lmao gimme a break. You want them to not play the game?

Plus the whole arena was booing their teammate every time he touched the game, they should drag their nuts all of the court if they can.

When Steve Blake 2.0 is all Celtics fan rave about, then something must be wrong. The team just sucks outside of Tatum/Brown.

Whose playing well for the Raptors so far?

He needs that Carlos boozer head paint to fill in that spot.

I have never seen a team play such pitiful defense in a series. Yikes.

Gross, it’s like baseball players whining about hitting pitches thrown to them in blowouts.

Who would've guessed 265 point games could be so bland

Then you haven’t watched much basketball.

Not that this board couldn’t tell.

This team needs another big time scorer. I been saying that for awhile now

If he's resigned and starting next year a lot fans are gonna be pissed. Starting now, Ainge needs to man up, admit his mistakes, and fix them. I don't see it happening through UNLESS he goes for the big, all in moves around Tatum as he did in 2008 with Pierce.

You realize he is being asked to be our 2nd scoring option when he was initially signed to be out 6th man and scoring punch off the bench! He is perfect for that! Really don't see all the bitching about Fournier when he's played decent 3 of the 4 games.

No different than the Nets stars out there, as long as you’re in the game, play lol.

But yeah of course.

No one can check Harden or Durant.

Not because they are all time great...the way the League is reffed, you aren't allowed to play any defense against these guys.

Same with LeBron.

Why don't other players do it, then? Why doesn't Semi Ojeleye do it for instance?

Perception.

Think about this:

This League went from James Worthy holding a handful of Larry's jersey, and the refs calling nothing...to no one can even body up and play basic defense against the likes of Harden,Durant,Lebron etc.

But at the same time, the aforementioned can hack the crap out of anyone they want and never come close to fouling out.

Tremont looking like he's 4 foot tall out there right now! Lol

No it’s pitiful! I guarantee you that the nets won’t be doing this in the next round. D the **** up!!!

One was won in Minny? Try like 5 after just talking about the originators of the game. What a **** uneducated poser.

No but we have guys that can make them a little less comfortable. Fournier is an absolute turnstile.

Exactly.

In my opinion the fact that the Celtics have scored 126 points tonight is what is going to ultimately kill Brooklyn. This Celtics team has no right to score 126 points

Green Kornet snagging all the available rebounds!!!!!!
