Finish in Boston in 5.

Let's hope for the best, I am sure Brad has a plan.
I know Ombre is Jamal Crawford but his absence has to hurt.In a close game, the deeper team should have an advantage since the othe starters will be pretty tired.
They already had one of the worst benches in the league and now its down to Jennings, Boban, Smith, and maybe Mahimi? That's awful. Our bench needs go be on point tonight and shut that bunch of scrubs down.

Take care of the Rock, rebound the ball, do not settle for 3s.
I'm nervous about this game we can't come out worse than our last game right, right?!
I think I'm gonna grab some beer lol
Lets be real, even if they somehow advance from this series, if they start like this against Cleveland, we'd get blown out by 40 every game...
Can we get a restart?
Can Hortford get in the post and abuse Morris please?lol he'd rather shoot super long 2's

what is Crowder doing?you have to admit it was a nice pass to gortats shoe

yes it was.what is Crowder doing?you have to admit it was a nice pass to gortats shoe
IT can't miss and we do a good job defensively but Porter is carrying them, too bad we can't keep get some 5 or 10 point lead.
So far so good.nor will the celtics tonight. if you want to bet a tp on that i am willing to do so.
At least we haven't given up a 22-0 run yet...

Not trailing by double digits in the first quarter is really nice.leading is even better. ;D
Well, we got a good first quarter today.

lime dont help
We won the first quarteragainst the wizards? Who is this team and what have you done with my Celtics?
Can't complain about that start. We're actually playing good D once again, and we're getting good looks for the most part. Just have to start putting a couple more of these open shots in.agreed. the defense was good. and making the 3s put them up. let's hope they continue this against the wizzers' bench players to open the second quarter.
so far this series, the celtics have been great in quarters 2 through 4. if that repeats, it means a win tonight folks. ;D
Looks like we're getting super hero IT tonight. That bodes well.as long as he keeps other involved in the game, this is okay. but he cant do it all himself.
nickname for IT could be IThree!!!!
IT is good at scoring. Just wanted to put that observation out there.
2 full days of rest and our team has found its groove again.

Yeah, you do have to wonder how much of our sluggishness and poor shooting was due to fatigue. So far tonight we look much better with an extra day of rest.

Stop shooting threes in that instance, Smart...
Should be up at least 15 now.

Marcus seems to love to shoot 2-3 ft behind the line way too often. It's dumb.

I admit it wasn't terrible.
FOR those who said early leads are meaningless, wouldn't you rather have the Celtic lead than a Wizard lead?
I don't get why smart shoots so many 3s considering his shooting percent. Take it to the hoop you're built like a football player
You guys are something. Up by 10 on the road, and all i see is ****ing. ;D

How the hell does Wall get that open with no guard defender around him??Bad defense then, agreed
What's smart free throw percent in the playoffs? Lol

We're lucky that the Wizards haven't gone on a big run. Turning the ball over, not getting good looks, can't rebound.Just when somebody says that in the thread. >:(.
Comment of the year?Hitting the Bailey's Irish Cream
Be careful. That's how I ended up in Walpole. The internet's not bad here, though.
Our offense is s bad when IT goes to the bench. Zero attacking the hoop. Just deep jumpshots.The celts had open shots, but missed them.
Smart is such an offensive detriment.

terrible percent!
And this is why I complained about having "only" a 10-point lead. Should've taken better advantage of Wall's terrible start. A couple of WAS buckets, the crowd's into it, and just like that the "big lead" is down to very little. These guys have to cash in when they can.

Good grief, now Kelly's bricking open shot after open shot, and they're letting the Wiz get out on all kinds of fast breaks.
Man, KO has to knock some of those shots down. Those are WIIIIDDDEEE open threes that he should hit.
Why can't the Celtics hold a freaking 10 point lead ugh. Checked my score app they were up 40-30 now it's 48 all

And how many missed wide open 3s? You can't really afford to keep him out there if he's not giving you anything.
Just find a way to get this win and back to Boston 3.
1point win in OT is ok....
All that and it's a tied game. Could be worse, but I hope we don't come back to regret not making more of a lead earlier in the game.Defense will be the key. Plus, they need to make their open shots.
We absolutely HAVE to come out strong in the third quarter, and Smart, AB, and Jae all have to step up offensively. They're a combine 4-16, which isn't going to cut it.
can anybody crash behind IT when he drives?

