I watch this garbage every night except when I was boycotting the team for a while over Mark not playing.

Wife is out so I'm either doing that or streaming a concert. Probs both, turning off if / when it gets out of hand


Been gifted viewing rights until we're down by 15.


Down 14. Wife looking at the scoreboard, looking at me.

I like Cliff and think he's a good guy. He's just simply not qualified to be a head coach in the current NBA.

That said, Boston could pull up from 70 on five straight possessions, and they'd knock down at least four. A lot of those threes were smothered shots that wouldn't go in if this were 2K.

Mark Williams looking excellent, though.

The Celtics have been a team for 77 years.

They've played 6,005 game.

12,011 halves of basketball.

They made more threes in the first half tonight than any other half in their history

I was hoping the team would play better than this, since it was ESPN.

Its pretty clear they have quit on Clifford, don't know how you can bring him back. Will MJ pay three coaches though?

At least Mark's looked solid. Sick pass to Melo for the dunk, 11 pt 11 reb double double mid 3rd Q!

It will never happen but I'd be down to fire Cliff and bring Borrego back assuming he's getting paid in 2023-2024 anyway. But I doubt it's kosher with the rules. I was never that down on JB to begin with though, guy had his flaws (no discipline, no one accountable on defense) but at we were winning more each year under his guidance.

Admirable mid to end of the 3rd Q play. Making it somewhat respectable before they go nuclear in the 4th Q lol.

I just don't understand how in today's NBA an NBA team can install a defensive gameplan to let them take 45 open 3's and dare them to make it. They have taken 45 threes. 45. Because it's open every time.

Was a problem with Borrego too. I'm an SU grad/fan for life so it's similar for me watching Boeheim refuse to go away from the 2-3 zone as shooting has become more and more of a factor in modern basketball.

I don't think there's a difference between Sam Hauser and Gordon Hayward. Hauser might be a better shooter at this point

The Celtics have not attempted a 2 this quarter it feels like

Hornets played hard and made it fairly respectable in the fourth.
