From now on I think I'm just going to turn off any game Davis is reffing. He ruins any game he touches.

This team has to get their heads out of their you know what. I haven’t seen championship basketball from this team . Inconsistent shooting, lackadaisical defense. That 3rd quarter was an absolute joke. Frankly it seems like they have gotten big heads because they won a title and got the monkey off their back.

Were on pace to win 60+ games man, chill. This happens in an 82 game season.

It's pretty obvious the refs are invested in the outcome of this game.

OKC, ORL, and HOU should be Celtics standard for defense. We should be chasing that in the next 5 months.

Just gonna repeat myself again... It's not the amount of threes we take. It's the defense. Need to raise the level of our defense. ORL shouldn't have been scoring at will in the 2nd half, whether we make or miss our shots.

I love Horford, but that three-pointer was complete ass

Al Horford gtfo man. You should never shoot a clutch shot unless you’re completely open. Way to kill the game. Know your **** role

Horford blew the game there. He chucked up a brick instead of getting the ball back to Brown.
