We'll see what happens over the rest of these playoffs, and they did get the #1 seed with 53 wins, but this game isn't making me feel very good about this current core group.

Kinda validating the folks who continued to say the Celts were a bit of a "smoke and mirrors" / "try hard" team that would not play up to the caliber of its record in the post-season.

Still 2 pieces away. Cbs has to learn how to coach playoff basketball too.

Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

Portia has a career night. No one Celtics stepped up from the bench...save smart.

Going to find out a lot about these guys in this series. No extra gear and every game is close just like regular season so far.

Just not enough scoring or rebounding on this team. Celtics should win this series despite this turd laid once again in a big game

****. They are not scoring.

Gotta play Brown and Green more next game. We should be able to out score Chicago.

Rebounding is the root cause of this. The Celtics could never pull away.

Bulls are a bad matchup for us.  IT just drifts on D sometimes and there was about 8 feet clear when Grant hit that 3 over him.

We're only 1 piece away. A talented big man who can rebound (Blake, Boogie, AD).

Gotta add rebounding. Been an issue for three years and never addressed

If we lose this, I don't know how IT teammates can look at themselves in the miror after what he's doing and the pain he is going through for nothing

You're absolutely right.  They haven't played nearly hard enough for IT.  A loss would be on them.

By far the weakest #1 seed in the history of the NBA. This team is flawed big time. Pathetic watching them struggle against a weak Bulls team. I overrated them by saying they wouldn't get out of the second round forget that they may get bounced again in the first.
