PLAYOFFS - GAME-1: (8) Bulls @ (1) Celtics – 6:30PM, Sun. 04-16-17 – TNT/CSN

[The Corey's]

Get Thomas back in.

In an nutshell the problem with these team right there

[BleedGreen1989]

This team is lost without IT on the court.

Same story all season.

[LtsBrk IT4 Down]

Legit states earlier how marcus and Kelly are the keys to this game and they just put out HOT GARBAGE. Not to mention I'm not sure why al can't get position on any of these bums. You're telling me he can't post up on/close to the block? He could against us in the playoffs last year. Soft soft soft soft.

[ViperGTS]

bench is gonna have to step up. we need a damn bench PG!!!!

Will have one next year. Plus, Brown makes his first playoff shot, then doesn't get the ball in favor of Zeller, KO and Marucs Jordan.

I do question Brad sometimes and wonder if he remembers what it was like to coach those young kids at Butler. Doubt he benched them after one defensive mistake.

[BRUNiNHO91]

This bench is a steaming pile of ****.

Gerald is probably the best one for this kind of basketball and gets no play.

[Tyakack]

Its early, but so far not much of "the team stepping up for IT" storyline

You can only step up as much as your talent allows.

[Setshot33]

Waiting on Celtics History Lesson to come hype his boy Olynyk up again.

Maybe he can pull some more analytics on Kelly out of his posterior?

[sprash9802]

People thought this would be easy... this team isn't that good to take anyone lightly. And Danny is watching his selection of stiff bigs get their asses handed to them

[Captain_Caveman]

Man everyone is playing shaky except IT and Bradley. Bulls defense giving us a lot of trouble.

I think we are beating ourselves.

Super sloppy with the ball, taking bad shots, not boxing out, not rotating well.

[Valid]

Could you imagine if IT sat this one out?

We look like the worst team in playoffs this weekend and it's not even close. If we get by this round, we are going to get swept the next.

Knee-jerk reactions, Pt. 1.

[BillessuR6]

Olynyk was brutal!

We are turning the ball over and getting outrebounded...

We need to start playing better or this will quickly go the wrong way...

[GoCeltics123]

This bench has got to be the worst Celtics bench in 20+ years. The Bulls were shooting TERRIBLY and they still lead because this bench wouldn't cut it in the f****** D-League.

No matter what people say, the Celtics miss Evan Turner BADLY. No one has filled that role. Just despicable.

If they still win and it's because of IT saving us, after his sister died, that's so pathetic.

[BigTrade92]

Brad says he wants Isaiah to play 40 mins and he's on the bench while this team blows a lead...

[Green89]

Why's Abby wearing a vampire cape?

[SichtingLives]

So much for the supporting cast stepping up. Gotta get something from somebody fer chrissakes gimme some james young

[Smitty731]

Jackson should have gotten burn this season. Marcus can't score and every playoff coach knows it. Easy strategy for them to exploit when IT is out,

Jackson doesn't really shoot it all that great either though. Wouldn't have been any sort of upgrade on offense and the defense would have been far worse.

[3pt %]

Eh, it's essentially even and our starters are playing better than theirs.
That said, our bench is playing like ass.
Edit. Bradley!

[CelticsLV]

You're telling me he can't post up on/close to the block? He could against us in the playoffs last year. Soft soft soft soft.

Last season against us? You mean against that pathetic front court of ours?

[Celts17Pride]

If Brad Stevens is serious about winning then Olynyk shouldn't see the floor again

[bs_and_cs]

Brown is literally the only one on the bench who can score.

Yet he is literally always the first sub off. It's dumb.
