Can't make this ish up, man. You're welcome out to the farm with me, the pooch, and hooch anytime though. ;D
C's can't miss this opportunity with both CLE and WAS losing last night. Though, based off previous similar situations, they probably will.oh ye of little faith. hey, its a game thread...home of positive emotions, lair of optimism, host of good feelings. if you cant feel good about the celtics BEFORE the game, when can you? ;D
If they win, it is one step closer to solidifying that #2 seed with the game against WAS looming as a knockout punch tomorrow.
Haha. It feels like deja vu. I think they've had opportunities like this to catch up/put distance and they haven't capitalized. BUT, I'm hopeful today will be different.C's can't miss this opportunity with both CLE and WAS losing last night.

ha!!!! horford can do that all day against okafu. god, okafu's defense is soooooo bad.
Hey where are all the bloggers? I know its an early game but if I am up on the West Coast, then you east coasters need to suck it up, and stop coasting. 8)
yep, good point. okafur cannot play defense. soft, soft, soft. horford should get 30 points inside this game. ;Dha!!!! horford can do that all day against okafu. god, okafu's defense is soooooo bad.
We should ride Horford today.

lol Luwawu airball.
This game is making the last Brooklyn game feel like fine art.At least this one is going at a fast pace. That Brooklyn game was pure torture.

Celtics playing no defense yet...they did the last minute or so, but before then? not so much.
More proof
Celtics play up or down to the competition.
They take on the playing style of their opponents......smh

Its a tough night when Stauskas rejects you.
If Philly wanted to trade Okafor to us for a future 1st, I'd do it.
What the heck happened to Jaylen? He looks awful the past few games.Rookie Wall
Are we the worst shooting team ever
We need Fultz

How about trading for Holmes? He looks great.
We all knew the offense was going to be an issue without IT. But with the perimeter defenders the C's have, there is really no reason why Philly should be able to drive and create shots like that.Our defense right now is so terrible. Philly just getting to the hoop at will.
Agreed. And if we wanna win, we must go back to the good defensive team we used to be. We can't score a point.

Rozier heating up
I d be throwing chairs in he Locker room at half time.
Wake the **** up

Rozier is waking up.
Defense has been much better the last 6 minutes. Cs starting to get in rhythm.
rozier playing under control. he is still playing too much hero ball, but it is working today. so, go ahead rozier!!! ;D
saric looks pretty good. he isnt a primary scorer, but he fits into the offense very well.

JJ is excellent at Brad's team defense.
Crowder's outlet passes have looked great lately
Smart is so lost offensively lately. Needs to stop forcing bad shots.

I haven't been able to watch the game yet (busy).
But reading this thread you'd think we were down 20 right now LOL :laugh:
I think they should post him up more. He's a mismatch for most guards down low.Smart is so lost offensively lately. Needs to stop forcing bad shots.
He has no lift!
Crowder's outlet passes have looked great lately
wasn't it said he played some QB in college?
How did we do without Bradley for 22 games.
How did we do without Bradley for 22 games.
Totally depended on IT to save us
God I remember earlier this year when Dario Saric was the old Euro rookie that would never improve and Smart was the player that could still become an all star one day. Do things change fast :laugh: :laugh:
We can not play this bad against the Wiz ......or we ll get blown out by 30 pointsThe C's have a bad tendency to play down to their opponents this season.

They're not playing bad though. Looking like a double digit win at the moment.
The Sixers need some defenders...

