While I'm sure I'll get over it in an hour or so, god damn that was a **** rough loss. ****. What the **** is there to say really? We seriously **** up. Credit to the Rockets or whatever.

Next game is Monday, March 5th, @Chicago, 8:00pm EST

Let's destroy the Bulls.

A positive is Monroe is finding his way and we would definitely need him in the playoffs when the game slows down.

Great game, horrible loss. On to the next one.

For a team that was playing hopeless basketball just 2 or 3 weeks ago, the Celtics showed that they are slowly becoming elite. I'm extremely proud of this group, they gave Harden diarrhea.

Ugh. Lost streams for the 4th quarter. That was not a pleasant play-by-play watch.

I'm sure I'll consider it a silver lining game tomorrow - looked like we belong on the floor with a great team, which is awesome given how we looked going into the break - but right now it's just the raw feeling of letting one slip away...

Remain pretty pleased about the Monroe acquisition.

The four guys from the bench who saw action scored 67 points. It was their game, and they did on the road against the perhaps the best team in the NBA.

Blew that one big-time. Rozier getting stripped leading to the 3 while the Celtics up 5 (I think?) was the sequence that turned the game around.

Not even mad. This game was pretty **** encouraging.

A two minute stint like that ending concerns me with winning road playoff games.

Been on the positive Monroe train for awhile but can't say the same for Morris.

Happy with the effort. We play like this for the ROS we are in good shape going into the playoffs.

Agreed.
We went to the Wire, against the team with the Best Record in the league.

If everyone's upset we did not beat the team with the best record, there's hope for our team yet.

Smart stealing the ball, then turning it over right back, and him taking a contested, unnecessary, Smart hero ball shot with under two to go were worse.

Hey people were expecting Monroe to average 20/15 straight off the bat, takes time!

too bad we couldn't have subbed monroe for monroe in the 4th

GrandTheftRondo · Post #18 » by **GrandTheftRondo** » Sun Mar 4, 2018 4:15 am

Really tough way to end the game.

Horford was absolutely garbage. I’m normally not one to bash him but he was useless tonight. Couldn’t grab a rebound, barely did a thing offensively and was absolutely useless anytime someone drove at him. Was happy to concede baskets. Kyrie was bad as well.

Still, Houston are a very good team. But **** I cannot stand their style of play and Harden’s ridiculous attempts on almost every possession to get to the line. The Warriors will make a meal of them when it counts.

You guys proved you are the best team in the East. That may have been a finals preview.

It seems like we had a great number of turnovers off their turnovers, or off loose balls. Instead of securing the ball first, we were first off to the races.
