Celtics (14-11) at Pistons (14-12) Game #26 12/16/15

[celtics2030]

AB played poorly defensively

so did the team.......No need to trash AB on the offensive end

this team scored way more than they would have needed if they played a little defense.

i give them credit, even with a poorly played game they try hard until the end.

Everything we've heard for the past three years is that they try hard until the end. At some point you have to consider, does it even matter if they can't win games?

AB had a bad night. The people who don't like him couldn't wait to respond. It's like a wet dream come true.

Gross, was the "wet" part really necessary? lol

Yes, their dislike of him is stronger than a mere dream! LOL

[esel1000]

Need another high level scorer with IT and AB, that way when one has a bad night we still have options. I'm losing hope in KO ever being a consistent player as well. Prove me wrong please Kelly

I think you read too much into that comment.

Seriously you'd think we were the Nets with that comment lol

Caldwell-Pope scoring at the rate he did really hurt us. Jackson also got his in the fourth.

If you don't think Smart wouldn't have had an effect on this game.

Zeller played well.

well, they are above .500, so yes.

Reminded me of the Brooklyn loss. Team was a bit lethargic all around but at the end of the day it was mainly just dudes on the opposing team hitting ridiculous shots at an unsustainable rate.

Backcourt and wing depth exposed a bit here. Smart returning will definitely help if only by providing the extra body.

a round of tps to brighen everyone up!!!

next time the celtics win for sure. 

[jpotter33]

Well, the good news is we have a relatively soft schedule coming up through January, and we should be a good bit over .500 by that time.

Zeller played well.

Smart would have shut down either of KCP or Jackson when Bradley is off.

It wasn't even necessarily that the defense on KCP was bad, he was just hitting every contested bullEdited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. midrange jumper he took.

I know it's been said a thousand times, but the C's need a trade that adds a scorer, and without giving away the Nets pick. Let's move some bodies.
