Celtics (19-11) at TrailBlazers (12-19) Game #31 12/28/25

Sam got all ball there! This should be overturned.

White/Pritchard are 6-23 for 16 points. That's just a killer from your 2nd and 3rd options.

The Blazers are doing everything they can to deny Jaylen the ball, somebody else has to do something.

[SCeltic34]

Celtics are shooting 9-34 for 26% from three. Blazers are 14-38 for 37% from three.

It's very hard to win a game where you shoot 10% worse from three, we'll see if the C's can pull it out.

Yeah and we've been getting a lot of great looks, just not making them tonight.

White and PP just 6 for 23 combined, but we're still in it. 

[SCeltic34]

Hugo quietly having a very solid game.  Chips in points and some important plays throughout this game.  Back to back good plays - assist to Hauser, then knocks down a 3 off the feed from Brown.

If the 3s aren't falling, then ADJUST and find other ways

That's the issue, and the same issue last year against the Knicks in the playoffs. The "live by the 3 and die by the 3" philosophy is a dumb way to play when you don't have to die by the 3.

[SCeltic34]

That's just incidental contact.

Natalie Sago has no business officiating in the NBA.  Consistently makes a horrendous call in every game I've seen her officiate.

[SCeltic34]

What a joke the NBA is.  That's a flagrant?  I'm tuning out now. 

[radiohead]

That should not have even been an offensive foul. What a soft call.

[jpotter33]

What a freaking soft league this is.

That same ref is absolute garbage in other games too, she's all over the subreddits for other teams as well for being trash

[Silas]

Ball don't lie!!!!!

[keevsnick]

That brown foul should not be a foul at all, he's going up and does nothing out of the ordinary. the fact that it was also a flagrant is insane.

The Blazers getting 0 points out of it is basketball justice.

[SCeltic34]

White's shot selection is just horrid this game.

[jpotter33]

God, White has some awful shot selection at times. Terrible take from him.

[SCeltic34]

Wow.  Dwhite is losing us this game.  Gets JB trapped then throws a godawful pass.  What the hell are you doing man?
