Trailblazers (18-26) at Celtics (26-16) Game #43 1/21/17

[BE-Celtic]

This would be a reeeeaaaaaaalllly bad loss.

Especially when you know Toronto lost yesterday and Atlanta is about to play against Philly

[MBunge]

I'm amazed at how much the defense has fallen off from last year.  Were Sully and Turner secretly the key to everything last season?

Mike

Huge shot from Rozier.  Needed that one.

[TrueFan]

The big problem in the last two games is the shooting funk Horford is in. It won't last forever.

The man goes coast to coast and you still hate on him. I get he's not playing great defensively, but he makes some really nice plays.

He makes nice one on one plays but he doesn't seem to understand team ball Offense or defense but he plays hard and I don't hate him. He's just not my favorite Celtic...

TP. I don't understand why you can't criticize certain players without being considered a "fake fan" or just a "hater" or whatever else it is.

Its one thing to be critical but you start screaming for players to be traded such as Crowder or cry how terrible they are. Obviously Roz is going to make mistakes. He doesn't have much experience.

Show me where I said Crowder should be traded. Stop putting words in my mouth when you have no idea what you're talking about. Grow the F up. 

I called him out for talking all big and then not showing up for several games after that, which is completely justifiable to call him out about.

Only time I've said he should be traded is if we get an upgrade like Butler or George at the wing. I've consistently said we can't make a trade with him unless we get an upgrade at the wing position, too, because he's our only capable starting SF on the best contract in the NBA.

you get so emotional in the game threads.

You clearly wanted Criwder gone because he was offended by the Heyward chants and then proceeded to have two bad games.

Because people like you who have no idea what you're talking about and try to put words in other people's mouths and get upset when someone criticizes your boy in Rozier. Just block my posts if you have such an issue with them.

Good Lord you're like dealing with an obsessed ex-lover who can't get over you.

"you get so emotional in the game threads" is more or less admitting "I lost this argument"

Looks like Rozier is out of his shooting slump...

big time 3 there from Terry!

Mike

I've asked myself this as well.  I think ET's departure hurt us more on the defensive end more than people realize.  He was versatile and did a solid job for us.  His minutes are being taken by Rozier, who has really struggled on the defensive end so far.

Sully was terrible defensively, but at least helped us close possessions out by rebounding.

[Kuberski33]

This would be a reeeeaaaaaaalllly bad loss.

Bradley would help - especially against these guys.

What argument was there? I'm making an observation.

[TrueFan]

Hope Brad keeps this unit in longer

[SCeltic34]

Another really poorly officiated game.  Lots of bad calls on both teams.

Par for the course.

[PhoSita]

Here's a graphic that illustrates how Terry Rozier sees the court:
