Celtics (45-24) at Jazz (45-25) 3/22

[vinnie]

Bad second half defense and bad shooting from Ray, Paul, and Rasheed and a lackluster performance from KG and you have a loss.

Forget the refs, forget the lack of a timeout bu Doc to start the second half, the Celtics just got out hustled and out muscled and out shot from the 2 minutes lewft mark of the first half on.

I can't forget those Refs they were the mvp tonight.

Yep -- every time the Celts lose it is on the refs.

I'll call this one the Okur show..he was the one who hurt us. Deron didn't shoot particularly well..Boozer played well, but that's it.

Certainly would've been nice to have this one, but we'll show up for Denver.

Pierce didn't play well?

Are you serious about Williams? He completely controlled the second half.

Deron was 5-14 from the field. He made half of his points from the charity stripe.

And yet - he still completely controlled the second half.

Good Point. Can't argue with that.

The ONLY guy on the C's who Completely shuts down Okur----is---SCAL, but he's in street clothes.


Deron Williams entire game, is running as fast as you can into guys, and getting the foul call on contact.


I don't mind losing to the Jazz----I just wish these buttholes would play like this against the Lakers-!!

This Jazz team can talk, play as good as they possibly can, and won't even come out of the second round.  Talk it up Jazz, enjoy your home regular season wins.

We love rubbing it in, don't we?   TP.

Please. The Jazz earned that win.

I guess.  I saw a badly called game that was taken out of the players hands in every way. You see it as a fair contest were the better team won. I hope we meet the Jazz in the finals!

LOL...my thoughts exactly. TP.

[MaxwellSmart86]

Yep -- every time the Celts lose it is on the refs.  

Not every time. Every game in the NBA is not fairly called in my opinion. But you see it as a fair and even league so we disagree. Ok.

Sure - not every game is called perfectly. But the best team won tonight. No doubt.

We'll see in May and June who the best team is and I bet anything it won't be the Jazz!

Yeah he is an awesome player and it's about time he started getting credit for his defense. I cant think of another guy in the past 20 years that is like him. Strong, fast, shooter, passer, smart.

I mean hes not the 2nd coming of Magic or Cousy or anything just a really unique player who competes pretty hard.

[liam]

At least Atlanta lost too!

[MaxwellSmart86]

Doc just said that they lost in the last 2 minutes of the 1st half----up 13, we stopped playing and let them right back into it.......sounds familiar.

[barefacedmonk]

I hope we don't get too harsh with our criticism tonight....4 days back we would have gladly accepted the 2-3 road record. The energy was still good. A guy named Okur was hot from beyond the arc....and unfortunately he happened to be on the opposition's roster. No biggie.

If Doc thought it was all on the players why did he go way out of his way, by clapping for like a minute, to get tossed and show up the refs. It was a hard night on the road against good shooting and poor calls. You can't win them all.....
