Celtics (20-13) at Rockets (18-15) Game #34 12/27/18

[Phantom255x]

22-7 run to end the half. THAT was Celtics basketball the final 8 minutes of the 2nd!

Chris Webber is terrible to listen to and he loves The Rockets....

Much better end to the 2nd than end to the 1st (and beginning of 2nd). Loving the effort from these guys!

Lol where the F was that foul on Smart?? Seriously, these refs are ATROCIOUS. They literally are getting nearly every call wrong here. My God, how incompetent can you be??

Kind-of - we have had some fortunate Tech calls, though.

Oh no, we've been on the beneficial end of several bad calls tonight. They've been really, really bad both ways, whether that be fouls, out of bounds calls, or technicals.

Houston cooled off and Boston began to make the effort plays. Hopefully that continues because Houston are going to get to the line in the second half. That's just the way these things go.

[Neurotic Guy]

Just to mention it, because if it went the other way we'd have 2 pages on it -- but Jaylen Brown played well.

Please Brad never play Rozzier and Hayward together—- at least not together with the entire second unit.  Combined, they are atrocious.  Terry is fearless, and Hayward lacks aggressiveness....resulting on the wrong guy making decisions/ taking shots.

Too true...

It continues to be hard for me to believe that Gordon won't come around. 

I still believe.

Yeah he was great in the 1st half.  Getting up in Harden's face on def, looking balanced on offense.

Houston is a one truck pony.  Especially when CP3 is out.  Can’t see why coaches don’t double team Harden hard and furious more often.

[SCeltic34]

So Harden gets to blatantly walk in front of the refs now??

It's been that way for a while....

agree with sir charlie ,  Celtics need to go at Harden much as possible ,  make him use energy on both ends .   

[Chef Parish]

The refs are so bad tonight, they actually called an offensive foul on Charles Barkley's cutout in the TNT studios.

[The Oracle]

Jaylen played really solid.  He stayed within himself and didn't force things.  His mentality and effort on defense was there also.  Good to see.

KI misses one everyone was sure he'd make and Marcus hits one everyone thought he'd miss.

not me, i expect him to make every shot this year...weird
