the energy just wasn’t there anymore, as if they were just waiting for the Bulls to fold. This was the old Celtics team that showed up tonight. Of course we were undermanned bit still this was a very winnable game.

Sigh, looks like it's back to the doom and gloom again  Who we trading and firing tonight

Supposed to rain tomorrow.  Maybe you can find a rainbow

[kraidstar]

Ugh, that's a stupid take Tatum, especially when you were just looking for the foul. Take the three there. You've been God-awful offensively tonight.

Yeah, really. A 3 was our only hope and it's not like they were going to stop Coby White from getting the ball on the inbound anyway.

Disappointing loss and boring game. Sucks when we the fans care more about the game than the players.

It drives me nuts when we don't take a 3 there. This isn't college where 3/4 opposing players are either bad FT shooters or chokers. At the NBA the opponent will find a way to hit enough FTs to win.

Gotta hit a 3 eventually. Might as well do it earlier instead of wasting clock.

Wow more wasted talent found on the bench.  Thanks Brad

Hope you're not talking about Tremont Waters. Because he's been undeniably terrible in most of the games in his career

Yea I’m talking about waters.  We don’t need him to replace anyone but geez he could at least play in front of Carson edwards.  And he stepped up today and gave more effort and made more of a difference then grant williams has the last 3 games.  I’d say question brads talent management.

Good for Waters, but he was also part of that disaster a couple of games ago that got Wagner cut. We have Kemba, Smart, and Pritchard in front of Waters for PG minutes. If all goes well, we'll never have to see Waters play meaningful minutes again.

Tatum got the triple double, but he was awful tonight. Did not engaged offensively all night, leading to a 3-17 night.

He missed a lot of makeable looks. But a lot of his passes were good. If Grant and Semi could make wide open shots... this might’ve had a different outcome

9 offensive boards by the Bulls and 16 turnovers by the Celtics.

Bulls had 90 shots, Celtics 77....

Danny coached the team better than brad tonight

[Quetzalcoatl]

Celtics played semi injured players who looked gassed ahead of a huge string of games with 4 rotation guys out...I know it's not going to get me a lot of TPs but they should have rested Tatum and Brown

[liam]

They should've played Nesmith for his rebounding.

I said the same thing.... It would've been the Pop move.

Wagner got himself cut

[footey]

I know he got a triple double but Jayson was off all night.  3-17 FG. 

We missed Kemba and Marcus playmaking.  Danny said as much. Of course the Bulls didn't have their best scorer in Lavigne. 

[liam]

Also the back to back goaltending calls, one missed on the Bulls and One on Romeo that was a bad call makes 4 more points. Refs were bad, energy was bad, rotations by Brad were bad. Brad should've just sat the Js and run the young guys.


What would POP do?

It would have been the right move...

Of course you would. I would say in return that this is maybe the 2nd or 3rd game in Waters' whole career where he's looked anything like an NBA player.
