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

[Snakehead]

Al and IT showed up. AB was pretty good. Everyone else was atrocious.

Smart has absolutely not been atrocious.

Team low -18 and handed the game away with stupid shots and passes. He's absolutely been atrocious.

lol sure dude.  You weren't watching.

[Banner18now!]

Now the Negative Nancies are having a field day. They are starting to come out in droves.

We have rebounded well in the second half, but our defense became suspect. The refs didnt help, they have been constantly killing whatever momentum we get.

Has avery taken a shot in the 4th? I think Brad has to tweak his rotations a bit so IT is on the floor at the start of the 4th. We also played well with Jerebko on the floor, the spacing was good. Why go away from it?

**** were do you see anything positive from this? It's a wake up call that a team can't get by with one guy who can score and rebounding. Works in the regular season but not in the playoffs

Picking Rozier ahead of dekker and Portis was a really dumb move

[Ogaju]

Hate that Celtics lost HCA so early, but I believe that they still beat Chicago easily.

GO CELTICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't put this loss on BS.  We have had about 4 off possessions that we have made poor decisions each time.  Bad shots from Smart, IT not having any idea Butler is going to stuff him.   We don't look like the better team today at all.  We haven't been clutch at all.  Bulls appear to be a better assembled playoff team. 

We are undersized team that excelled in the regular season.  Until we start winning games in the playoffs all the 30 point games from IT, and the 50+ wins don't mean a whole lot.

We need some serious rebuilding of this bench unit. Smart is a keeper despite having a so-so game but there is nothing else to go to right now.

Game 1 is always up in the air.

We're still going to win this series.  But it's not going to be enjoyable to watch at all since we'll continually get smashed on the glass.

Brad's decision to play 11 players is beyond stupid.  That should NEVER happen in a playoff game. He deserves as much blame for this loss as anyone.

Yep.

You can't still be figuring out who to use in Game 83 of the season.  I mean, come on.

[Celtic Fan Forever]

Awful awful decision making by Jae there

[cltc5]

Nope not giving up crowder for butler 

[Snakehead]

You guys are going in on Smart I wonder if you looked at Crowder all game long.

[BE-Celtic]

It's over.

We are supposed to be a rebuilding team but when you are offered the #1 seed, you can have the decency to beat your opponent in the first round. Honestly this loss makes me sick.

At least we'll have a lottery pick this year.

Classic overreaction. Its game 1, stop acting like the Celtics are knocked out.

I didn't mean the series is over. I meant this game is ugly and doens't let any good things to come in these playoffs. This is disapointing

[JOMVP]

What in the world was that second crowder three?

[D Dub]

Not over yet...

[celticinorlando]

I like crowder but man pack his bags for butler

[CelticsFan166]

The team had one job: to win one for their teammate during a tough time. They failed.

Anyone not named IT, horford, and Bradley ought to be ashamed of themselves.