Overall, solid showing in the first half on the road in a tough place for away teams.
Key to winning:The Celtics are crappy at shooting 3 pointers tonight, aside from Thomas. The rest of the team needs to make those open threes. If so, they open up,a good lead.
Keep ball out of Smarts hands and keep Johnson out of the game
didn't Cs open a lead when Amir was in the game first Q?
Did TNT get a "memo" from the league that John Wall has been elevated to "superstar" tonight, and they're throwing a party for him? Greg Anthony is going to need a new set of pants the way he's been going on.

Celtics players not named IT need to start hitting open looks more consistently.

Tied game despite losing the rebounding battle 28-18. If we go out there, play good D, and rebound, we'll win this game.
If we do all that and shoot well, we could run away with it

Can anyone outside of IT or Horford kind of score? Just a little please?
I'm so tired of our rebounding woes. 8 offensive rebounds given up and losing the rebounding battle by 10 overall in just the first half.
Brad stubbornly won't bring any offense off the bench!!We have offense on the bench???

we are GOD AWFUL at standing around watching IT struggle on a dribble drive to the net
sorry that is 100% on coaching. he gets no help
CBS why do u let them do that?
Does Jae Crowder do anything? Seriously what does he do? He's the most overrated player. He does nothing well at all.

add KO to the trade list he needs to go
Maybe next year
Another really weak game by Brad is going to cost us.
Absolute horrible by our entire team this quarterAgreed, except for Amir. ;D
Another really weak game by Brad is going to cost us.
This starting Amir crap and letting them go on huge runs and gaining momentum before calling a timeout is just ridiculous, poor coaching on his part.
This series is going 7.
Yeesh.....one of the benefits of having a PG that knows how to run a fundamental fastbreak instead of one that runs to the 3 point line and jacks one up
Turnovers against this team are almost a guaranteed two points the other way.
at what point does Brad realize a TO is needed?
What hurts more than this loss is that it clearly feels the Wizards have us figured out and will win the series because we have no answer for them and we are always trying to get back in each game in some way.
This is TERRIBLE!! Clear the bench or something Stevens, this just isn't working.
This is so [dang] pathetic. Holy ****.I know. It's not that Washington is playing great, which they are. But how weak the celticseffort has been. This is not CBS, the team is simply not executing or shooting well.
Yea I can not stand that about Brad why does he wait till they go on a 11-0 run to call the first timeout? DisgustingAnother really weak game by Brad is going to cost us.

IT has been terrible this half. When they shut him down offensively he's just not worth being out there.
I don't blame Brad. The talent discrepancy b/w the teams is mind-boggling. The Wiz aren't true contenders, yet better at every position (except Horford) in the starting 5. Get help, Ainge -- you may "feel great" about where we are, but your feelings are far removed from reality.
Tough one, but when you win nailbiters at home and lose big on the road, you are probably not the better team.

Brad needs to put on a tie until he learns how to call timeouts to stop 20-0 runs.
It is really a miracle that this team has won this many games this season. Roster as it is constructed is not good

Our ultimate opponent is the Warriors, not the Wizards.
Getting 'help' against the Wiz means nothing unless it helps us become a stud team that can beat Golden State.

This.
When you give up big runs, either from the 1st quarter on like, for the entire series, you're probably not the better team.
Danny has a **** load of work to do this summer. Roster needs to be cleansed of marginal players that contribute nothing. Needs more scoring
3 game series, with two at home. I will take that but we need four quarters of effort.
Brad needs to put on a tie until he learns how to call timeouts to stop 20-0 runs.
You know, it's funny. After that huge run by Washington, we scored twice in a row, and Brooks called the timeout to hedge that run. At least one of the coaches gets it. Brad would've let them rack up three more buckets before calling a timeout.

