Celtics (23-48) at Raptors (40-31) Game #72 3/28/14

[Surferdad]

Well, this is awkward . . .

Am I really the only fan in this game thread rooting for the Celtics in this one?

The ideal is for the guys to play hard all game, and then lose a close one at the end.  This has been their MO all season.  Everybody wins!

Yup. I hate the tank. But so few games left in this season i need the tank!

Less than 15 games left and it is Ultratank season across the league. ML Carr level tanking going on.

[Celtics18]

Man.  Sully, the rim protector, and then there's nobody there for a rebound!

Come on, get a good look here. 

[Surferdad]

Whew! Close one.

[SCeltic34]

Another great effort by the C's.  Can't ask for much more.

[Celtics18]

Ugh!  Max was saying that offensive rebound by Amir Johnson was on Bayless, but Brandon had his body on him.  He has to keep him off the glass on that one. 

[BigAlTheFuture]

Great effort, better loss. Can't get any better than that.

[Mr October]

A Sully runner from the 3 point line?

Yeah, this is not a good team. Finish the tank. Do well in the draft. get Sully on a diet. Get Kelly in the weight room. Get Rondo 100%. Then let's make things happen next season!

[Neurotic Guy]

Nice block by Green.  Glad to see the C's lose this one.

Yes, it's strange to have the thread so in favor of losing, but I think most of the season the thread was not like this. It's now down to 10 games and I think most of us believe that we are better off finishing this season out with losses.

Brandon Bass is terrible.

[Celtics18]

I don't even mind you guys rooting for the tank anymore, but I do think it's super creepy the way it's taken over the game threads.

Yes exactly.  I wasnt sure earlier in the season, but now I say go for the tank for the last 10 games. This too shall pass and they end up with more ping pong balls.  Hey why not?

[Rondo9]

Great effort, better loss. Can't get any better than that.

A win would be nice.

[SHAQATTACK]

This game should never been played this close .

Restocking the tanking Laker s by us winning games is just absurd

April could be even more intense.

I find it ironic that you used the term absurd.
