IT - 6-21, 1 assist, 5 TOs and pretty much blew our comeback with his forced shots and selfish play. That's not what leaders are supposed to do.

Hard to win when our starting guards play as stupidly as they did at the end of the game, in addition to the usual absolutely horrible officiating.

Can someone find the quarter-by-quarter foul breakdown? There was a MASSIVE swing in the foul totals from the second quarter to the middle of the fourth quarter. They went from something like 11-5 fouls to 20-25 fouls. Ridiculous.

That call Lillard got was the decider for the game. No way IT would have got a call like that for him on the other end.

It was a bad call at a crucial moment, but IT also turned the ball over while down 1 and Bradley took two absurdly contested pull up threes. This loss was a group effort.

At least hold onto the basketball

Did Brad want Avery to take that shot out of the TO? It was horrid

What happened to his brilliant plays he would make?

connection went down

can someone summarize last couple of mins?

When is Marcus Smart going to finally contribute and give us something on the offensive end

? And without him they're a lottery team getting blown out tonight.  he isn't perfect doesn't make him a bad leader.

Too many TO's by the backcourt - crappy officiating.

6th seed now. Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.. I don't wanna play Atlanta first round.

Looks like we are going to stumble into the playoffs.

The Celtics draft pick could end being 18 or 19 if they keep slipping. 

[SparzWizard]

With that loss, the Toronto Raptors win the Atlantic Division.

[greece66]

i guess this means bye bye third seed

since it is very unlikely for detroit to catch up with us, we can play the rest of the season stress-free

[Kuberski33]

I honestly could care less how they do in the playoffs.  They're not winning a title and they're not winning the conference.  What's important is the lottery and the moves they make this summer.

No, him constantly forcing contested shots and turning the ball over trying to be the hero down the stretch rather than playing team ball makes him a bad leader tonight. He had no business taking several of those drives and shots at the end of the game.
