True that.

And what's worse is White is apparently getting the sacred cow treatment after going 0-8.

Bucks gain a game. They're rocking the Pels right now.

Porzingis makes this team look elite imo.

Jaylen 3-11 on 2’s, White 0-4 on 2’s, Holiday 1-4 on 2’s. They missed wide open threes on-top of it, but they just couldn’t hit anything.

It was just like the Nuggets scoring 84 against the Knicks the other day, a freak cold shooting game for most of the team.

KP is going to help lead us to the promised land, but he was the only guy with rest before we got shellacked by the bucks, and he looked as terrible as everyone else.

Make nothing against real teams and lose.

Lost to OKC, scraped by Minny at home in OT, demolished by the Bucks, lost to Denver, lost to Clippers.

This is the Al Horford Hawks all over again.


May as well quit the season, apparently we’re not allowed to lose games to the best teams in the league.


1-4 against the top 4 in the West.

When talent is somewhat evened out this team loses.


That’s why we have the best record in the league even though we’ve had one of the toughest schedules …

January has always been bad for the Celtics.

Even the 2008 Celtics team lost 5 games in January.

Read on Twitter

Cs so used to mismatch hunting offense that they become stagnant when there's no one to exploit.

I'd rather have a bunch of guys have an off night and get blown out and then 2 guys stink it up one night and then another 2 guys stink it up the next night.

Delete the video file. Move on.

96 tonight, 100 vs the Nuggets and 102 in the ass whupping vs the Bucks. Almost seems like every tough game they can’t hit anything…

Celtics only need to beat one team in the west for the Celtics to win a championship.

What's important is the Celtics beat the top teams in the east.

Can't get to the finals if you don't win the east.

What's the Celtic record against the top teams in the east?

Look around the league. The same thing has happened to the Thunder, to the Nuggets, to the Wolves, etc.

Nothing in the regular season will tell us anything about this team.

Adding to the Jrue Holiday playing like ass against elite teams as of late:

Okc 2-8 for 7 points

Timberwolves 5-15 for 12 points

Nuggets 3-7 for 7 points

Clippers 2-11 for 7 points

Man needs to stop being a front runner against bad competition and play better when we need him most against the best of the best

Jaylen Brown similarly has been ass aside from the Timberwolves game:

Okc 4-18 for 15 points

Timberwolves 9-16 for 35 points (amazing game)

Bucks 5-14 for 10 points

Nuggets 6-19 for 13 points

Clippers 3-13 for 8 points

Holiday and Brown are the 2 guys along with Horford to some extent since he’s a role player now I
just don’t trust enough come playoff time.

Oh and Derrick white has also been ass during that stretch as well besides the nuggets game

Tatum and Porzingis are clearly the 2 best and most impactful players on the team.

I hate to see terrible play just as much as anyone, but sometimes it feels like people expect us to walk through this season no matter what happens. We got outplayed tonight, no doubt about it, I don't want to see it again but I likely will.

Teams are very good, and we have been the best so far, let's all keep hoping it remains that way until the end after we work out a few more kinks.

That’s why we have the best record in the league even though we’ve had one of the toughest schedules …


1-1 vs Bucks
2-1 vs Sixers
0-1 vs OKC
1-1 vs Clippers
0-1 vs Nuggets
1-1 vs the Wolves

Below .500 on games vs teams that matter.

So when the argument fits, Spo’s Heat are someone that matter and we should worry about, but now they aren’t a team that matters? Then we wouldn’t have the fun under .500 factoid.

That's being selective.

You're really going to leave out the Knicks and Cavs when the Knicks are 12 games over .500 and the Cavs are 11 games over .500?

And yes, the Heat!

Weren't a lot of you guys are so afraid of Heat Agriculture?

The Heat are a team that could beat the Cs in the playoffs, right?

What's the Celtic record versus the Heat?
