I'll have to pretend that I never saw this VSL horror in a couple of minutes instead of spending quality time with my wife.

This won't be tough to forget before I see her.

Here's where the game was won and lost.

Turnovers - Celtics 27, Kings 7

You cannot win a game when you turn the ball over that much. 22 turnovers from the starters, and most of them were lazy turnovers.

Also noticed these players need a lot more work on PnR defense - the Kings got a lot of simple layups just breezing by the primary defender when they were shepherded to the baseline and either Fernando didn't switch or there was no help defense.

This is a good reality check for them though.
this is the only instance where the word 'good' should be mentioned tonight

Nice trophy
Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

This game shows why we signed Schroder. Pritchard, as good as he has been recently, has yet to prove that he’s capable of being a reliable back up PG.

Btw where was Romeo?

Wherefore art though, Romeo?

Story of his NBA career

He must have injured himself again.

Indeed he did.  He was out with a wrist strain.  Let's hope that's not the one he had surgery on.  We don't need him missing another 3/4 of a season.

Couple of things that were discouraging: Nesmith’s sloppy ball handling and Nesmith’s turnstile defense in this game. Dude’s only 21 so I don’t want to ring the alarm bells, but these are clearly areas of focus for him.

Hard to believe, but the Red Sox were today's highlight

The only good thing about tonight...this better be the LAST we ever see of Carsen Edwards in a C's uniform. HE STINKS.

and please get rid of Romeo...he has zero passion for the game.
Larry Bird was Greater than you think.
