Celts Can't Dip The Nuggets! Loss vs DEN 1/19

[bisme37]

Crap you guys I wanted to win that one! UGH!!

I thought the C's played with good energy and did a lot of things right. But I didn't love the shot selection, we missed a ton of 3's, and we just had a few too many empty possessions in the 2nd half. In the end it was two top teams going at it and unfortunately the Nuggets came away with the win.

It sucked but what am I going to do about? The season rolls on!

Rockets Sunday, Go C's!

We’ll get em at Mile High

2 best players on the court were not wearing green.

[Captain_Caveman]

We need one more guy. Hauser is a zero in the real games.

[bfchs123]

Idk what Joe does during the TOs - two awful "plays" to end it. The Tatum iso is such a bad move, never works. No one knows how to cut to the basket?

Also Joe seemed asleep at the wheel the last 5 min. Why not challenge the KP offensive foul? (among other potential challenges) instead it just sat in his pocket

[WeLikeOurGuys]

Tatum and Brown flat out sucked tonight. I wanted anyone but JT to take that final shot tonight.

[itrsteve]

Stating the obvious, but if we were going to blow a historic streak then this is the most admirable way to go down against the ideal competitor.

[Bar Fight]

Yeah, we better hope we catch fire and blow teams out 16 times in the Playoffs. Team ain't winning no close games against elite teams. Just not a clutch bone in JT, JB, Joe, Jrue, KP's bodies. White should take those end of game shots every time at this point

[zoyathedestroya]

Brad can give them all the help allowed by the CBA, but if JT and JB can't grow a brain, we won't win high level bball. They were too hesitant and too slow making decisions. Too much settling and going back to old bad habits against defensive pressure.

Murray and Jokic proved why they're champs.

Only positive thing I can take out of tonight is this is game #42 and we have time to get better. Hopefully enough time for slow learners.

I REALLY wanted that win. More importantly, I wanted us to execute well esp in the clutch. 0-2 there.

I've been cautioning this group for a long time about the performance of Hauser, Pritch and Kornet against Miami, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Denver, the Clippers, Minnesota and OKC.

Tonight was an example of what I was referring to.

Very disappointed that with all the coaching we brought in around him, we still can't get end of big, close games right.

The bench is pretty much filler aside from Horford. Need some ring chasers to get bought out lol

Nelson mandela has stated, "i never lose. I either win or I learn something".

The question is what should boston learn..

But, by all rights, they should have collectively had more than 5 shots. They were 3-5.

Why the hell doesn't this team get them more shots?

Everyone forgets the playoff game winners after a meaningless regular season loss.

Combined 2/17 from deep

[RB34]

Our end of quarter and end of game plays keep costing us. I don’t know how the coaching staff hasn’t done something about it.

Constantly chucking up horrible 2-1’s that come back to bite us.

JB was horrible.

Thought the bench was decent in the limited minutes they had.

[zoyathedestroya]

Hauser didn't play the 4th, let alone in the clutch. Kornet and Pritchard were also on the bench when JT and co. pooped the bed to close the game. Unless we were hoping for a blowout with the help of that imaginary 8th/9th guy?

JT had a Playoff game winning layup in Game 1 of the first round. When has JB had a Playoff game winner?

[bigfoot_cryptozoology]

Cave,100 percent correct. They need a scorer off the bench, can't have this happen in the Playoffs and Finals - might not get to the
Finals.
