Bummer. This was really the only game I cared about the rest of the season. I do not like the way they played tonight. I do not like their chances versus Denver is the Cs somehow make the finals.

Boston's gotta get to the Finals first, which is hardly a lock.

Yes, I said somehow. I do not like their chances against big/tough teams. It’s the same MO all the time.

[blink]

I love that JB isn't giving up, JT needs to take some freaking notes.

success is this team’s greatest nemesis.

I agree.

Lol of course Tatum and Jrue somehow find a way to screw up a 2 on 1 fastbreak leading to a four point swing when it should've been a six point game.

Such a disappointing effort. This is a real gut punch, as we're clearly being outplayed by a better team that is more poised. Honestly, we look like we used to look against GS after losing to them in the Finals - gunshy.

How the hell is Denver more poised then this team? This team have years of long playoff runs and they still do the same stuff they killed them every year lol if it ever stops they winning the chip, if not just more pain.

JT misses a few layup attempts and then calls it quits for the quarter.

Every time we attack Jokic - we get a good look or score.

Am I missing something that Denver is doing to avoid getting Jokic in these mismatches? I'm not seeing anything that they're doing differently, like pre-switches or anything. Just feels like we are not going to it anywhere near the amount we were last game, despite how successful it was.

[keevsnick]

Celtics cannot stop Jokic tonight. Just no answer to hit 6 foot floater.

[Yuckabuck33]

Would have loved to see more Hauser (2 of 3 from 3) and less Tatum.

[liam]

Tatum just let Gordon go by him for the put back.

Dumb players who are also mentally weak and an incompetent coach.

[Neurotic Guy]

Meanwhile…. It’s a one possession game.

[SCeltic34]

God these refs are so awful.  That's aclearly a 3 and you need to review that?

[ozgod]

Despite are playing terribly, we will have lost this game at the free-throw line where we gave up nine points

[Atzar]

So we effectively give Denver a timeout to check a three-pointer that wasn't close.
