Celtics (1-2) at Bulls (2-1) PO Game #4 4/23/17

IT with a super star game tonight.

Truth is I'm not sure why you would bite on the pump fake on Butler. He's kind of a streaker shooter.

WOOT! REFS CAN'T STOP US!

They keep trying though

[Eja117]

Marcus has a legitimate claim to being our best player this series so far.

Get in line after IT like everyone else. Also get behind Gerald Green.

And for Stevens being ballsy enough to put Green in as starter!!

True dat

But wouldn't you guys rather have Julius Randle?!

1 for 5? 7 rebs. A block. 3 Tos. 3 fouls.  Can't stop Jimmy Butler or D Wade. Can't post up over Isaiah Cannan? Yeah I think Randle could handle that.

+11 in a crucial road playoff game.

+/- is a worthless statistic. Avery is a +4 tonight. Jerebko is a +1.  +/- means nothing whatsoever.

You're reading the stat wrong. +1 in a game that we're winning by 11 is bad. As is +4 in big minutes. +11 in an 11 point game is very good

Smart has better playoff stats over Randle!

Red would light a cigar, I am pouring another glass of my Lion wine! Cheers to the Celtics and to everyone on Celticsblog!!

The refs kept this game closer than it should be

Why are Butler and Crowder playing tummy sticks?

Not entering in the Randle/Smart debate, but I think +/- is a stat that actually says a lot.

Jimmy Butler is a -8 tonight

My point was that that stat can help a seeing players who are useful on the floor. What was the +/- of Booker when he scored 70 ? Some guys just put some numbers but for no good use. Smart does'nt score a lot but I think he makes his team better.

Butler's FT count: 23
Celtics FT count: 22

8 on 5 and we still win.

[SparzWizard]

Step them on their throat!

[Eja117]

That catch and pass to Horford under the basket by Smart was awesome and so was the pass to him

[Surferdad]

Not even a free throw shooting game. Just putting them away!

[hwangjini_1]

game, game, game.


i believe!

Great win everyone!!

[Celtic Fan Forever]

I gotta say, I'm insanely proud of this team. I was losing faith down 2-0 going to Chicago, but man this team played tough and with heart on the road!

Let's go Celtics!!!
