52 seconds left. We're up by 2. We have a full 24 second shot clock. We take a shot with 23 seconds still left out of a timeout. I sure hope that's not the play out of the timeout.

The other play I didn't like was when Olynyk fouled out and Stevens replaces him with a guard. The Wizards take it right to the hoop with Bass being our only big.

I'm probably over reacting to two decisions but dang it sucks losing this one.

You can't ever play Bass at center. He's 6-6.
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

The 3 by Smart was terrible, then the long rebound lead to Wall racing down and picking up the and1. Bass should have stayed in but he should have put Zeller in instead of AB. I would have actually gone with a defensive lineup of Smart, AB, Green, Bass and Zeller. Got the rb and took the timeout. Put Turner in for AB (or Smart) and went for it.

I didn't like putting Sully in there bc he cant defend. At least not when we need him to guard the perimeter.

The iso plays really hurt. It was a mix of KO being out and CBS not doing his job and telling them to move it like they did to get us to the lead. Green shoulda pulled up for a J on PP but he seemed too hesitant. Turner should have sent it to green in the corner off the kickout, there was plenty enough time.

All in all, it was just a few mistakes by a young team. We did very well, especially given the opposition's talent level.

I agree that Bradley should had been in. He was actually playing some good defense earlier in the game. I also couldn't figure out what Thornton was doing to get so many minutes other then staying out of the way.

Yeah. At that point in the game, we needed stops and rebounds.

IMO the reason he played so well yesterday is that Humphries yelled sthg like that to him.
He certainly looked p---ed off for the rest of the game.
Maybe getting Wallace to make loud sarcastic remarks every time he touches the ball would improve his game.

The OT was a pure street ball. Lots of hart and hussle but no plan. I know he had a bad game but rondo should have been out there.

I loved the ending to this game. Between Bass Rondo and Banks 2.0 the tank seems alive! Now we just need to lose 10 in a row so we can undo the damage this sensless winning streak has brought the Celtics.
