I honestly don't feel like we have played well or disciplined enough to win tonight. Please prove me wrong boys

A preview of the playoffs.

Points in the paint still matters.

People on this board have killed me for this. I will say they won’t win a back to back title playing this type of basketball. Last year it was pretty much balanced.

No clue why people get worked up about games KP doesn't play in. They are shooting like trash yet in this game and every loss was down to last minute this year. They are pretty good...

Big Man Vulnerability is an issue with this team. As long as Porzingis is healthy,
the weaknesses are covered, but observing a game like this one, and you see the decline in Horford and
Queta should only be used in Playoff blowouts. They could use another Center.

Unlikely to abandon you 4x in 7 with the personnel we have. Math gonna math.

Well...sort of. We'd have KP if this game mattered.

We know they are pretty good. Losing still sucks though. Especially to the bucks.

Mazzula ball bothered me last year. With a chip in the bag I don’t mind. Might even save some possible injuries from driving into contact. Lol

Only the playoffs matter this year. We will win enough games shooting 50 a game anyways. So meh.

Charles Lee can't possibly be a moderating voice since he brought the three-ball to Charlotte. They're 2nd in attempt rate.

Dang, really?

Their two stars LaMelo and Miller letting it fly.

The bucks and teams like golden state are like a boogeyman for this team. It’s mentally a struggle. Crappy shooting etc.

They’re at 44 attempts per, we should be so lucky, lol

I just checked nba.com and Boston is up to 51 3PTA on the season, lol. Okay, now that my objection is on the record, I’m gonna go back and cheer for the team, lol

You want MVP???

Tatum carrying this team hard in the 4th quarter

Lame time

ConstableGeneva · Post #295 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Sat Dec 7, 2024 2:44 am

JT showing the world he's the real MVP (if Jokic wasn't born).

I don’t think the bucks are all world. It’s about matchups and for some reason it’s a bad matchup for this team. It helps thought when you don’t shoot bricks all game long.

You gotta foul on the ground, get up and fall again to get a call! Bum refs!!

NYCelticsfan136 · Post #298 » by **NYCelticsfan136** » Sat Dec 7, 2024 2:44 am

This Celtics team has to get stops. Be clutch.

BRUNiNHO91 · Post #299 » by **BRUNiNHO91** » Sat Dec 7, 2024 2:44 am

JT is such a baller man. Yikes.

Maybe the boogeyman is in your head because Milwaukee hasn't won in Boston since 2018 and GSW got beat by 50, in the Garden, last season.
