Celtics (2-0) at Wizards (0-2) Round 2 Game 3 5/3/17

[BitterJim]

This game is demoralizing.

This series is going to be over if the Celtics lose by 20+ again in Game 4 and not in a good way. The C's let the Wizards' toughness get to them.

Just like the first round was over after we lost two games at home?

So, apparently Brad wasn't done with this dumb starting lineup, even with as terrible as it has been.

I find Brad to be a pretty smart guy.  Surprised you call him 'dumb' so often throughout the course of a game.  Game after game.

He plays with a long view in mind; develops talent and motivates young players to grow into better versions of themselves.  Not many like him in the NBA, I'm grateful we have him.

Never called Brad dumb, but he does make dumb rotation decisions at times. He's started the wrong person all three games this series so far and has yet to adjust properly to it. We're getting murdered on the boards once again, yet he continues to go small, even when it's not working to overcome that deficit with his shooting.

I'll never understand this notion on Celticsblog that Brad is not able to be critiqued.

i love CBS but even he makes mistakes. i pointed this out earlier

Literally every coach makes mistakes. None are perfect.

Why compare any coach to perfection?

This dude would still be whining if Popovich were coaching, which is foolish.

Acting like you know something a great coach like that doesn't know is just ridiculous.

We didn't lose this game, nor do we lose many, because of coaching.

It drives me nuts when people act as if any coach should be perfect, especially when they are one of the best coaches in the league.

Put in Brown and Rozier. There's nothing to lose at this point.

agreed. let's at least see some progres from others. let's work on some performnces for somebody to build on next game

LOLZ

[SparzWizard]

Al Horford....only 8 points and 1 rebound for a max contract player??? Lol sounds like the Game 2 from the Bulls series.

I think the Cavs lose game threein toronto also.

Do you think if you asked him why he did that he wouldn't have a reason?

How do you know he started.the wrong guy?

That is what I am talking about. you critize him, when you have no idea why he makes those decisions.

You really ought to give the best coaches in the league the benefit of the doubt. Seriously, they know what they are doing, even if you don't understand it.

Oh please.. without Horford we aren't even here right now.

This is his second bad game, but he's stepped up big time in all of the others.

[liam]

Kelly is not playing either, Brad is riding the starters and Smart to no result...

[mctyson]

Just a complete no-show.  Not sure why but it is.

[PAOBoston]

He's got more pts that IT.

Team stinks in general tonight.

[Phantom255x]

Only real bright side I can see is, there is two days off until Game 4.

Plenty of time for the C's to rest up, regroup and hopefully come out fighting...

[celticinorlando]

Sooner or later getting down 17 plus in a game will cost you. That night is tonight
