[Denis998]

Total bad effort all around today.

Man Cauley stein p---es me off. He so uncoordinated and his jumper is so ugly ughhhhh

Matt Barnes may have threatened these referees or something./  Not sure how else to explain how he has been called down this entire stretch of the game.

Aggression gets you calls and The Celtics have been passive all game!

Burn the tapes.

Brad is honestly just going to have to start cutting the rotation until the All-Star break. Rozier shouldn't be playing at this point, and Jaylen shouldn't be playing as much as he is.

IT, Smart, Crowder, Al, Amir, KO, JJ, and Brown should really get the majority of minutes with Green getting spot minutes to cover.

When AB comes back, I want to see Green and Rozier permanently out of the rotation.

[ImShakHeIsShaq]

This is my fault. I have to say "my fault and my bad!"

[CoachBS#1]

BAHHHH!!! just one game, GO CELTICS!!!

[GreenEnvy]

That's going to be a flagrant or a T. Barnes is such a dirty person.

EDIT: Common foul. Good call. Figured with Barnes' reputation and how soft we've become as a league that they'd call it as more.

Nothing about that was common. That was a blatant shove. The letter of the law... that was not a basketball play in any way, he clearly just shoved him to the floor.

The sky is falling.  The sky is falling.

1) No effort or energy for most of the night;

2) Bad rotation decisions - keeping the bench in too long; not staggering Al and IT; putting Rozier on the ball and Smart off the ball;

3) Terrible perimeter D - just hard to have good perimeter D when you're playing IT, Brown, Smart, Rozier, and Green a lot of minutes with Smart being the only average or better defender of the group.

4) Way too many turnovers - Brown, Al, IT, and Smart all had 3 TOs apiece, which is unacceptable.

After starting off looking good, our D absolutely collapsed and couldn't stop crap. This IT/Brown pairing just isn't ideal, though we really have to keep it for now with AB out since you can't take Smart off the bench and make it even worse. We've really got to figure the D out and play it more consistently; otherwise, we're not going to advance to anything in the playoffs.

Like I said...trap game.

Their bench destroyed our bench, we just didn't contain the their backcourt at all.

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

Wretched. "Only" one game, I know. But still wretched. And weak. Very weak.

hey maybe this game convinces Vivek the Kings are better sans Cousins?

Somebody gets the genius of Danny Ainge.
