He stood on defense and would not run out to the shooter multiple times.

Good effort on the comeback. Too little effort earlier. I think the Celtics struggle with effort against young teams.

Well, we should have shown up before there were only 6 minutes left to go in the game.

Waited too long to play defense. Good effort to close it though against a very good team on the road.

I wouldn’t say it cost the game since we had some stinkers on the team today but the close outs were a bit lazy and they hurt

I actually like not calling it there.

You’re more likely to need it on a last possession type of situation.


No, they wasted over 8 of the 12 seconds left. 5 of those seconds driving it across half court.

Game was lost then pretty much. All those wide open threes killed them.

Losing with dignity is fine I suppose. I hope they’re not content with going down 18

Refs were the difference
