Trail Blazers (35-28) at Celtics (34-30) Game #65 5/2/21

[radiohead]

Brown was atrocious tonight. Beyond the refs, he was a big reason we're going to lose with his continued poor shot selection and poor overall defense.

I sadly agree. In hindsight JB should’ve just sat this one out. Now he might miss multiple games, with that crucial two games vs Miami coming up. At least they have a 3 day rest in the offing.

[Chief]

Wow, that was the worst possible outcome

Wait..so  how the heck did Smart get ejected on a play where he got fouled on a moving pick, and got one tech??? That's garbage.

Because Smart also hit the dude in the nuts and he has a reputation for it so refs just threw him out because of it.

He accidentally hit the guy as he got fouled on a moving pick, same way Powell accidentally hit Smart hard in the face earlier and the refs reviewed that one and called it a common foul. Can't have it both ways.

Couldn't see what happened. Tatum looked like he got hurt by Brown hitting his lower leg, though he looked to walk it off. What happened to Brown?

[Tr1boy]

Wow, that was the worst possible outcome

Luckily team doesnt play until Wed next

We can credit this one to the refs. Horrible calls.

[hpantazo]

Play-in bracket, here we come!

If brad woulda sat the guy that had an off shooting not he wouldn’t be hurt.  Brad get a clue how to read the room dude.

[Indocelts]

This game is the opposite of the Spurs game.

We faded down the stretch.

I like our offensive flow though, it's just the Blazers hit lots of tough shots.

Hopefully the Jays are OK.

May have been knee of knee

[blink]

we need both JB / JT for our stretch run.  If either misses multiple games it is going to be tough staying out of the play in games.  Hindsight, just sit Jaylen for this game.

Exactly. How one goes a common foul and the other nothing is just typical of how there's no objective standard in the NBA and it's all so arbitrary, why it leads to huge amounts of inconsistency. So frustrating. That was a reputation call, even though there was nothing really there to suggest any kind of intent at all.

Their ankles interlocked in a weird way such that when Jaylen spun down it twisted both their ankles simultaneously.

Bc Brad took out Nesmith and Pritchard

Especially Nesmith

The guy went 6-7...cmon ride him a little

[liam]

That one lineup of Nesmith, Tatum, Pritchard, Fournier, and TIMELORD should've when the rest of the game. I believe that's the lineup that got us back within a couple of points. Lots of shooting and good defense.


Hope Tatum and Brown are OK!!!

Just a brutal injury season!

Can we have one healthy season, we're due!!!!