I think he's trying to do what Pop does by making his team play through bad stretches. But dude... He ain't Pop.
Here come all the hot takes about how awful we are, shocker.
We'll win the next game, people. This game was a guarantee for the Wiz, the league needed the series will go long with the Cleveland and GS series both being jokes.
We'll be OK.
He's a choker in the playoffs the moments too big for him. We need to trade him or send him to the bench. His defense is also overrated I'd rather get somebody that is good at something. He's mediocre at everything.Crowder, Smart, Bradley are 5-21,
Someone please find Crowder shooting percentage so far this year.. Last year he was garbage as well
Does IT have a miracle in him for fourth quarter? We would need an explosion a la Pierce and IT from game 2. My eyes tell me not a chance in hell but the idiot in me is gonna watch til the end.
I'm usually pro-Crowder around here, but not anymore.
Can't shoot, takes ill-advised 3s, and what defense is there to speak of?
He's our "Lebron-container"???
Package Crowder in ANY deal to get Butler. He is no more than a good 6th man in this league
Bradley does not deserve any big contract. Always hurt. Not consistent on offense

Up 10...to tied at half...to down 20. These last two games have been disguisting. Just really no competitive effort by this team
He's a choker in the playoffs the moments too big for him. We need to trade him or send him to the bench. His defense is also overrated I'd rather get somebody that is good at something. He's mediocre at everything.Crowder, Smart, Bradley are 5-21,
Someone please find Crowder shooting percentage so far this year.. Last year he was garbage as well
No playing time for Jaylen. Nice rotation right there, Brad ::)
Funny how we all make these hot takes, but then I bet you in Game 5, Bradley, Crowder and Smart combine to go like 20/21 and we start praising them so much :P
This team is INCONSISTENT.
Welp, like every ex-gf I've ever had has reminded me, size matters.
Stevens needs to be quicker to the trigger in terms of switching up a stagnant offense. A 26-0 run is absolutely unacceptable, at some point the personnel on the floor is the problem.
Get it within 10.
This #1 seed is about to get blown out for the second straight game.
YIKES.
Starting Amir is pointless.
Here come all the hot takes about how awful we are, shocker.
We'll win the next game, people. This game was a guarantee for the Wiz, the league needed the series will go long with the Cleveland and GS series both being jokes.
We'll be OK.
Let's review. We won game 1 good game for us. Game 2 should have been a Washington win they blew open shots to win the game.
Then we get blown out two games in a row showing as much fight as a drunk high school cheerleader squad.
How exactly is it a hot take to say we aren't winning the series? Washington has absolutely dominated us the last two games. They are the better team. I don't like it, I wanna get to the eastern conference finals at least, but what other conclusion can you have after watching the series so far.
guarantee? sigh. so i should not bother watching anymore right? how about those raptors fans? Canada did not need anymore roundball?
Are we seriously critizing the coaches in this situation?!?!?!? There is absolutely nothing a coach can do when he's outgunned.Stevens needs to be quicker to the trigger in terms of switching up a stagnant offense. A 26-0 run is absolutely unacceptable, at some point the personnel on the floor is the problem.
Absolutely correct!
Still cannot wrap my head around a 26-0 run. Absolutely cannot happen at this level of basketball in the playoffs. Just unnacceptable
Start Rozier please.
ok so who is untouchable? i say trade whoever as long as it makes us better as a team. i am not playing the favorites game anymore.

Has there ever been a team in the playoffs in back to back games let up runs of 22-0 and 26-0? I mean Washington is not a great team by any means and the fact they just did this again tells you how bad the Celtics can be and are flawed. I mean what will Cleveland do if forbid the Celtics actually get lucky and win this series? 60-0?
Start Brown. Play for the [dang] future if anything else. You get ZERO by starting Amir. Get Brown experience.
seems like the series decider right here.Not yet. We still have a shot but let's not be blind. Wash is clearly the better team. And it's not close. But we can still win two home games.
id say horford is untouchable unless its for Davis or Townsok so who is untouchable? i say trade whoever as long as it makes us better as a team. i am not playing the favorites game anymore.
Isaiah Thomas, Al Horford, Jaylen Brown.
Say what you want about IT but his scoring is the ONLY reason this team is where it is and how we are even in a Game 4 of a 2nd round.
Trade him away and this team is a 25-win team.
See this offense without him? Pathetic.
Just put in brown and maybe green and see if they can hit big shots
I'm usually pro-Crowder around here, but not anymore.
Can't shoot, takes ill-advised 3s, and what defense is there to speak of?
He's our "Lebron-container"???
I wouldn't mind Crowder so much if he was a better rebounder. But he is pretty useless rebounder
crowder useless
please put in brown
Why would he put the #3 pick in the NBA draft in?

