God I hate that. Vuc just passes up an open dunk to pass out for a bricked three. Analytics be dang'ed - that's a stupid decision.

Their body language on defense suggests they know they?re done? Joe should pull the starters in get the bench in

People gotta give Vucevic time. There's literally numerous GDTs and threads from earlier in the year basically saying Simons was garbage, overrated, etc. and then after a few months he suddenly looked a lot better and was beloved lol

At his best Vucevic is still almost a walking double-double and definitely has a lot of the same traits as Horford.

I don't recall people calling Simmons garbage, but if they did they clearly hadn't seen him play before.

We need Tatum back to have a chance against DET/NY in the playoffs if we meet in a series. But it's just annoying that NY seems to have our number even though I don't think they are that much better than us, we just cause so many self-inflicted wounds ourselves. And the refs are frustrating but it's not just them, especially last year in the playoffs it was mostly our players/coaches.

Feel like they rarely play well in afternoon games.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Fell apart after we cut it down to four? that was when we started getting all those dodgy calls and I think they got frustrated and it caused them to lose focus. White faded after being influential in the second quarter, JB Lost the ball a few times and PP was a non-factor

They?re 15 of 34 from three and we are seven of 40? that?s the lead right there, 24 points

February 1, 2015. Pats beat the Seahawks in the SB. Celtics lost earlier in the day.

Celtics lost earlier today in a Pats vs. Seahawks SB...  :o

well, the team can't win every game and sometimes they just have poor nights. this is one of them.

i have been puzzled by mazzulla's line ups for a while, but they seem to work. but as of late he is starting garza in a double big line up. I am not so sure that is a good move.

Give him time, certainly. But Vooch looked like a net negative today.

Feels like the Knicks always got our number. With Jose Alvarado they've improved.

Hopefully the other Boston sports team don't lay an egg like this one today

Joe Mazzulla philosophy...never take the easy 2's, always take the 3!
