Celtics (2-1) at Wizards (1-2) Round 2 Game 4 5/7/17

[slamtheking]

as much as the starters haven't gotten it done tonight, if I'm Brad, I'd leave them in the game to the end so they can reap the 'rewards' of the craptastic play tonight.  maybe that will drive the point home to them to play with some effort

I mean, after seeing this type of half-hearted effort way too often this season, do you think anything at this point is going to matter?

god no but I really don't think pulling them out will deliver a message either.  they played like scrubs so let them get the playing time the scrubs get

Going to be a long time until Tuesday.

Wednesday is next game and we need more rest. KG retreat anyone?

If this team had 2008 KG, we'd be in the Finals. No joke.

He'd literally solve all our remaining problems/needs.

Brown's length effects the game.

Keep in mind fellas, we still have the lottery.

Stepped away for a little bit to work on some shelves. Cs were down about 6.

Just came back and it's 106-81. Twenty-five-point deficit. TWENTY-FIVE.

This team is maddening.

24 minutes for Marcus Smart. 1 rebound

1 minute for Jaylen Brown. 1 rebound

I'm not sure where this hate for Smart is coming from. He hasn't played great offensively tonight, but he's never really great offensively. He's out there for his defense and playmaking. AB and Crowder have been way, way worse on both sides of the ball tonight, and they, along with Stevens, are the major factors in us losing tonight.

The dreaded offensive rebound bites us again. The too small Celtics were bulldozed by a bigger, longer, more reliable shooting team.

Again...IT is a defensive liability. If his scoring stutters in he least, he opens the flood gates for the opposing team.

Smart has played terrible these last two games. "Clunk" needs to find a way to score the ball well enough to justify his minutes. Marcus must hear the steps of Rozier closing in.

Might be drunk until Tuesday though

[Chief]

Celtics making Washington look like an historic team is embarrassing. Never been more embarrassed as a Celtics fan at any point in 30 plus years. 26-0 shouldn't even happen in high school. Even when the Celtics sucked in the 90's at least you expected it but to suck this bad in the playoffs against average Washington? Pathetic, DA has a ton of work to do this roster is far from competing for a title.

26-0 run happening on top of several abysmal 1st quarter performances should really question the coaching and his job security.

I dont think Stevens has as much talent as everyone else left in the playoffs. I won't judge him until Ainge upgrades the $20  million + he's spending on Amir and Zeller.

Rozier and Brown bringing energy....

we cam 1 quarter away from making the final with 2012 KG! much less 2010 or 2008

but yes he give us rebounding, rim protection, scoring and defense

[jpotter33]

Going to be a long time until Tuesday.

Is Brad going to start Jaylen or JJ on Tuesday?

Knowing him, probably Amir or Green again, even though it has continuously failed for him and makes zero sense.

So true! Can you imagine going back to bench huddle after giving up 26 straight points..KG would eat the players. Nobody would give that effort with his passion out there.

yet nobody answered my questions. howlong will we give young picks to pan out? what is our timeline? we are in year 4 of a complete rebuild.