I feel I can just set this quote to repeat every game:
this is a team of jumpshooters. when they're on, they can beat anyone. when they're off (like tonight) they can lose to anyone.
having said that, I just cannot fathom why Brad didn't call a timeout early in the half to stem the bleeding asap. even 2 timeouts if needed
Yup. Runs of 26 and 19 points clearly show who is better.Still cannot wrap my head around a 26-0 run. Absolutely cannot happen at this level of basketball in the playoffs. Just unnacceptable
tells you all you need to know, DA has tons of work to do
I can't understand a rational reason why CBS doesn't give Jaylen Brown a chance here.
crowder useless
please put in brown
Why would he put the #3 pick in the NBA draft in?
BRINGBACK BRANDON BASS!!!!!!!!! over JAE! at least bass could slam and hit midrange baseline jumoers
These refs have been so inconsisten.. touch fouls on one end and let them man handle us on the other, I don't get it..
Just put in brown and maybe green and see if they can hit big shotsHuh? There are no more big shots left in this game.
I would hate to see what the Cavs do to this Celtics team. Giving up 20 point runs in all four games is just awful.
Start Rozier next game
Perk and big baby are free agents. Anyone down to drop Crowder and amir and roll it back?
This series shows that Boston standing pat at the trade deadline was not a good idea. They just don't have enough players. A lot of grinders...only one or 2 playersI definitely agree that when you are relying heavily on your depth/bench and those guys can't shoot or can't play great D or can't rebound, and every night you're sorta looking for some sorta gimmicky miracle like Amir Johnson or Gerald Green or something to change then you have a significant issue.
Only way Boston wins this series is to win the four at home. They are not winning in DC. Have not all year. They are seriously outmanned.
So what you are suggesting is that bS try EVERY lineup he can. Wow, not sure how to respond to that.Are we seriously critizing the coaches in this situation?!?!?!? There is absolutely nothing a coach can do when he's outgunned.Stevens needs to be quicker to the trigger in terms of switching up a stagnant offense. A 26-0 run is absolutely unacceptable, at some point the personnel on the floor is the problem.
Absolutely correct!
He's not tinkering lineup when he knows its not working. He deserves a share of blame. Not taking out Crowder when he's laying an egg throughout the series deserves a flak.
If he actually tried all possible rotations and its still not working, maybe then he can get a pass.
sorry my good sir. we were not a flaming bag of poop because even a flaming bag of poop has a spark to it and we were lacking even that tonightThese refs have been so inconsisten.. touch fouls on one end and let them man handle us on the other, I don't get it..
Refs weren't the problem at all tonight. We came out and played like a flaming bag of poop in the 3rd quarter. That was all on us.
we got torched defensively
these two games in washington they have been exploiting IT4 ... even if he doesnt' cover wall
there is constantly a hole on the defensive end
SO It4 better start scoring x3...otherwise we will not win another game
Celtics making Washington look like an historic team is embarrassing. Never been more embarrassed as a Celtics fan at any point in 30 plus years. 26-0 shouldn't even happen in high school. Even when the Celtics sucked in the 90's at least you expected it but to suck this bad in the playoffs against average Washington? Pathetic, DA has a ton of work to do this roster is far from competing for a title.

I can't believe there's still Stevens apologists after this series with all of the terrible decisions he's made. It's not all his fault, but acting like he's blameless here is just willfully ignorant.

This is why I'm sticking to the part where I'd rather have Portis now. This is why I'm not apologizing for my Julius Randle comments. Terry Rozier and Smart are so great? Let's see it. More than every once in a while
Terry thoroughly outplayed Smart statistically in this game. Maybe it's an energy thing. Competition. Let's see what happens when Stevens says to Smart "No. Not you".Start Rozier next game
Or at least give him Smarts minutes....
Rozier is the only one playing with purpose out there right now.

