Celtics missed a chance

[KGBirdBias]

Too much holding the ball, too much one on one. Why do we throw the ball to the smallest guy on the court for a tough double team shot at the end.

We got nothing from the bench. We missed an opportunity. Too many crazy 2nd shots.

The Wiz were trying to give us the game and we didn't want it.

To say the wizards gave us the game and we didn't want it is dumb.  We made two HUGE shots to give ourselves the game, the wizards just had enough time and John wall made a great shot.  It happens!!

If we gave away this game then they gave away both games 1 and 2.  It's a 48 minute game and everyone know it before tip off.

We had a 5 point lead with just over a minute left and just had a charge call going our way. We have to milk that possession and either get a bucket or foul.

Um, they double IT right away and created a turnover.  Sure, wish that had not happened but it did.

Shouldve called a timeout, bring aomeone in for smart and get a good shot. Instead they gave up a to and a three.

I agree IT had two terrible possessions in a row.  The bad TO on the double team and shooting a terrible 3 with wall in his face that got blocked.  Hero Ball

Way too many mistakes down the stretch to win this one obviously. Smart was awful, Thomas was more awful than good, Rozier went back to regular season form, Brown couldn't knock down any one of his wipe open threes. Just a pitiful performance all over.

Only bright sides were Horford and Bradley once again. Hopefully​ they can keep it up for one more game, I don't think IT is going to have any more game 2 performances in him this series.

Shot clock was winding down on that hot. Plus he was blitzed, its his teammates that didnt help him. Smart should went to the ball earlier and harder. Brad shouldve called a timeout.

Did this game remind anyone else of Game 6 of the Orlando series in '09? We were up 3-2 and on the road, and it felt like we gave that game away. I still think we win on Monday, but if not, tonight's game will be tough to swallow.

This game was Lost on the defensive glass...so many offensive rebounds by Morris and Gortat...I blame this season long disease on this loss.

Good point. Almost have to go offense/defense with subs, given our guard rotation. Brad still learning.

Giving me those feels of that 2009 Orlando series. And the 2012 Miami series.

Better hope John Wall doesn't go super saiyan mode like lebron did.
