Woke up still feeling annoyed.

But where I'm at right now, the sun rose and blue skies filled the air. New day. On to Sunday

  This is what most fans have been asking for unfortunately.

We lost what I call the possession stats big time.  We lost points off turnovers 26 to 8 (-18) and second chance points 16 to 10 (-6).  That is -24 overall on these two key stats combined.  Clean that up and we win running away.  7 more turnovers and 7 less offensive rebs.  That is 14 additional possessions.  This is what killed us.

Simply can't let either happen again.

asking for what exactly??

no, no, we are NOT asking for JT to take dumb garbage ISO contested fadeaway jumpers which have a 5% chance of going in.

My parents always used to tell me, ?Well, the Celtics (actually, it was the Sox, but still applies) don?t care about your day, so you shouldn?t worry about theirs.?

Didn?t help them, either.

the way we where playing we should have lost by double digits- that 2nd half was embarrassing and we almost did a chance to win the game.

most of us lived vicariously through sports teams in our 20s and 30s. once you get in your 40s and 50s you stop letting thios affect you and prioritize time and others in your life. pretty sure he is under 40 maybe even under 35 so i would cut him some slack. i used to be mad for days after a loss.
do i still love and enjoy sports/ sure! i just do not let it dictate my life anymore.

an old saying of mine is do the (insert favorite team name here) pay your bills? if not you should not care anymore than 15 minutes after game is over. vent and move on to bigger things in life. They do not care about you or your life struggles.

Ahh - We're all a little different and aging doesn't take us all down the same road (well eventually it does, but you know what I mean).  I wish getting older put everything into perspective and allowed for a perfectly practical existence, but unfortunately sometimes even older people ruminate unnecessarily.  I'm glad that losses like last night provide only occasional twinges of annoyance and doesn't impact my day that much.  But there are still old sports events that provide some present day agida - 1987, 2010, the Patriots winning the final game versus the Bills. 

To KP - he is not the same offensive machine he's been and hope (expect) he'll get back to himself soon - before he's injured again.  I hate to say this because I really love the guy, but I do wonder if his head needs to be more into the game and less fan-responsive.  The bloody head departure and re-entry was great, but I think I want his game face tightened up a little as we head into the rest of the playoffs.  How about an edge, a bit of mean (if he has it in him)?  Horford is showing that side and KP needs to follow his lead. 
I can't help but wonder if the atypical misses that KP has had this series might be due to his head not being quite as much in the game as it needs to be.

No Jrue in game 4. Officially a concern.

JB questionable.

Nah, all good, I was commiserating. Believe me, I?m in my 50s and still have my days?

When did Jrue even get hurt?? Now he's missing 2 games in a row because of it too??

Well it?s a hamstring.  Unfortunately it will take a little time.