Way too late. Could have provide energy during a scoring drought along with Rozier.
Finally Brown in Garbage time........
Start Rozier next game
I coach middle school basketball. We were awful this season. Had 6 players.
We never gave up a 26-0 run.
They overacheived this season. They are not the #1 seed. They are really the 3 seed.
as much as the starters haven't gotten it done tonight, if I'm Brad, I'd leave them in the game to the end so they can reap the 'rewards' of the craptastic play tonight. maybe that will drive the point home to them to play with some effort

Going to be a long time until Tuesday.
Going to be a long time until Tuesday.
The last two games have me right back to where I was after they dropped the first two to Chicago.
This is a likable and hardworking group but they don't have enough size or talent.
Obviously we've played terrible 2nd half but that doesn't excuse the fact that it's a totally different game on either end of the court.. IT went to the bucket at least 3 times where he got hit and no calls. I'm just saying this could be a 10-15 point game instead of 22 if we could of gotten some callsThese refs have been so inconsisten.. touch fouls on one end and let them man handle us on the other, I don't get it..
Refs weren't the problem at all tonight. We came out and played like a flaming bag of poop in the 3rd quarter. That was all on us.
god no but I really don't think pulling them out will deliver a message either. they played like scrubs so let them get the playing time the scrubs getas much as the starters haven't gotten it done tonight, if I'm Brad, I'd leave them in the game to the end so they can reap the 'rewards' of the craptastic play tonight. maybe that will drive the point home to them to play with some effort
I mean, after seeing this type of half-hearted effort way too often this season, do you think anything at this point is going to matter?
Going to be a long time until Tuesday.
Wednesday is next game and we need more rest. KG retreat anyone?
24 minutes for Marcus Smart. 1 rebound
1 minute for Jaylen Brown. 1 rebound

If this team had 2008 KG, we'd be in the Finals. No joke.
He'd literally solve all our remaining problems/needs.

The dreaded offensive rebound bites us again. The too small Celtics were bulldozed by a bigger, longer, more reliable shooting team.
Again...IT is a defensive liability. If his scoring stutters in he least, he opens the flood gates for the opposing team.
Smart has played terribly these last two games. "Clunk" needs to find a way to score the ball well enough to justify his minutes. Marcus must hear the steps of Rozier closing in.

I dont think Stevens has as much talent as everyone else left in the playoffs. I won't judge him until Ainge upgrades the $20 million + he's spending on Amir and Zeller.
Keep in mind fellas, we still have the lottery.
yet nobody answered my questions. howlong will we give young picks to pan out? what is our timeline? we are in year 4 of a complete rebuild.

Because Smart is not what was advertised and what is advertised. He is not a major part of this team. He's Kurt Rambis. Kurt was a good player. He had some toughness. He played hard. He had a cult following. I thoroughly respect Kurt Rambis. He wasn't picked 6th I don't think, but he's a good player. Kurt was intelligent also. Yay Kurt Rambis.24 minutes for Marcus Smart. 1 rebound
1 minute for Jaylen Brown. 1 rebound
I'm not sure where this hate for Smart is coming from. He hasn't played great offensively tonight, but he's never really great offensively. He's out there for his defense and playmaking. AB and Crowder have been way, way worse on both sides of the ball tonight, and they, along with Stevens, are the major factors in us losing tonight.

Um, no. The reason we've been a bad rebounding team ALL year is because we don't have good rebounders, all else being equal. Sure, we could try harder but the other teams harder is better than ours.People seriously think this is about effort? Seriously? And brown is in during garbage time.

Somethings gotta change here game 5. Amir is not the answer, crowder has been nonexistent, and we settle for too many jumpers. Defense really has to step up as wellOkay. But based on your points, there is nothing we can do unless we make some playoffs trades.
I thought after the game 3 disaster this team would come out fired up, embarrassed and ready to go. Wow this is disappointing
I don't understand why we have such low expectations for such a high pick. His job isn't to be a teeny bit better than Rozier (which I'm not sure he is).good lord. quit hanging on to him being picked 6th as a reason to believe he'd be an all-star.Because Smart is not what was advertised and what is advertised.

