This team peaked 2 weeks ago. I'm going to go out on a small limb and say teams that lose 5 out of 6 games in the last couple of weeks of the season rarely make long playoff runs. Harden looks like the harden that ended last year. Honestly the best thing for this team is short playoff run. Flush out doc.

Down 5... Could be worse.
Here it is; We are the better team, they have nobody to protect the rim. All we have to do is play defense and attack them in the paint with Jo. Also....Run on them a little. They're bad at getting back on defense. There's a reason they're so mediocre. We should win this. Still... It's Luka, and Kyrie and it seems as though the great ones always beat us.

My point is, just a random statement, the Celtics have barely play above .500 since the all-star break and there are little doubts about them.

Yeah, the team is in a slump, i think most likely we lose in the second round. But is not because we randomly lost 5 out of 6 (which hasn't even happened yet) when we played for 2 weeks on the road.

Kendrick Perkins and his horrible basketball analysis. That man is a full blown buffoon.

As opposed to who? They're all buffoons, every one of them.

The only analyst I've heard in ages worth a damn has been Jay Wright during the NCAA's, but unfortunately he's surrounded by buffoons as well. The rest are self promoting blowhards, both college and NBA.

I'm sure the same goes for Embiid. Before Glenn was pounding them chasing the 1 or 2 seed, now he's afraid of dropping to #4.

They keep getting us with these second chance threes. We're not keeping focused. 4th quarter maybe? Jesus we look sluggish tonight.

Random but Jaden Hardy's name is too similar to James Harden. I have to do a double take every time I see him score in the play-by-play lol.

For real. Even last Summer, I was hoping the Rockets or 76ers drafted him purely because of his name.

What a crappy way to end the quarter. It'd be nice if James Harden could give us something in the 4th.

I would welcome the doghouse for the first time, he can stay there with Shake.

Play House, at this point it cannot be worse.
