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

[SparzWizard]

Wow we got a series now. Was tough coming back from 0-2 hole esp having to travel to Chicago.

But the Celtics won not 1 but 2 games AT Chicago...the house where they've struggled winning in in the past. Now the C's got momentum again. Hope they take advantage of it and win Game 5 back at the Garden!

IT had 5 TOs and was 1-9 from 3.  But his drives were often spectacular, he hit 12 of 13 FTs and the smile has returned to his face.   IT has an even better game awaiting.   So does Avery.

Need to upgrade Crowder.  Not sure I can come up with a memorable "Crowder" play this entire game.  Not even a good important rebound/steal/charge/shot/stop.

Really, we can almost get what he is giving us, from just about anyone

Offense won the game. Basically what happened was they found a third scorer (Gerald Green) who also happened to get a ton of rebs, and some other players were efficient (especially KO) and they played a lot of effort defense making Butler earn every single thing he did (and he did a lot).

Very good team win on the other team's court on a night when the refs called it horridly.

It will be very interesting to see what happens next.

Was Amir Johnson a DNP?

Yes.

Lets take care of business at home and onto round 2. I am extremely impressed by our effort in the past 2 games and couldnt be prouder of them! I think we win this in Chicago in 6 now...the Celtics train is leaving the station and its time to start rolling onward to the ECF vs. the Bucks or Raptors( )

[jpotter33]

Feeling a whole lot better.  Not sure C's would be where they are now without the Rondo injury, but at least C's have taken care of business.

To be fair, the same can be said about the whole IT's sister situation, too. This is still probably a 5 game series if that wouldn't have happened. The team was clearly greatly burdened by all of the emotion in the first two games.

[Eja117]

Yeah. Amazingly enough Amir Johnson didn't even play. Tell me again how Randle wouldn't play on this team. I guess KO would keep him off the floor or something.

Was Amir Johnson a DNP?

Yes. Amir unfortunately doesnt have the skillset to help the team in this series with the small ball philosphy.

That Chicago coach is pretty bad.  Lopez was killing us, then he never returned.

THAKN YOU😂😂

Was Amir Johnson a DNP?

yep.

[MBunge]

Much more impressive win than game 3.  Bulls just sort of collapsed then.  They played hard until the end and made a big run but the Cs still held them off.

How many Julius Randle posters are in your room?

Amir didn't play because he can't defend Chicago's stretch 4s

Randle can't either.

Glad Brad read the adjustments thread here on cb.

Play Green, go small at 4 with Crowder/Jerebko.
