Can't have an incomplete team and expect to win every game.


Luckily it matters more that they win in May than in January.

True.

Just sucks for the fans, especially those who are paying to see the Celtics play.

Really gotta hope Porzingis stays healthy for the playoffs. Otherwise it’s over relying on the Jays again.

This is it!

It's either the Cs fold early or they fight and get a close win.

Jrue’s offense is garbage lol. Just stop taking these hero shots. Your role should be like Horford just take the shots they give you when it’s open. White is the one that im disappointed to see still struggling. Nothing from Hauser so far.

Miss Porzingis badly. These are how games are gonna be like in the playoffs, and you bet the Heat are gonna do what the wolves are doing but better. At least we have Porzingis this time which is gonna make a massive difference because Al as the main big is nowhere near good enough

They are doing nothing if KP isn't healthy.

Play after play, its repeated. They get a call driving to the line, we do the same **** and get nothing. **** those refs. C'mon!!!! Minnesota is a sorry **** ass franchise!!


Make-up calls? After 3 quarters, each team has 17 FTs.

No team should ever expect to win *every* game. C'mon now..
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Well that’s hardly surprising.

It’s like expecting last season to win with Smart not there.

Joe seems like a really good coach with the exception of the most visible aspect of coaching - game management, in which he flat out sux

They're lucky the Wolves have been bricking their last few shots, otherwise this would have been a blowout already.
