Rob still being babied with minutes.

he's ****. it will come out, trust me. Boston used him to try to win banner 18.

If true. We're screwed.

They ruined his knee trying to win the finals, on purpose. Doctors should have put a stop to a guy who was **** hobbling out there, no idea how they were greenlighting him.

I've been sick since I was 8 years old... these **** "doctors" have lost my records, lied to me, violated me, done the wrong treatments etc since I was 13 and I have no recourse, they are THAT powerful. They are KILLING me. I can't even hold my head up. To me, this was clear medical malpractice letting him hobble out there. My guess is they knew his knee was pretty much **** and used whatever he had left to try to win. I have a very rare childhood illness and they care more about covering their own ass because of a number of legal issues. They will do anything in their own interests, they are **** sketchy.

I have no doubt Wyc did everything he could to get doctor so and so to greenlight him because it was the one chance the **** had to win it all and score big on his franchise. **** the Boston elite.

I would not be surprised if they ramp up his minutes and he goes down real quick

JB honoring former teammate Aaron though he got the spelling wrong.

Read on Twitter

Jaylen needs to chill out a bit.

Are we sure it wasn't Doctor Naismith he was talking about??

Naah, it's Aaron Nesmith.

It's pretty wild how dramatic some of you guys are

In other words, we are the true Celtic Fans....we are not used to a "lost culture"

I have no idea what that means.

But no...I don't think being overly dramatic about every loss makes anyone a "true fan". They're going to win the series. The Atlanta bench shot out of their minds, and it was still a pretty close game.

Are you unaware of his injury history? New to following the team?

I'd rather play it safe and watch his minutes and actually have him available and healthy when the games count the most in the conference finals and NBA finals. I'd rather not play him too many minutes and then he gets hurt in the 1st round and we lose him for the rest of the playoffs.

The playoffs are a marathon - not a sprint. We're playing the long game with him.

OK skippy.

But the reason they hit that is because we let them walk into the paint at WILL. Easy kick outs all night long. In the 4th 90% of their buckets were on high pick and rolls with Trae and Murray getting little bunny mid range jumpers as Al and Rob sat under the basket and our guards got picked off..Once we changed up it was too **** late..just awful. Awful.

I understand what they ran. I'm tellin you, that bench will never go 13/14 in a half again. They will never shoot that well again.

Who cares about that? The problem is they did today and they **** won a game they had no business winning because we let them do it.

They won a game? Did they?? They won a game?? Heavens no!!!

What will the rest of the league think of us?

This game is going to say a lot about coach Mazzula by how the team plays and if he is going to be able to make the proper adjustments. I'm confident in the coach.

Keys to the game (no surprise) :

1. Play better defense.
2. Play with more energy.
3. Battle on the boards.

Also, if Rob plays like he has in games 2 and 3, with little energy, no defense and having a hard time moving around and getting to rebounds, then I wouldn't mind seeing Blake in the 2nd half instead of Rob. Rob hasn't looked right in the last two games, hope is feels much better physically for this game.
