[slamtheking]

no offense but where are the guys here who said the Celtics have a chance to take over the Cavs?

lol

Typical comment...gloating cuz your gloom predictions appear to be in your favor.  True fan you are. I swear you're an undercover troll.

he's just upset Mickey isn't getting any PT because his boy would certainly save the day

you are a typical green teamer homer

wake up

If the Celts make it close tonight...i'm happy...all I expect is the Celts to make it past 1st round...anything further is foolish thinking

Hope they get their arse chewed at halftime and come out like they did in the Rockets game, though someone needs to chew Brad's arse too for his terrible rotations early in the 2nd.

There is not much arse chewing that will make guys hit open shots.  This has been going on for a few games now.

It's beyond not hitting shots, though. The defense has been terrible all around, and the effort and intensity just has not been there.

just joined the game with 2 minutes left in the half. it was not a pleasant experience. 

from what i read the celtics have not played well. the stats show a really p--- poor shooting effort tonight. has it been the cavs defense or simply a case of crappy shooting by the celtics?

the little i saw on the defensive end did not inspire me either. sigh.

Danny-
PLEASE do not resign KO!!! It makes me sick watching this stiff. And the refs hate him/pick on him too.
Only two real keepers on this team- IT and Avery Bradley. And I suppose Jaylen B. for his potential, and Gerald Green for bench spark/attitude.  Everyone else is mediocre at best.
And are we EVER going to get a center/rebounder???

Tp

How did this team make it to the top of the east?

how did ATL win 60 a few seasons ago?

some teams  are built for the regular season...but when other teams play seriously...  there is little chance

celtics  outside of a few ...are full of Matthew Delladovas.... just going to grind you out...make open shots...play smart...consistent effort

but when a team full of skilled players play for reals... then..

How? Because they were healthy. In the playoffs they were ridden with injuries. BTW that Hawks team got to ECF. Are you gonna ignore this like you always do huh triboy? You know what, just watch your boy Mickey in Maine.

More important Lakers are up on Spurs

well that would be a pleasant surprise if that lasted.  would almost put the doom and gloomers about the pick out of their misery but they'd probably pin their misery on the Suns next

[jpotter33]

Well, on the bright side, the Raptors are losing big in Detroit, which would go a long way to making them the 4 seed instead of the 3 seed. So if we lose and almost assure ourselves of the 2 seed, at least we might get Washington in the 2nd round instead of Toronto now.

I'm still scratching my head over the lineup that Brad trotted out to start the 2nd.  It was a disaster waiting to happen.  As much as I like IT and Horford on the court together, they need to be staggered to provide some stable source of offense.  Playing IT the entire 1st may not have been the best idea.

[Banner18now!]

It's impossible to say anything bad about Smart in here

Too many fans overrate him. He is a huge liability on offense. 3 years in the league and he is still horrendous on offense. Good defensive role player that's it. I wouldn't miss him if he was part of a trade.

Or maybe too many haters likes to nitpick on him? I mean he's not the only problem in the game. The whole bench, not just Smart flat out suck tonight.

So you are saying he is not a liability on offense every night? You don't agree that he is basically a very good defensive role player?

Yes i would...you rather play Jerebko over Mickey?

CBS plays Jerebko over Brown...so go figure

You keep defending brickmaster Smart

He has to stop shooting...CBS is the dummy giving him the green light

This team mopes around when they don't make shots, nothing new.

The Cavs D has been atrocious. It might not be exaggerating to say that we've had wide open shots on nearly a dozen possessions due to Cavs miscommunication on D.

We're just really not hitting shots and playing some terrible D ourselves on the other end, especially our rebounding.

[hwangjini_1]

whoa!!!! the celtics bench shot 1 for 12!!!???

They will say getting the first odds wont matter coz the chances say we will get the fourth.
