Give up 120 to team that struggles to shoot the ball... safe to say your D has been awful all night.

Crowder hasn't even taken a shot in the 4th... makes a lot of sense...

There you go, KeepRondo. There's IT trying to recklessly take  the ball against a guy a foot taller than him, and of course Bradley can't hit a freaking layup..
how do you not want him to take that there.

Are you kidding me?? He had two trailers behind him, yet he took it up against Wiggins, a guy literally a foot taller than him, by himself! That's inexcusable!
You must blink a lot because he scores consistently against bigs at the rim.

Small ball again.   :P

That's obviously the answer since we can't get a rebound!
What else are we going to do? Play Zeller more minutes?

Mickey.
Yeah. That sounds like a recipe for success.

Yeah, because Zeller and small-ball has been working so well.
You know you are grasping for straws when you think playing a rookie who's played like 3 NBA minutes total against the guy who's tooling on your team is a good idea.

Just not the Celtics night tonight. Their defense in general the past few weeks has not been good.

I'm going to daydream Gobert being on this team now...

I don't think it's Mickey as much as not playing Zeller.  He has been just awful this game and since KO has been out.  I don't see what was keeping him on the floor.

Well, there's no sense in arguing with you about it if you think it's fine for him to take it up against Wiggins on a 3 versus 1 fastbreak rather than passing it up to the open guy...

You gotta be one of the few ppl who would want IT kicking it out when he drives.

Bad game, but I like that they are not quitting.
