Dallas is playing well.  They are making a ton of shots, a lot of threes.  Not much the Celtics can do if they shoot like crap.

We're 6/13 from three, they're 7/13. We're just being outplayed.

I said a ton of shots.  Do you disagree with that?

[esel1000]

wow a call for Smart!

[jpotter33]

THIS is the Smart we know he can be. He's finally healthy, and it really looks like he's got the go ahead to be more aggressive now.

I wonder if the coaching staff has held him back a bit or having him shoot outside more.

Got to love Sullys defense on that Zaza dunk, stop moving so he did not get posterized.  Bench him!

[slamtheking]

While our defense and offense have been pretty bad, Dallas won't keep shooting this well. Also, how did they not call a foul for Smart when he drove to the hoop? Refs don't like the kid I guess...

it's the hair.  Sully can't buy a foul either

Smart never gets calls... it's ridiculous, so it affects his shooting % when in reality he should be at the line half the time

good point regarding the shooting % -- TP

[jpotter33]

Welp, Crowder is disappointing in his return home.

[slamtheking]

someone needs to teach Crowder how to post up a much smaller player

[max215]

Jae is 0/7 from the field.

[jpotter33]

Why is freaking Turner bringing up the ball and handling it??

[KeepRondo]

Crowder is an excellent role player and should never be the second go to scorer. No fault of his. We just need better players still.

[oldtype]

There has to be something with the Celtics and the refs. This is getting absurd.

[ImShakHeIsShaq]

THATS A 3 BEECH

[tomrod]

they just call those "fouls" on "stars".

[max215]

Not a fun first half. Smart is awesome though.
