I bet if this was at the garden the green teamers still couldn't bring them selves to boo what their eyes are showing them. The last two games are **** other teams do would take a huge trolling from this board.

Like your blind optimism.

It's a lot of fun to watch games with friends who keep pulling for the team until the bitter end, rational or not.

There's plenty of time in the offseason for the tough, team-building conversations.

Brad's huddles sound like summer league chatS as we go down 0-2. Then blames the players on TV while the one big adjustment he makes in the quarter is inserting Semi.

You're mod, and you really resort to personal attacks? Really? Cool as a cue cumber. Just calling what I see. Back off.

I never referenced you. I just said I'd like to think Cs fans are tougher. You have given up, and I said bye. No personal attack, but nice try.
Passive aggression then semantics, handled. I don't believe you. But whatever you say man. Hope I'm wrong about this game. Fingers crossed.

It’s one thing if the other team is better than us but we just don’t have any energy and coach refuses to make any adjustments.

Call a spade a spade.

This starts with Brad, there is no way around it.

Let’s see if he can come up with something against the zone.

Celtics haven’t matched any of that.

Stevens has a right to be very upset. If Stevens doesn't have the personality to be an enforcer, he really needs an assistant to help him out or something since what happened in 3rd quarter and even first half is just unacceptable.

It is so unacceptable that Kyrie Irving must be laughing his a** off and say I wasn't the problem. Celtics can still win this game but you can't play such dumb/selfish down 1 game 0 and against a team that just beat the team that blew you out last year.

Many times teams blow leads... that is basketball but you can't make it easy for your opponent.

How do you know? Their wasn’t a push off and jones was hopping the entire time and ran into Olynyk. Plus it would have been an and 1. So yeah worth the challenge. Plus if it’s successful , you get another one.

I don't know. I would just save my challenge for the final few minutes of a close game. Of course he's wasting a challenge here because the refs are blind. Pretty bad job by Stevens and the refs right now.


To overturn the call on the court it has to be pretty definitive.

At best that's a 50/50 call and he would have lost that challenge.

Refs aren't overthrowing their calls without it being real obvious. They're humans and have human biases and an ego.

That's probably a foul on Smart in a fair world, but you got to love him eating pavement for a possession.
