PLAYOFFS - GAME-1: (8) Bulls @ (1) Celtics – 6:30PM, Sun. 04-16-17 – TNT/CSN

[Homerclease]

When the hell did I say Bulls were a top 3 team? No the Bulls in reality suck. However, with no rebounding they don't have a shot against a team built like Chicago or Atlanta.

So, 53 wins while being a poor rebounding team this year says otherwise.

Yeah and how many of those wins came when they were dominated on the glass? Your view and others on that this team didn't need a rebounder is amazing.

So is your view that the bulls are better than the Celtics and backing up that point by citing the Raptors who got blown out in their playoff game as your evidence

[Jack Bauer]

That drive by IT should've honestly been an and-1

[BRUNiNHO91]

I can't believe they let Butler get that ball. Should have doubled him let it go to somebody and foul with 7 seconds left lol

[jfs1000d]

Ridiculous performance by Boston.

What's funny is you think getting a rebounder would have made us some juggernaut. We weren't getting past Cleveland regardless.

I just want this team to get past the first round...too much to ask?

[meatball sub]

bench crowder until we trade him

[Red2]

Damn. So many bad calls against , so many offensive rebounds given up, missed free throws, missed threes and we are going to lose by a few points . I don't feel bad about this . Losing sucks but I think we can take these guys

[DK-All Day]

Butler kicked our ass

[Shak_Celts]

good fight, jae has to do more.

No, my point is you said the Bulls are a better team than us. WHich is 100000000% wrong in every way. Stop shoving that foot deeper down your throat and retract your statement before you **** it out.

Even if we match up poorly because of rebounding and lose 4-0, overall, against the entire NBA, the bulls are not close to better than us.

I wish IT didn't even play. Our team played like pussies

[Leprechaun18]

If the Celtics do not get out of the first round this year, then Danny and son need to take some heat.

[Green89]

One of the worst Celtics playoff losses ever. After what happened to IT, so many teammates did not step up.

[SmartWentCrazy]

I love brad.

But it's time he starts taking some heat

2-9 in the postseason now. Guys gotta look in the mirror and realize that you can't play 11 guys or all bench lineups in the playoffs. It's not the NCAA where coaching and effort makes a difference. Talent wins. Ride the horses that got you here.

Thanks for showing up tonight, Jae. **** on both ends. I hope we have a new starting SF next season.

Hopefully Josh Jackson. Hayward at the 2. Bradley and Crowder off the bench along with Smart. We would have a great starting 5 and a really great bench.

You see posts like this and I wonder what game people are watching. Replace Amir and KO with bigs that can rebound and the Celtics win going away

That's the obvious that I didn't feel like unneeded to address. That's why we have Zizic. He IMO is going to be a huge upgrade. I expect him to start at the 5 with Al moving to the 4. It might take Zizic a month or 2 to winning a starting job and he will get there. Even off the bench for 30 minutes a game with be a big upgrade over Amir, KO and Zeller.

why is it smokey in houston?

It's all short-term thinking.

Like Ainge is too stupid to realize we need more rebounding??? Do you really believe this? Come on; jesus... if everyone on realgm knows, I suspect Ainge knows.

However, you have to make good moves for the team for the long term. That's how championship contenders are build -- not by patching a Frankenstein arm rebounder onto this freak of a team.

[return2glory]

Let the overreaction begin.

[CelticsPride18]

IT and Horford came to play the rest of the team sucked.

They match up better. I don't think you can deny that. This was a bad bad matchup for Boston. And the Raps are a better team than Boston. I'll cite the waxing they gave the Celtics all season long.
