Man, possession and a 3pt lead. That should be money. Had lead and possession vs LA,too. Worrisome.

Way to get sloppy when the game counts most.

Blame this game on the bench. We won't beat the top tier teams as our team is currently constructed.

Top Tier

Lakers
Cleveland
San Antonio

Yeah, the only top team that we've looked good against is Orlando.  Still, we've only been blown out in one game against an elite team; the other four losses, we've been in it until the final seconds.

Is it me or is Manu breaking the plane of the out of bounds line when covering the inbounds. That should be a technical foul.

Bad way to lose a game.

That hurt. Celtics need to get back to those early 1st quarter leads. Keeping the games close just creates problems down the stretch.  
Tommy: He's got a line about me. Tell him the line.

Mike: Everybody 60 or over knows Tommy as a player. Everybody 40 or over knows Tommy as a coach. Everybody 20 or over knows Tommy as a broadcaster. And everybody 10 or under thinks he's Shrek.

Blame the game on the bench all you want but all Ray had to do was inbound the [dang] ball and we had a chance for a tie or lead.

This was a fairly reffed game. We still found a way to blow the lead, though.

I thought he was too but the replay showed that he didn't, at least not when he grabbed the ball.
"Take this down," said O'Neal. "My name is Shaquille O'Neal and Paul Pierce is the (expletive) truth. Quote me on that and don't take nothing out. I knew he could play, but I didn't know he could play like this. Paul Pierce is the truth."

C's dont have anyone reliable off the bench to help close out [hate to say this] the way Pose did. DA must get help or we will be seeing more endings like these.