I dunno, I think the Wizards starting 5 is just more talented. The fact that Stevens keeps needing to try different lineups shows how he's trying to overcome the talent disparity.
I absolutely don't think it's about effort. What kind of sense does that make anyway? You prefer to think that our guys choose not to try hard when the obvious answer is that we're at a serious talent disadvantage. They have had huge runs in every game.

You don't think the 3rd 1/4 massacre was at least partly due to effort?

I went to a game this morning where my kids team beat the other one by 50 points. They were trying as hard as they could but were outmanned.
I think the TURNING POINT in this series was when Morris threw Horford to the floor (No flagrant on that blatantly non-basketball move!!!) and NOT a SINGLE CELTIC had his back.Enough with the toughness and effort. They have better players.
I think the series turned at that point. The Wiz realized that we are SOFT and have NO BACKBONE and at that point they smelled blood in the water!!

Let me explain something, and I'll use my kids team as an analogy. When they play they cons usually tell before the game starts whether the other team is better, worse, our about the same. When a team is better, everything falls into plays and they look great. When they aren't, things tend to fall apart.I absolutely don't think it's about effort.

Look effort isn't just about running as fast as you can down the court. It is a mental approach as well. The mentality to say we are going to stop this 15 point run right now while we are still in the game. Part of that is effort. The mental weakness allows the poor effort to continue. We just don't have guys who are mentally tough.
We obviously have talented players on our team, maybe not good enough to win series with the cavs, but good enough to respond better than they did today.
wasnt able to catch this one.
what happened?
Looks like we did OK on Wall, forced him into 7 turnovers and just 8/25 from the field.
Box score looks real bad for AB. Crowder pulled another no-show and our best players were Smart Olynyk and Rozier.
That sound about right, or is the box score lying to me?

Box score looks real bad for AB. Crowder pulled another no-show and our best players were Smart Olynyk and Rozier.
That sound about right, or is the box score lying to me?
Let me explain something, and I'll use my kids team as an analogy. When they play they cons usually tell before the game starts whether the other team is better, worse, our about the same. When a team is better, everything falls into plays and they look great. When they aren't, things tend to fall apart.I absolutely don't think it's about effort. What kind of sense does that make anyway? You prefer to think that our guys choose not to try hard when the obvious answer is that we're at a serious talent disadvantage. They have had huge runs in every game. That's not an accident and it's not because the team isn't trying.People seriously think this is about effort? Seriously? And brown is in during garbage time. His play right now is less than meaningless.
You don't think the 3rd 1/4 massacre was at least partly due to effort?
We were passive beyond belief, we were practically bending over for the Wiz.
I went to a game this morning where my kids team beat the other one by 50 points. They were trying as hard as they could but were outmanned.
Look effort isn't just about running as fast as you can down the court. It is a mental approach as well. The mentality to say we are going to stop this 15 point run right now while we are still in the game. Part of that is effort. The mental weakness allows the poor effort to continue. We just don't have guys who are mentally tough.
We obviously have talented players on our team, maybe not good enough to win series with the cavs, but good enough to respond better than they did today.
All that stuff about heart is garbage because talent wins out.
How is a 26-0 run even possible?
wasnt able to catch this one.

Yeah, because you think nba players are immune to this I guess. You're wrong of course. They recognize who's better at this stage too. We have been overwhelmed at some point in every game. When they put it together, there isn't much we can do about. 26-0 is a lot, but they've had something similar in EVERY game.Let me explain something, and I'll use my kids team as an analogy.

I don't care about your kids team analogies. I disagree with you, sorry.
I think the TURNING POINT in this series was when Morris threw Horford to the floor (No flagrant on that blatantly non-basketball move!!!) and NOT a SINGLE CELTIC had his back.Enough with the toughness and effort. They have better players.
I think the series turned at that point. The Wiz realized that we are SOFT and have NO BACKBONE and at that point they smelled blood in the water!!

I mean you have to promote your player as a superstar and the refs have to recognize him as one before he gets the star treatment. The refs do not recognize IT as a superstar in the league.I think the TURNING POINT in this series was when Morris threw Horford to the floor (No flagrant on that blatantly non-basketball move!!!) and NOT a SINGLE CELTIC had his back.Enough with the toughness and effort. They have better players.
I think the series turned at that point. The Wiz realized that we are SOFT and have NO BACKBONE and at that point they smelled blood in the water!!
Smitty77
They have tougher players and refs that give the calls to Wall and NOT to the third leading scorer in the NBA!!!!
Smitty77
You need to anoint your star a superstar before he gets superstar calls. Apparently the refs have no problems issuing technical fouls to IT.
What?

