Horford like a statue guarding WCS.

Trade everybody.  This sucks. Not enjoyable.

Lol I remember arguing with people who thought Buddy was going to be a bust.

I think I thought that. You were right.

[Vox_Populi]

Horford has looked incredibly slow these last two games

Had a feeling about this game - it is a real indicator of where we are after the "Great Plane Ride" and the first three games in Cali. I thought the Clippers game was a bad sign, not because of the loss, but the margin. We were not competitive.

So far tonite looks like a return to form - play well a few games (We have turned the corner) - then back to struggling. Time to admit this team does not work, something fundamental is not right .......... players, coach, system, who knows ? Just hope Danny doesn't ruin this beautiful rebuild by going forward with blinders on. This season has been painful and it will all makes sense eventually, just wait.

Yeah, sorry, but down in the game with 4 minutes still to play in the first half, I am not giving up on them for this game, nevermind this whole year.

You are missing the point - this is the second game in a row Celts have come out flat and playing badly .............................. after yet another reported "turning point". It's a constant pattern this season. Whether we win a single game or not is secondary to the focus and energy we do or do not come out with on a consistent basis. Pulling out a game we should win easily does not bode well for the playoffs.

How much attention have you paid to the Kings this year? They're not an easy out

[SCeltic34]

Brad lets Hield drop 11 points in quick succession, and then a Fox layup before calling a time out.  Letting us get down by 13 before intervening.  OK then Brad.

[PAOBoston]

Two things I would like to happen this off-season:

Trade for Anthony Davis

Trade Brad for Doc

Give Brad a chance to coach a team with a big man like Anthony Davis.

I agree. You can not expect every year to be a better year than the year before. Stevens ran into stuff he had never experienced before with the team this year. He is, in many ways, still learning. He still has not reached his ceiling as a coach. Let him grow as you would a #1 pick.

It doesn’t take a genius to call a timeout when you see the other team going on a massive run.

Hield killed us with 11 points in the last 3 min and 2 from Fox getting to the rim easily. Really need to wake up defensively

[CelticSooner]

Tip your cap to Buddy Buckets. What a shooter.

[gouki88]

Brad exemplifying his masterful ability to call t/o's a minute too late

[bopna]

Hield is going to be an Allstar in this league before  Tatum or Brown will ever be.

He is schoing every single player we have...

[apc]

Thanks for the TO Brad

Horford like a statue guarding WCS.

Horford has definitely looked old as crap the last two games against the young bigs. It's like he's got cinder blocks on his feet.

[jambr380]

Per usual, about three to four possessions too late on the timeout, Brad. 

Yeah, not only should there have been a TO to cool off Hield and get the D to re-group, but they need to have a better offense than Smart missing 3s and lay-ups. Hield just went Curry on us - that was one of the fastest turnarounds I have ever seen.

Edit: and for some reason, Smart gets a 3 out of the timeout...and makes it! What do I know?

Horford definitely been bad defensively this game

Brown should be on Hield...
