I'm not having much fun watching this team this year so far.
Jeff Green has his best game as a Celtic tonight that is all!I expect the Bulls to be a difficult matchup for Jeff Green. One of the best defensive teams in the league. A top notch defensive SF in Luol Deng with excellent size. A very good defensive PF in Taj Gibson with excellent quickness.
Deng with 8 free throws already. Give me a break.

Since h has gotten fouled four times going to the basket, shouldn't he have 8 free throws?
Bass really sucks so of course he's played 11 minutes already, second most on the team. Must be the intangibles.or those pictures of Doc

Chicago is impressive. The intensity and energy they play with.
I am not sure there is any other team that plays at such a high level in terms of effort and focus on a regular basis as Chicago does and has done throughout Tom Thibodeau's tenure.
How to beat the celtics...well, #1, they don't box out, #2, they shoot mostly jumpers and do not rebound their own shots, #3, keep sending your guys down low....the Celts D will NOT stay with their man...so someone will always be open in the paint......PP will play VERY loose , lazy D....we play bad man-zone
I can't even get mad anymore. I'm watching this game with no emotion. Until Ab gets back and we make a trade for a talented big this is what we are.

Until Ab gets back and we make a trade for a talented big this is what we are.This is also what I get from the players' body language. They're just going through the motions... they've quitted trying and they just wait until AB comes back or a trade happens and then turn on the switch once again this year. Not gonna happen! :(
Outworked and outsmartedoutcoached
Good effort to get it within 7, but the defense continues to stink.I say go small :'(
Yeah, it looks like that. Better prepared.Outworked and outsmartedoutcoached

It's not like Sully or Wilcox where lighting it up out there.
When we consciously put effort into boxing out, our rebounding improves dramatically. Too bad we only do so for spurts at a time.tp
We can beat the cavs, right?They're in a poor run of form themselves. So at least there is that.

Exactly. I don't get Bass Bashing. He is one few guys giving 100% every game. You can deal with few missed shots as long as he is hustling out there.
Screw the Celts. My son just got into Villanova - his first choice!!!!!!!!!

Was just kidding about the jeff green comment i made earlier.. I really hate to adnit it but at times I'm find myself saying this team sucks.. idk what it is or what we need.. I love Jeff I love bass but they are making bad plays after bad plays.. I know this team is good and turn it around but goodness they are mighty frustrating..sometimes it's coaching

I prefer Sullinger but he was getting killed by Boozer and also got 2 quick fouls, whereas Bass played well in the 1st half tonight.

Bass did not play well. His defense was horrible. Not rotating to get in front of the basket and on those back to back baskets by Boozer off the same play, those were against Bass. He also turned down a jumper, which he does with maddening frequency since that's the one area he's good at, to try and make a pass off the dribble, which he is not good at. Predictably, he threw it away.
I'd admit that I'm pretty hard on Bass but he's being used out of his element. He's a backup who should be playing in around 20 minutes a game because his weaknesses really got the team. Instead, he played the most minutes in the first half. I don't get it. I don't like Green at PF but if it's between Bass playing 18 minutes and Green only 6, I can take Green at PF.
The big question here is how many points are the bulls going to add to the lead when KG goes out soon.and Green goes pf and Bass goes center :'(
Garnett late on the help on Belinelli on that dribble hand off from Boozer.
I'm glad KG is being saved for the playoffs. Of course the playoffs aren't even guaranteed or they're going to be a very low seed.
Why does Doc devalue the regular season so much? He's like an imposter Popovich.
Give Jeff Green a shot against Belinelli. Please!

Really, I can't believe Doc hasn't done that yet.

