and like we said before........the devil is in the details

performances

look again who has had the lead the majority of the series

we are not getting comsistent performances

Brad is not putting up a consistent rotation either. I don't get why he keeps rolling with a lineup that doesn't work.

[slamtheking]

What hurts more than this loss is that it clearly feels the Wizards have us figured out and will win the series because we have no answer for them and we are always trying to get back in each game in some way.

Just like the Bulls did on the first 2 games of the 1st round?

The Wizards made adjustments. We will too

How do we make adjustments to a pretty much useless Jae Crowder?

go hard for Hayward in free agency

we still have post problems

but that wasn't the question which was how do we make adjustments to Crowder.  of course, that doesn't help us right now

Yeah, just keep letting Smart shoot, Brad...

[CelticsElite]

Rozier!

[Fan from VT]

Tough one, but when you win nailbiters at home and lose big on the road, you are probably not the better team.

[Ogaju]

Brad needs to put on a tie until he learns how to call timeouts to stop 20-0 runs.

[liam]

Crowder, Smart, Bradley are 5-21,

Yeah, that really ticks me off, too. He has had zero level of consistency with his rotations this playoffs, especially this series. You never know who he's going to put in off the bench anymore.

Even if the Celtics lose tonight, there are 3 games, two in Boston. Plenty of game left.

I know, it just feels like our margin of improvement was much better against the Bulls.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

we need a mentally strong team on the road

we need offensive help and rebounding help badly this offseason

[jpotter33]

Ah, more offensive rebounds.

But we only want "skilled" bigs, right Danny?

[blink]

IT has been terrible this half. When they shut him down offensively he's just not worth being out there.

I agree multiple turnovers that turn into layups
When IT is bad he kills us.

[kraidstar]

I don't blame Brad.  The talent discrepancy b/w the teams is mind-boggling.  The Wiz aren't true contenders, yet better at every position (except Horford) in the starting 5.  Get help, Ainge -- you may "feel great" about where we are, but your feelings are far removed from reality.

Our ultimate opponent is the Warriors, not the Wizards.

Getting 'help' against the Wiz means nothing unless it helps us become a stud team that can beat Golden State.

This.

To be fair to him, too, he's got virtually no help outside of Al tonight either.
