LOL

To be fair, the Celtics did not play well...at all. If anything it was a team loss.

Celtics gave this one away, up 5 with the ball down the stretch and just let it go

So much for "Irving will be a different player under Stevens"

He's got a ways to go...

If you mean competing with the Warriors for a championship, we're light-years away.

Yeah because they didn’t beat the Warriors this season right? Get out of here with the light year Bs.

I think Brad made some bad decisions with the rotations. Rozier was struggling all night and he played the entire 4th quarter.

L goes mostly to Brad and Kyrie to a lesser extent

Some closer.......

They don't move on offense.

They don't move down the stretch in any game.

Brad dusts off Doc's late game playbook almost every night.

Brad: Pierce ISO....Hmmm...let me just change that to Kyrie ISO and let everyone stand around and watch.

Gotta fix that if this team wants to do anything meaningful.

It will look different with Hayward.

Too much time off, got to get the killer instinct back. It will be back now.

say what you want, our iso ball hurt us. isos by smart and kyrie. you cant take away from AD but even with what he did we gave the game away. LESSON.

Lots of crazy overreaction in this thread. No one NEEDS to go lol. But a bad game all around.

It’s okay to admit he sucked today.

We had a 5 point lead with 2 minutes left then totally crapped our pants. This wasn’t about AD so much was it about us sucking late.

Bar Fight · Post #1196 » by **Bar Fight** » Wed Jan 17, 2018 3:12 am

Don't really care. We have a solid cushion at 1st and we win this game with AD going off if not for inexplicable, stupid offense down the stretch. Can't win 'em all.

This game was honestly on Brad. He played rozier Theis and Smart way too long and left Tatum and Brown on Bench. Made zero sense and cost the Cs the game.

WTF. I'm one of the biggest IT homer, but Kyrie has been fantastic in the Celtics. He's playing his most efficient basketball in years.

Ben-N1ce · Post #1199 » by **Ben-N1ce** » Wed Jan 17, 2018 3:13 am

They had plenty of chances. Pretty much 10 minutes straight of bad offensive possessions to end the game.

Post #1200 » by **K For Three** » Wed Jan 17, 2018 3:13 am

At least it was New Orleans and not a team you can feel like can rub it in or something. We have no rivalry with them.

But Rondo haunts us.........yikes.
