That was pretty neat by Holiday he was forced to take a dribble and he couldn't touch it so he tried to block around the ball lol

Your team is struggling to beat the Cavs without Mitchell at the moment and you're acting like they're world beaters. :lol:

Boston, the only team expected to win every game by 50 points or it’s a giant failure.

Ridiculous.


These same people are mesmerized by Edwards going off for 44 yesterday in a loss while only having 5 assist.

Scoring isn't the only way to quantify success.

Why couldn't he touch it?

They got Heat with no Butler and Rozier now Cavs with no Jarrett Allen and this game Donovan Mitchell. Nobody's impressed by what they've done so far other than Celtic fans.

Would be a self pass travel. He attempted to shoot but changed his mind mid air.

It's so bad. If Orlando was officiated against us like we are against Boston, they would have run out of players.

Holiday bodying people up but LeVert barely touches Prichard.....PRICHARD.....and gets called for a reach in. Tatum and Brown getting regular season calls and ghost calls. So so so bad.

If Tristan Thompson is getting Major Playoff minutes guarding Tatum lol

Celtics lost to the Heat last year.

So last year they take **** for losing to a inferior roster. This year they take heat because they handled a inferior roster.

Lol.

Take it from a Celtics fan. Rozier ain't ****. Especially now.

Double dribble, i assume. Since he left the floor and last touched the ball mid air.

They spend a helluva lot of time playing with their food for a team that hasn’t won anything

They’re really good but history shows that you can’t always turn it on whenever you feel like it

You just admitted Denver is the only team that can beat your Celtics, now you're ragging on Ant who scored 44 and had no teammate score more than 15 against them. Have some consistency.

We know this team is about wheher they win the title or not. Nobody is going to care what they did the fisrt 2 rounds if they win it all just like no one cares Atl took 66 win Bos to 7 in 08. The playoffs is also about getting better each round

Just one game but he just had 12 and 10 in the previous 2.


He’s a good system player.

He was good in San Antonio

Outside of Mobley playing 48 minutes, who do you suggest should play?