I would love to know how many minutes Jeff Green and Paul Pierce have played alongside one another on the wing.
I looked up Pierce's top twenty lineups (lineups with ten minutes or more) and none of them had the two out there together on the wing. Plenty of small-ball lineups where they played alongside one big man but none alongside two big men.
Just did the same for Jeff Green. None in his top twenty either (lineups with 7 minutes or more).
The bulls offense is so simple sometimes. guys screening and then cutting to the basket and guys hit the cutter.This. When we play simple defense, everyone is picking it up. Same with the offense.
we seem to have trouble doing something so simple and effective.
So have we seen all of Jeff Green's good games for the year? He has disappeared again. ::)Yeah. Green has just played 10 mins. So awful ::)

You may know this but on nba.com under the stats tab they have advanced stats, and one of the choices is player vs player. Plug in PP and Green for the two players and it will show you how much time they play together and how the team performs when both or just PP or just Green are in the game.
Don't worry. By game 60 they should all understand how to play the defense. ::)
How come the Bulls aren't tired? They played last night. Good night. Nic 0-3 road trip. 12-12 reflects exactly what this team is.
[dang] we suck. B A L L G A M EYup, looks that way. Going to be hard to get back from this deficit against a team as strong defensively and playing as well as they are tonight as Chicago is.
These are the times i say we suck.. we need to make a move
Don't worry. By game 60 they should all understand how to play the defense. ::)
They will.
Avery Bradley being back, and addition of mobile shot blocking 7 footer (Melo Maybe) will right this ship.
Wow, the Bulls are +11 on the boards now. They were nearly even at halftime.

Like Doc and Gorman said on the pregame, Bradley is not Bill Russell.
AB isn't going to fix the problem all by himself we desperately need to do something or were going to be left in the dust

How embarrassing. First career triple double for Noah. This team sucks.well to be fair its his 2nd but yea dis team is dumpster juice at da moment
A lot of people are sucking and Jeff Green is Jeff Green again. It almost looks as if they have quit tonight.They didn't quit. They're just not good enough.

I beg to differ. Avery will help out a lot.
Does he protect the rim? Does he rebound the ball? Does he create offense?Don't worry. By game 60 they should all understand how to play the defense. ::)

Wow. Getting beat by Nate Robinson and Taj Gibson. And then Rondo makes a lazy, horrible pass over Lee's head, throwing it away. Cs down 20.
I'm turning it off.
All is not lost in this game. KG only played 22 minutes. That should come in handy when during the Finals.
Even the most optimistic of optimists has to be concerned with the mess this team has become.

that last part is practically science fiction
If this loss doesn't prompt a player's only meeting, I don't know what would.
Not only the third straight loss on this road trip but it's the third straight double digit loss.
Please. This is the most embarrassing loss in a long, long time.yep and my cup is always half full of green kool aid
Well Doc has his work cut out for him. The team isn't gelling like everyone expected and we don't seem to be giving max. effort. Something needs to change obviously. We will be home for the playoffs if this level of play continues.
After a loss like this, all options should be on the table to make the team better. Trades, benching, alternate coaching approaches...
Just really poor effort and execution.
Everyone who is not Rondo, KG, Pierce, or Terry needs to be on the trading block.

JET's expression at the end of the game: "[dang], why did I get that tattoo?"
Hate to say it, but we're in worse shape than the Lakers. At least they have a legitimate excuse with key players being injured and all.
I will continue to wait till All-Star break to truly judge the team. Still 58 games left.
u beat me to it he's worthless when his jumper is off he let so many people blow past him it was unbelievableEveryone who is not Rondo, KG, Pierce, or Terry needs to be on the trading block.terry? sorry not so much, his defense is pretty poor so if he isn't hitting his shots he hurts us
yeah, keepers at this point are only Rondo and KG based on their play and PP for his service to the team in his career. other than that, everyone's on the block for the right pieces.u beat me to it he's worthless when his jumper is off he let so many people blow past him it was unbelievableEveryone who is not Rondo, KG, Pierce, or Terry needs to be on the trading block.terry? sorry not so much, his defense is pretty poor so if he isn't hitting his shots he hurts us
I'm blaming the refs for this loss. The game was competitive in the first three quarters, but you could see the Celtics losing steam as they continually failed to get the calls that the Bulls were getting on the other end.refs were bad -- for both teams, not just the C's. this loss is on the C's. players didn't perform. very clear cut.
