Brutal game for Thomas.

IT has to make that shot

Yep. Beautiful move, but it means nothing but without the finish.

Get it within 10.

I love all these "we are not a good basketball team" posts. Get outta here with those. We were one of the best teams in the east and fully healthy we would have made a serious run here in the playoffs with the full compliment of players. We are without one of our best starters and important bench players and Crowder is clearly not even close to healthy and IT isn't healthy either. We are a good team. Not a good shooting team, sure, but a good team that's playing to about the sum of its current parts.

Teams that play above their talent level often overextend themselves, and injuries are a natural consequence of overextension. So there you see one is not removed from the other. Injuries are a consequence of not being that good to begin with.

Brutal game for Thomas.

[bello_man09]

we are not taking advantage at all.

[Dino Pitino]

Thomas, Smart, and Crowder are a combined 2 for 23. We're still going to make a run and eventually make this a new game.

It's amazing we are in this with how we are at scoring right now.  Smart doesnt have a shot and doesnt want to shoot.  Turner cant seem to get his shots. Isaiah cant make a shot.  Crowder cant either.  Amir is good.

[LarBrd33]

Did somebody say another IT chokejob in the playoffs?

size seems to become a bigger factor for him when defenses tighten in the playoffs.

[CoachBS#1]

Seems like celtics brings knives to a gunfight

[jpotter33]

Well, at least they're consistent. They're letting them play down low.

[bello_man09]

AMIR..has been great.
