At least we are making the LeQueen All Star club play hard .......surely more energy than they planned ...

They ll need it when the Spurs spank  their  butts

i wouldn't bet on the spurs making it out of the first round, if their first game against the clips was any indication.
refs were calling literally zero fouls inside against the clips. spurs couldn't defend, and couldn't grind out buckets.
it was only one game, but they looked really bad.

Well, we almost won a half, lol. ;D I had no idea that I'd accidentally predicted that Dan Crawford and Bennett Salvatore would be reffing this game, so there's no way that we can win.  Not that I expected to, but still.

I am not impressed with Isaiah Thomas.  He is a me-me-me player who never passes (obviously) and plays out of control most of the time.  In game 1, during key moments, I counted at least 3-5 instances where he got in the air before figuring out what he was going to do, which subsequently led to turnovers.  Sure, he can score and get to the line, but other than that, meh.  I also figured that Lebron would be the mismatch in this series, but I was wrong - it's Thomas on Irving.  Any time Kyrie sees Isaiah on him he scores at will, and that cannot happen.  Assign Thomas to someone else, or don't play him against Cleveland's starters.

Also, we should be exploiting Love's 2 fouls with Bass or Sully, but I guess not, lol. ;D Ugh.  Other than that, we've been okay.  Smart and Bradley need to play more, especially together, and where is Swedish meatballs?  He could be a big help offensively.  The rebounding is far better than on Sunday, as well, so that's a plus.  We're not going to win, but maybe we can keep it close for a while in the second half.  Our only shot is to come out in the 3rd and jump them.  If we don't, we're doomed.

Btw, Kevin Dasd - when the Celtics went up by 9 in the second quarter did you hurl your xbox controller through your new flat screen, lol? ;D

Boston, let's be real for a moment...

You got a nice little team here. Don't be so quick to ask for "star power". A lone superstar might mess up the chemistry you got going here. You just need a few more solid players or a big three like we got.

If we upgrade Bass for Love....

I feel as if these are contradictory statements. 1) star power is bad 2) you just need three big stars like us lol

What do you expect form a fan club that hates there star  and burns his jersey when he leaves but welcomes him with open arms when he comes back. Bunch of contradictions!!

I like blaming the refs just as anyone, but this game has been called quite evenly.

Yep, can't complain at all about tonight so far. We'll see if it keeps it up in the second half, though.

I disagree, once you establish yourself as a cheat you are subject to that criticism. The cheat label does not take a day off because one game is called evenly.

I'm disappointed that Boston went into halftime with a deficit, albeit only 1 point, considering they had a 9-point lead with just two or three minutes to go in the half. This team seems to have trouble closing quarters strong.

Also didn't like Thomas giving up the ball to Sully like that.
There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'

Le Whiner will take over .....always steps up the intensity ..in final two quarters.

Hope the C's can weather the storm ....he ll try and make a big separation ...so the game won't come down to the last shot game .

Yeah he's been quiet so far. They'll come out and try to blitz the C's.

If we can hold tight the first 8 minutes .....but the Celtics go COLD shooting too often ......if we go cold ....turn out the lights

The next few minutes are critical

Looks like Stevens learned his lesson, no Olynyk to begin the 2nd half.

Potter, I honestly feel one start is bad. Too much hero ball. You need three or just a team like the Hawks, or the Celtics.

So moving picks are legal?
Back to wanting Joe fired.