Covington is a good defender, but he hurt his finger
I think they had a good defensive center, too, but they traded him. It's okay, though, they probably got a really good return for him
Smart, that was not smart.
Horford continues to make Saric look foolish on defense.To be fair, Horford is like a 10 year veteran . But, this is going to be the problem with Saric. He's a tweener. Too slow for SF but not big enough for PF/C.
ROY my @ss
Smart, that was not smart.
Out of control

if marcus could be able to produce 12-14 ppg with 45% FG he would be a monster factor.some of the shots he has taken so far are exactly those he is worst at. moving jump shots, turn around shots. he needs to never take those.
similar to the nets game. if the celtics actually hit their 3 points shots are the season average, they would have a nice sized lead.
oh well, they are ahead now and heading towards another win. ;D
i'm his biggest fan, but right now he is like top 5 worst offensive players in the leagueif marcus could be able to produce 12-14 ppg with 45% FG he would be a monster factor.some of the shots he has taken so far are exactly those he is worst at. moving jump shots, turn around shots. he needs to never take those.
but the lay ups!! geez, he simply HAS to make most of those.
Brown did not jump

Brown has strugged bad on offense recently. It seems like he's most hurt by IT's departurehe is just missing shots. all the celtics are missing from 3 point range. that is not IT's fault.
well that certainly sucked. :P
and why is rozier suddenly playing hero ball instead of running the offense? crap.
I m not certain Celtics are going to win.
Smart and Rozier just do not cut it as lead guards. Bleh.
Boston's offense has totally gone in the tank since the moment Horford came out of the game.
It's amazing how big of an impact Thomas and Horford have on the game.

OK Luwawu is from France but the Cs should be reminded that he is on the court in Philly today and guard him.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I didn't imagine C's would suck that much without IT. I knew he was important but... Wow.
It's even hard to imagine players will play with confidence tomorrow
Rozier must be approaching a double-double14 points and 9 rebounds right now.
Avery Bradley has been instrumental in losing this game.
Yeah, this team should definitely let IT walk next year!This teams should learn not to play tomorrow's game today.
It's a jump shooting team without him. And this is what happens when jump shooting teams go cold.Avery Bradley has been instrumental in losing this game.
How do you deny IT the max at this point?
absolutely terrible execution by the celtics. :PThe problem is they've been waiting for the whole game for the 76ers to beat themselves so that they can go and play Washingon. It's ok though, playing for the second seed is a thing too.
they can still win this. plenty of time to outscore philly.
Avery Bradley has been instrumental in losing this game.

Bradley has been especially bad today. But he isn't alone, pretty much everyone not named Horford or Crowder has sucked.
oh well, they can come back and win against washington.
Yep. Definitely deja vu all over again.Haha. It feels like deja vu. I think they've had opportunities like this to catch up/put distance and they haven't capitalized.

Brown is the guy they needed to step up - only other guy on this team who can get to the basket somewhat consistently but he had nothing today.
oh well, they can come back and win against washington.

I swear watching Celtics this season is one of the most stressful teams to watch in sports right now. Sure, they're the second seed but they really don't play like it a lot of the time and just about every win is by a possession or two.

Yes, there were a couple of flashy steals and blocks. But the game was lost when they decided to give up a layup galore in the fourth. So yep, not playing defense. Not when it mattered anyway.yep. this is what comes from not executing and not playing defense.

Not playing defense?? Are you kidding me?? Defense and Horford were the only thing that kept us alive so long!
We played the worst possible offense in a world. Disgrace!!
Smart is a real brick! We are offensively harmless team without Thomas!! Harmless!!!
They would have gained a game today too...

Celtics will lose a full game on the Cavs tonight though.
And that is going to happen with any rookie.There is nothing wrong with him and Smart. He's a 19 year old rookie. He has more bad than good moments.Brown is the guy they needed to step up - only other guy on this team who can get to the basket somewhat consistently but he had nothing today.

Isaiah Thomas' agent need only take the tape of the last two games into the negotiations with Danny with his bottom line request for a contract extension, take it or leave it. There really is no need to negotiate at this point. IT is a max player, it is up to him if he is willing to give a home town discount.
Saric is an excellent player, especially for a rookie. The Celtics really missed out on him.

So like IT? The difference being Saric has legit size and can scrap with anyone on D when he puts his mind to it.
This team absolutely needs to find a player or two, besides IT that can put the ball in the hole. They're loaded with inconsistent roll players, that play hard but can't score when needed.
I don't care who they play in the playoffs, if they control IT... it's lights out for the C's.

