Celtics (14-12) at Heat (9-18) Game #27 12/18/16

Just terrible. But this is what we get when we coast, and it started with the starters and continued with the bench. This team needs a reality check. Why can we not play with full energy for a full game this season?

[SCeltic34]

Welp.  That was one of the most disappointing quarters I've watched this season.  Amazing we only lost it by 10 points.

this season is a big disappointment so far...

[Denis998]

of course Zeller gives up a bucket the moment he enters the game.

[Granath]

Unlucky with shots going down + lower energy + dreadful rebounding = lousy quarter.

Brad should light some people up in the huddle going into this 4th quarter. That's just not acceptable.

[SCeltic34]

I think Brad is going to play IT the entire 4th quarter again.  Maybe a 1 minute rest at the 7 or 8 minute mark but no more than that.

It really sucks not seeing Brown here in the second half.

Has Smart played that bad?

[TrueFan]

We got the three small guy lineup that plays terrible D out there right now.

Let's hope we don't get smashed on the boards here.

There's a thread on here where someone asked why the Celtics have such issues holding onto leads. I agree with the comment that said it's a lack of talent. When the communal well starts to run dry, there's really no one who can be counted on to dig for more.

Yes it is

[Granath]

Has Smart played that bad?

No, the suckitude award goes to KO. He's been dreadful.

[jpotter33]

It really sucks not seeing Brown here in the second half.

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. Brad's rotations have always been questionable.

[Chief]

It really sucks not seeing Brown here in the second half.

But Zeller is in.

It really sucks not seeing Brown here in the second half.

I think he brings a lot of energy when he plays.