Not to mention that they already have a true superstar on their team. That's the real key.they cant make any big additions, but Beal and Porter are just 23. Plenty of room for the Wiz to improve.Let me explain something, and I'll use my kids team as an analogy. When they play they cons usually tell before the game starts whether the other team is better, worse, our about the same. When a team is better, everything falls into plays and they look great. When they aren't, things tend to fall apart.I absolutely don't think it's about effort. What kind of sense does that make anyway? You prefer to think that our guys choose not to try hard when the obvious answer is that we're at a serious talent disadvantage. They have had huge runs in every game. That's not an accident and it's not because the team isn't trying.People seriously think this is about effort? Seriously? And brown is in during garbage time. His play right now is less than meaningless.
You don't think the 3rd 1/4 massacre was at least partly due to effort?
We were passive beyond belief, we were practically bending over for the Wiz.
I went to a game this morning where my kids team beat the other one by 50 points. They were trying as hard as they could but were outmanned.
Look effort isn't just about running as fast as you can down the court. It is a mental approach as well. The mentality to say we are going to stop this 15 point run right now while we are still in the game. Part of that is effort. The mental weakness allows the poor effort to continue. We just don't have guys who are mentally tough.
We obviously have talented players on our team, maybe not good enough to win series with the cavs, but good enough to respond better than they did today.
All that stuff about heart is garbage because talent wins out.
They might have more over-all talent RIGHT NOW, but they do NOT have hardly ANY CAP room after they give Porter a virtual MAX. They are what they are. We have or should have room to sign a MAX and we are GUARANTEED a top 4 pick this year and a almost GUARANTEED top 7 pick NEXT YEAR. We WILL have size next year as Zizic is coming. I am NOT sold on Yabusele. Nadar SHOULD make our team (Saw him play in person twice!! He is LEGIT!!)
We were NOT built to win this year.
IF the Wiz beat us, I doubt they win ONE freaking game vs. the Cavs!!!
Smitty77
They don't need big additions. Their starting 5 is really, really good. They need bench help, which they can get.

Yep, both the team and the coach feel entitled.

How does a professional basketball team allow a 26-0 run ??
So, Gerald Green, by himself, gets the Chicago series momentum turned back in Boston's favor and now he is MIA ???? I am not suggesting he needs to always start, but at least the guy brings some offense when Thomas is not scoring. Maybe he helps prevent a 26-0 run.
Olynyk is USELESS - play Jalen Brown over him anyday.
No rhyme or reason to these rotations - it's like Stevens is throwing darts and hoping one hits.

