Post-Game Notes: POR 129, BOS 119 (34-31)

[KingofTheClay]

Browns a pathetic defender and a Andrew Wiggins/Rudy Gay type black hole on offense. His passing is worse than my Grandad’s.

This team got way better with Brown likely done for the season. Addiction by subtraction.

Tatum dropped 33 on 19 shots, which was great. The 5 assists were good, the turnovers and getting lost on defense a handful of times were less good lol.

Blazers basically took the ball out of his hands in the second half, and the offense had a hard time adjusting, himself included. The defense was bad almost across the board, and Jaylen is really struggling.

Hope the Jays are okay, I’m sure they are. Two days off before the next game, I’m not too worried.

I'm not worried about Tatum but Brown hopped off the court then he was being helped back to the locker room. I'm not sure I would expect brown back anytime soon because if this team makes the playoffs they're going to need him healthy.

Brad can't even get challenges right. Easily his worst coached year as a Celtic coach.

[Ben-N1ce]

Smart and Jaylen need to put the ball in the hoop taking that many shots. Simply not good enough.

Wait, what is going on with Brown and Tatum both injured? What have I missed

[31to6]

Can't wait to make a play-in game and have most of our top guys injured for it.

JB could be out multiple weeks with that ankle. Hopefully he didn't splinter Tatum's tibia.

Tip of the cap to the Blazers tonight, they're always tough and play well together.

And kudos to Nesmith, Pritchard, Fournier, and mostly Rob for playing so well tonight.

Rumor has it Jabari Parker slapped Brad in front of everyone and called him "a little bitch", doubt we'll see him again in green. If you are a Boston journalist reading this please take this and run with it, I'm a credible source here everyone knows my bonafides.

Tristan was -20 in 23 minutes
Timelord was +13 in 24 minutes

Anyone can see that the offense runs much smoother with RW3 in there, yet Brad is somehow back to starting TT

It looks like the deal is center by committee going forward, dictated by matchups. But yes, I'd play Timelord the 48 minutes if that was humanely possible.

I think the officials are just making **** up to be honest. Clearly they had no clue what they were doing tonight

I think bisme said it before the game, but damn I hate two days off after a loss

The video replay showing Brown putting weight on Tatum's leg, causing it to bend and buckle awkwardly is still very concerning.

[SuperDeluxe]

The refs' gong show started with that 100%-legit putback by Tristan. Everything went to hell from there.

[Patsfan1081]

AOS to Smart and his 4/14, and the costly ejection. Launching deep threes when he's ice cold, when we would have gone to the line with another foul.

It doesn’t feel like this team knows how to run the hot hand if it’s not one of the Jays.......Brad has to write up plays for Nesmith just to get the kid a open look, it shouldn’t be that way. If they moved the ball all around th court they would eventually get a decent look for a shooter.

I'm just basing it off the fact that Brown needed help off the court and Tatum could go under his own power. Of course that doesn't really mean a whole lot but that's how I'm viewing it.

What’s there to be concerned?

This team improves tenfold once we let Brown sit on the bench and keep it warm for Nesmith and Fournier.

The guy is a black hole on offense and the worst team defender in (W)NBA/NCAA history.

Ideally he’s traded (along with Smart) but Danny is dumber than a rock.

Brad should have played Nesmith to finish the game. The defense was not great, to begin with, but was even worse when he and Romeo went out. Blazers had back-to-back wide-open 3 pointers as soon as he went out. I could be wrong but it feels like Brad is really bad at in-game adjustments.

How about starting him so we don’t begin every game down 10?

Danny had to trade Theis to get RW3 in the lineup more regularly and Brad is still trying to find reasons to play Tristan instead.

Feel the same about Semi vs. Nesmith. Took 60 games for him to finally play Nesmith over Semi when anyone who watches this team knows that Semi shouldn’t be a regular rotation guy.

That stoppage on the Nurkic/Smart collision was surreal.
I really thought they might just walk away and leave everyone to come to terms with the fact that the game was over.

I will say this, if that wasn't Smart, no WAY that review gets started or has the outcome that it did. I was defending homeboy recently, but damn that's a bad reputation if you've got refs looking to do that sort of **** to you/your team in clutch moments of games.

he went in but he walked it off mostly, just hope he's okay.

Ok had a minute or two to kind of decompress and calm down after that very upsetting second half.

Did a lot of good things on offense jb struggled probably could’ve been held out but easy to say that now. I thought Marcus wasn’t that bad managed the game hit a couple big 3s.

Tatum and the other guys(minus Tristan) were very good like awesome Aaron, paypay, ze Frenchman and timelord all were unbelievable and frankly made me feel good about this team in the playoffs as bitchy and moral victoryish as that sounds.

Got nfl replacement ref vibes from that game some just downright terrible **** still not sure why smart was ejected or why the Portland player whining made the ref change his call on that pitback by Tristan.

our guys have gotten tired of waiting for game day injury reports to be late scratches, so have decided to start savaging each other during clutch moments of games instead.
