Welp we blew the **** out of that. Smart killed us late grant too not enough kick outs on these drives late.

Sucks it ended up being a game we should’ve won.

Smart and the coaching lost us the game at the end there. No Pritchard man what a dumbass decision by the head coach.

Lol. What can you do
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

Proud of the effort — just needed a little more offense down the stretch

No basketball IQ whatsoever on the floor down the stretch. One dumb decision after another.

After that smart ridiculous play in regulation, I knew an L was coming in OT. I didn’t have them winning the game. Lost focus, poor offensive execution, didn’t rebound the ball well etc. have to play better than this regardless if the jays are playing or not

100% would have won if not for those 3 possessions in the 4th by Smart.
Ass of game goes to Smart. This game was over until he came back in.

I've tried very hard to like him these last 3 months. VERY hard, but this game just reminds me exactly why he is without exaggeration, my least favorite Celtic player of all time.

Can someone teach him he can put it off the backboard on his layups? He'd make a lot of these misses if he was aiming for that instead of airballing ones for attempted swishes


**** awful offensive player! Jrich would have hit that easy!

That was a very winnable game. Lost opportunity.

We're NOT going to wait for him to get it together if he keeps playing this way for the rest of the season

There's 7 games left and if he doesn't shown anything once we get one more MLE player for the bench we're here looking to win.

He's not a 19 year old on a rebuilding team, we're going to give his minutes to players that can play once we get some more on the team.

We needed 3 to tie. I would have liked a timeout to get PP and Hauser in with Grant to at least have a better shot at it.

I think I'd prefer them to be outmatched and blown out instead of this. At least then you could just shrug about it. They shoulda had this one.

looked like he may have got hit on the arm by trent as he went up with the shot inside, according to the replay.

with that being said, there's no way you can just point to 1 play in this game and say that play decided the outcome. so this is a weird post.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)
