Even with the complete screw-job in the 1st half, Celts are only down 2 points.

What is with these 3d quarters ?????
It's not just one team either. It has happened over and over, you know they have to be very aware of the possibility coming back out for the 2nd half every game. But it happens again anyway. We are one strange team.

That sucked but guess what. I'm still feeling good about the overall series. C's in 6.

Hoped they'd steal one on the road early this series and they did. Now the focus is to defend homecourt!

Same spot they have been in the last 2 series.
1-1 after two games.

The key is not losing game 3 which they have done in both previous series

We haven’t lost 2-in-a-row yet and I don’t think we’re going to

After tonight I’d be shocked if they didn’t win game 3

PP34 and KG will not have let this rout happen. They'd scream and grouch at the young kids. Esp those turnovers that keep happening over and over and over and over again

24 yr old Pierce or 30 yr old Pierce?

Let’s keep it apples to apples huh?

Ugly game, but probably good that they embarrassed us down the stretch. More motivation to come out in game three.

Very disappointed in the way we played tonight.  Even when the game was still close, we were playing like s***.  The blowout felt inevitable. 

Onto the next one.

recipe for disaster

we are NOT maximizing any advantages we have over GS

in a flash this team blows us out the building

will we get a blowout on them like we did bucks 28 or miami 25?

i will just take a win but this gives me heartburn how quick we can crash and burn if game is close

we need a blowout at home

LET'S GO CELTICS!

We'll be fine. Were better than GS. We need adjustments though. They are defending us differently. Their delayed help is actually doing work, making us commit to a move before getting cornered and trapped. A lot of the TOs came from that.

Just lots of trouble at the rim tonight. Curious to see what adjustments are made for game 3.

Hope Rob is OK - that was his surgically repaired leg that Marcus fell into

Boston home court has to a factor this round. Win game 3 and 4…that is the mission

Dodgy officiating aside, GSW took away the skip passes and the drop passes. C’s were obsessed with driving and kicking/dropping the way they won game 1 and it just wasn’t there. The shot was there but guys weren’t looking to shoot. Need to adjust for game 3.