Eh, I don't think Saric will ever be anywhere near as good at offense as Thomas.
Saric's issue on defense is that he is too slow to defend SF's and too weak to defend good PF's.

The only guys on the roster that have the potential to create their own shots and score besides IT are Rozier and Brown, and both of them are not ready yet to step up.
That's why getting a player like Hayward is so valuable. Some people argue that statistically he's not much better than Crowder, but Hayward can handle the ball and create his own offense and offense for others, that is huge for this team.

He lead the Sixers over a win against us today as a rookie with a poor supporting cast. I'd say his future looks pretty darn good.
What's the matter with Jaylen Brown lately? Rookie wall? Not having his teammates' confidence? Not setting plays for him?I've been trying to figure this out, too. The Brooklyn game he was completely uninvolved in the offense. There would be long stretches where he would just be standing in the corner, waiting for the ball and it never came. I don't know if the players need to get him more involved, Brad needs to draw up some plays for him or if Jaylen needs to be more aggressive in getting himself touches, but I think something has to change. Jaylen has skills no one else on this roster has. If he can consistently get to where he was the last few weeks, that helps this team a ton.
Honestly, I understand he is playing less because he's had too many "reckless" mistakes lately. But it's hard to determine which one is the cause and the effect of both.

Ehhh, he's limited because of athleticism but he's not a disaster on defense. Smart team defender and good rebounder. Gives good effort on that side too.
He's a tweener. He's too slow to guard 3s but not big enough to cover PFs and Cs down low. Horford abused him today. Saric was a -13 on the night when he was on the floor.Saric is an excellent player, especially for a rookie. The Celtics really missed out on him.

Completely agree with this. Some people think you have to be a collection of muscles to defend well, and instincts, will and intelligence are as important as physical tools.
No way Saric is a terrible defender.

With their respective ages, though, they have a potentially large window for contention. I personally doubt Embiid's health allows for that to happen, though hopefully I'm wrong about that (for his sake, not ours).

So if you add three elite talents in Embiid, Simmons, and one of Fultz/Ball/Smith/Fox to the team that beat us today, and say that team is not at all a contender, then what does that say about us? Despite all of our experience, winning culture, coaching, depth, and vet leadership, we lost to that team today. Sure, we were without IT, but they were without Embiid and Simmons. Sure we are getting a top pick in this draft, but so are they. They may even get two in this draft.
I'm pretty confident the C's missing IT today was a bigger deal than Philly missing Embiid and Simmons. Present day IT is better than the present day version of those two.
Simmons has never even played a NBA game, kind of hard to say what type of impact he will ever have. Even Embiid, for as amazing as he looked at times this year, has a long way to go before he ever proves he can stay healthy.
Maybe it all works out for Philly in the long run. Maybe it doesn't. Kind of hard to say right now.

Here's our season record against the Sixers this year:

Jan 6th. Boston 110-106 Sixers
Feb. 15 Boston 116-108 Sixers
Mar. 19 Sixers 105-99 Boston
So for a team that is supposed to be so much worse than us, they have played us very close each game and beat us in one of them.
On a related note , they average a surprisingly consistent 106.25 pts per game against us.
We are the vet team and the deep team. They are supposed to be a rag tag collection of prospects and D leaguers. Why such a low discrepancy then?

Simmons has never even played a NBA game, kind of hard to say what type of impact he will ever have. Even Embiid, for as amazing as he looked at times this year, has a long way to go before he ever proves he can stay healthy.
Maybe it all works out for Philly in the long run. Maybe it doesn't. Kind of hard to say right now.
Here's our season record against the Sixers this year:
Dec 3rd. Boston 107-106 Sixers
Jan 6th. Boston 110-106 Sixers
Feb. 15 Boston 116-108 Sixers
Mar. 19 Sixers 105-99 Boston
So for a team that is supposed to be so much worse than us, they have played us very close each game and beat us in one of them.
On a related note , they average a surprisingly consistent 106.25 pts per game against us.

That is not just the absence of IT, we have trouble beating these guys all season.
