Oh man, Haliburton with a contested three and a missed bunny by JB.

[SparzWizard]

Jaylen's D this year has really been bad.  used to be a good on the ball defender at least and even that hasn't been good.  really bad tonight

Yeah, it's awful. There was a Celticsblog article the other day highlighting this issue. His off-ball D has always been questionable to bad, but even his on-ball D is poor this year. Brown getting smoked by multiple Indy players tonight on individual D exemplifies that - even dang Nesmith.

I know GreenlyGreen is licking his chops right now over JB 

[Silas]

Rob making a difference.

[jpotter33]

Wow. It's like you almost shouldn't let the other team and their main guys get momentum and feeling good early in the game. Who would've thought? 

[Chief]

All net

sadly yes.  Jaylen could be having a spectacular night and he'd come up with a ridiculous reason to trade him.

[hwangjini_1]

dang. too many missed shots at the end. dang.

[Yuckabuck33]

This team can't even run a simple fast break anymore.

[Silas]

Nice comeback but....

[slamtheking]

dang. too many missed shots at the end. dang.

among many, many other problems tonight.  if they just managed to make the shots they took from within 3 feet tonight, we'd be ahead.  must have missed 5-6 right at the rim

[Neurotic Guy]

I need my faith renewed.  Right now I’m completely disillusioned.

[angryguy77]

Well we lost, but the good news is the guys learned some lessons tonight and we didn't burn all our timeouts.

This young inexperienced team is being guided so well by Gum Chewer.

[radiohead]

The guys are gassed. Hopefully Joe learns from this game. You can’t mess around and expect the team to get back when they flip the switch. Three straight home losses doesn’t bode well for these guys.

[scaryjerry]

Just wait for timelord and horford to come back!


Oh wait

Rick Carlisle is just what this Celtics group needs. An old-school hard ass and a guy who has an understanding of Celtic Pride.
