rob doing good things on both ends of the floor.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Has trade deadline passed? Maybe we can trade for Mr. Clutch D’Aaron Fox heading into five minute mark.

It’s not rocket science play defense, secure rebounds, be aggressive and you’ll win.

Not defending, turning it over, letting them get 2nd chance points is not gonna win you many games.

We’ve sucked ass most of this games at least give maximum effort for these last 10 minutes

Nothing is easy for this Celtics team this season.

Everything is a struggle.

Maybe because you're not defending a single f****** shot especially with the drop cover

What an absolute pathetic comment that this idiot can make..


I’m almost seething over that one. “Great job keeping them off the line.”

Nothing is contested you actual moron


If keeping a team off the free throw line is considered good defense.. Then I can definitely be a good defender in the nba.. Just let my man score and never foul..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Wish he would be more up on the 76ers guard but that’s a Joe Mazzulla/Ime thing with the frustrating ass drop coverage.

Hard to play defense in today's rules.

Harden and the Sixers are just making shots even when the Celtics are contesting their shots.

Hand in the face and the Sixers are still making the shot.

Feel like they’re going to turn on the defense in the final 5 minutes. Just feels like they’re intentionally pacing themselves for whatever reason. The way they play doesn’t make any sense

One would think!

no, rob is not an offensive-minded player, i didn't think he'd feast. i mean, even in the games he has it lit on offense we're talking 15 points maybe. i dont know why we dont allow rob to do more offensively, wasted the years he needed to hone the skills he definitely has. we treat him like capella when he could be al.

Getting Smart out of the game,
is a boon not a bane for the Cs.

6 assists and 4 turnovers... You're not playing GS, Marcus,
hold on to the damn ball.

4th is about to be called much tighter so I guess we’ll see how long this amazing defense lasts
