There are no good losses
Kyrie the f**** will win here
No pride

Every loss shows other teams how to beat us
Here - just play fast, crash the boards and hit our players on offense to get TOs (or let them dribble on their foot)
ATL and IND play the same and give us trouble


You’re overreacting. It’s an 82 game season, relax Champ.

It'd be nice if we had a superstar that could carry us on nights where nobody seems to have it going...

I never really payed much attention to Craig. What's his game like?

Who gives a **** about Kyrie

He can enjoy his one regular season win

His team is going nowhere

When everyone plays like crap, it doesnt matter if you have one big or five on the floor. It’s not the bigs who keep turning the ball over or don’t keep their man in front of them.


Some teams intentionally pick on the Celtics bigs.


Maybe thats what he means when he says it works..works wonders for the opponents that’s for sure.

Numbers don't lie, my friend. But you don't care about such things so *shrug*.

Back to sucking and we didn’t make a move at the deadline. Holiday has clearly been hurt all year

Switched off

Going to enjoy watching Buck Rodgers in the 25th century blu ray series box set, which I got for my 45th birthday, just a bad day at the office all around.

As long as we bounce back and beat the Knicks I am fine

Something is just not right with this team this year. I will be surprised if they make the finals. I am just not seeing it right now.

Turnovers, Two-big lineups, and (vintage) Thompson killed them this game.

Pulling White in the 3rd Q, the only guy giving an effort for Hauser, was a brilliant move by our coach. Surely, the posters here don’t have coaching iq to pull off such a bold move.

They should be booed off the court.

The CBA/Apron Tax laws makes it impossible for us to have made any moves (significant or minor) at the deadline.

It sucks but that is all on Adam Silver and the NBA Commission, not our front office.

Hauser was cooked all night, now he wants to get stops, when the game is out of hand.

He’s been straight trash over the past few months. This roster needs a boost

NBA won't consider it but wish we had way less games in the regular season. Just way too many that players are just taking games off literally or figuratively. Even when most of them are getting paid handsomely. Most players are just eager to get into the postseason halfway thru the reg season.

Also this team is simply different when Jrue plays bad or isn’t playing.

We looked way better last game with him really playing hard defence
