I guess I can't be disappointed too much. The effort is there. It's a bummer we couldn't steal a win against Doc though.

[Fafnir]

Jordan Crawford is simply a dumb defender.

I agree.

Which is one of many reasons he isn't a guy you pay to stick around long term. Hope he's dealt by the deadline. Danny, I'm sure, will find some sucker to take him.

He's an offensive combo/pg type. You don't expect Mo Williams or Jamal Crawford to play good D either. Just have to understand what sort of player he is.

There is no way on Earth you can come out of this game thinking Doc is the better coach....noooo way.

[pokeKingCurtis]

We had no business being in this game.

Yet we were.

K-Hump and Olynyk had sneaky injuries. Nothing from the bench, as a result.

While on the other end Jamal Crawford was killing it from their bench.

i know stevens wanted to show confidence in brooks and give him a chance...bad coaching...cost them the game

Huh? The C's only lost a point when he was in the game. Not a good stint but it didn't cost the C's the game.

I don't think it was Steven's finest hour, no. I don't think it cost the game though.

Yeah... that was certainly not the reason why he put Brooks in the floor.

momentum is a fickle thing...collison misses 2 free throws...foul/turnover...collison makes 2 free turnovers...3 turnovers in 4 minutes at a critical juncture...

[Spicoli]

Is this the most shot attempts Jeff Green has had as a Celtic? Can someone elaborate on what kind of shot attempts he was getting?

[Scottie]

Congrats on the win Doc, your team was much more composed down the stretch.

curious time to throw him into the fire

[Shamrocker]

Well, looks like we're streaking again.

[Andrew Celtic Nation]

Jordan Crawford is a really bad defender, Jamal Crawford is obviously not a good defender either but for some reason late in games Jordan Crawford always seems to stand out on defense more than the other awful defenders in the league. Steve Nash is a horrible defender but he doesn't commit the stupid fouls that Crawford does, we had Paul dead to rights with 6 seconds left when he started hacking him for no reason.

Huh?? Bad coaching wasn't a problem..foul trouble, injuries, and poor bench production was the problem....yet they still had a chance to win.

Trying to match up with the Clippers small line up I guess with another guard.
