This loss is pretty unacceptable. Losing to the 8th seed. Not a good look. We knew coming in that we needed to stop their rebounding, and we didn't do it.

Bad loss. We played awful. Stevens also blew it IMO when he put Brown on Butler with 2 mins left in 3rd Q. Got 2 easiest buckets of night and got it going, never looked back.

Olynk, Crowder and Amir all were no shows.

They match up better. I don't think you can deny that. This was a bad bad matchup for Boston. And the Raps are a better team than Boston. I'll cite the waxing they gave the Celtics all season long.

So the regular season only matters when you want it to?


Would you rather me focus on this teams Post Season resume?

Horford was great. Problem is everyone else sucked.

When they called the tech on IT...my heart just sunk....I don't always believe the entire donaghy conspiracy... but that was a beautiful display of how just a few ticky calls can change the entire game. A tech like that is discretionary and that was total BS.

It's all short-term thinking.

Like Ainge is too stupid to realize we need more rebounding??? Do you really believe this? Come on; jesus... if everyone on realgm knows, I suspect Ainge knows.

However, you have to make good moves for the team for the long term. That's how championship contenders are build -- not by patching a Frankenstein arm rebounder onto this freak of a team.


You say that then it boggles the mind as to why Ainge signed Horford and didn't tank until this year. It doesn't make sense at all if the organization was shooting for 3 straight first round exits.

Horford is an amazing player. Far from a Frankenstein arm scenario. On top of it, Horford was the first domino in the Horford->Durant power play... Context is important.

2-9 in the postseason now. Guys gotta look in the mirror and realize that you can't play 11 guys or all bench lineups in the playoffs. It's not the NCAA where coaching and effort makes a difference. Talent wins. Ride the horses that got you here.


He gets a pass for 8 of those loses cause they didn't really deserve to win or had the talent.

But tonight wad unacceptable. Brad has to take some of the blame for how flat this team was and Ainge gotta take ALOT of blame for putting together a group of guards and no one to rebound


We were able to make an adjustment to stop the bleeding on the boards...but not until WAAAAAAAY too late. That's on the players but it's also on Brad.

All I'll say is even a 60 year old KG and Pierce would not have let this happen. Not this night. Embarrassing.

We apologize, IT.

can we show up outside of crowder's house with pitchforks in hand tonight or do we have to wait until we get swept?
