Bulls (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) Game 1 4/16/17

[BE-Celtic]

Al stepping up a bit with the 3 which was greatly needed.

Still, we are SUPER lucky to be playing the Bulls here. Imagine this first half against the Wizards. We would be down 20 at least.

One could argue we are playing bad and still in the game, a bit like the Bucks game a few days ago ago but come on... this game needs to be a statement for the series and the Garden should be on fire.

This is not Celtics pride right here

[RockinRyA]

Olynyk has been horrible.

[RJ87]

 We need more from guys not named Isaiah, Avery, and Al.

[Billz401]

NBA refs and I have one thing in common: we all dislike Olynyk.

Ditto

[MBunge]

There aren't words to describe how miserable this rebounding is

Part of it is just having players who are poor rebounders, but this is also a scheme issue.  We emphasize defensive rotations over boxing out.  It got us the #1 seed but our perimeter defense has to be a lot better to compensate.

Olynyk has been horrible.

Both he and Amir non factors.  Kelly more so.  I'd opt for for zeller

At this point Id go Jerebko

Funny not really noticeable but Horfords first half stats are nice.  He and Amir are getting man handled by Lopez down low though

[BE-Celtic]

Agreed with the Jerebko agrument. Throw him in. He might hustle, get some rebounds, make necessary fouls, pull Lopez away from the Bulls hoop and eventually can 1 or 2 three pointers.

EDIT : isn't it time to reward Gerald Green for his last game ? We lack scoring, that's what he does

Could be they read our game thread s  too.

Jerebko is the most consistent of the bunch.  He plays basketball like it's hockey, but I'll take that over the trash provided by others.  Kelly is something special.

[Phantom255x]

That DWade missed dunk was probably our best form of rim protection today 

[SCeltic34]

The Bulls are getting a lot of BS calls.

11 to 5 foul discrepancy.

[GreenWarrior]

yeah comin out taking jump shots is the way to get back in the game. amir shooting a 3 no less...

[Celtic Fan Forever]

What a move Al!