This is quite hilarious coming from the guy comparing the NBA to a pee-wee team...
As for a pee wee team, obviously you don't understand that either. Been watching ultra competitive "pee wee" games for six years. Even at the youngest levels, these kids have heart and go all out. You'd be amazed frankly. There is a lot of similarities between those games and the nba. You just have no idea.
lol I am glad you enjoy coaching the young kids, but I will have whatever you are smoking. Pee wee league has literally no similarities to the NBA. Wow
How does a professional basketball team allow a 26-0 run ??
So, Gerald Green, by himself, gets the Chicago series momentum turned back in Boston's favor and now he is MIA ???? I am not suggesting he needs to always start, but at least the guy brings some offense when Thomas is not scoring. Maybe he helps prevent a 26-0 run.
Olynyk is USELESS - play Jalen Brown over him anyday.
No rhyme or reason to these rotations - it's like Stevens is throwing darts and hoping one hits.
Kelly Olynyk was pretty good in game 1 and 2, but he is up and down just like he was all year - its just who he is. You cant ignore him in case he decides to assert himself into the game, but Brad needs a shorter leash when its clear he isnt.
I do think we need less Crowder. He just isnt helping, and his defense is overrated.
I know you have no idea what it means to be a competitive athlete. Because if you did, you'd acknowledge what I am saying is true. The competitive kids are programed at a very young age. They face pressure every game that feels the same at every stage.For your information, my sons not a pee wee team. He's on a gold level AAU team that has multiple (future) college players on it. The same AAU that bred all the players in the nba now. Will my kid and anyone on his team make it to the nba? Odds are against it but like I said, you have no clue about being an actual competitive athlete. They are all human. They try hard but when you're coming up against someone that's better than you, sometimes things fall apart.Are you suggesting that nba players are not human? Or that they don't have better players? And that our players don't care? When did we stop caring because we did beat Chicago? Did Chicago not care?Clearly the fans will entitled...and are clueless as usual.Let me explain something, and I'll use my kids team as an analogy. When they play they cons usually tell before the game starts whether the other team is better, worse, our about the same. When a team is better, everything falls into plays and they look great. When they aren't, things tend to fall apart.I absolutely don't think it's about effort. What kind of sense does that make anyway? You prefer to think that our guys choose not to try hard when the obvious answer is that we're at a serious talent disadvantage. They have had huge runs in every game. That's not an accident and it's not because the team isn't trying.People seriously think this is about effort? Seriously? And brown is in during garbage time. His play right now is less than meaningless.
You don't think the 3rd 1/4 massacre was at least partly due to effort?
We were passive beyond belief, we were practically bending over for the Wiz.
I went to a game this morning where my kids team beat the other one by 50 points. They were trying as hard as they could but were outmanned.
Look effort isn't just about running as fast as you can down the court. It is a mental approach as well. The mentality to say we are going to stop this 15 point run right now while we are still in the game. Part of that is effort. The mental weakness allows the poor effort to continue. We just don't have guys who are mentally tough.
We obviously have talented players on our team, maybe not good enough to win series with the cavs, but good enough to respond better than they did today.
All that stuff about heart is garbage because talent wins out.
Lol I don't know how someone can watch this particular team struggle with "showing up" to certain games all season long and come away with such a non-sensical opinion.
This team was only as good as it was the last couple of years because of our heart. We simply don't have it this year due to an entitled attitude.

That stupid contract to Mahinmi really hamstrings them. Without it, they might be able to free up enough space to get Cousins next offseason.they cant make any big additions, but Beal and Porter are just 23. Plenty of room for the Wiz to improve.Let me explain something, and I'll use my kids team as an analogy. When they play they cons usually tell before the game starts whether the other team is better, worse, our about the same. When a team is better, everything falls into plays and they look great. When they aren't, things tend to fall apart.I absolutely don't think it's about effort. What kind of sense does that make anyway? You prefer to think that our guys choose not to try hard when the obvious answer is that we're at a serious talent disadvantage. They have had huge runs in every game. That's not an accident and it's not because the team isn't trying.People seriously think this is about effort? Seriously? And brown is in during garbage time. His play right now is less than meaningless.
You don't think the 3rd 1/4 massacre was at least partly due to effort?
We were passive beyond belief, we were practically bending over for the Wiz.
I went to a game this morning where my kids team beat the other one by 50 points. They were trying as hard as they could but were outmanned.
Look effort isn't just about running as fast as you can down the court. It is a mental approach as well. The mentality to say we are going to stop this 15 point run right now while we are still in the game. Part of that is effort. The mental weakness allows the poor effort to continue. We just don't have guys who are mentally tough.
We obviously have talented players on our team, maybe not good enough to win series with the cavs, but good enough to respond better than they did today.
All that stuff about heart is garbage because talent wins out.
They might have more over-all talent RIGHT NOW, but they do NOT have hardly ANY CAP room after they give Porter a virtual MAX. They are what they are. We have or should have room to sign a MAX and we are GUARANTEED a top 4 pick this year and a almost GUARANTEED top 7 pick NEXT YEAR. We WILL have size next year as Zizic is coming. I am NOT sold on Yabusele. Nadar SHOULD make our team (Saw him play in person twice!! He is LEGIT!!)
We were NOT built to win this year.
IF the Wiz beat us, I doubt they win ONE freaking game vs. the Cavs!!!

We need more offensive fire power.
We shot well from 3pt% but just not enough scoring options once Isaiah went quiet.
Olynyk and Rozier off our bench were the 2nd and 3rd highest scorers.
How does a professional basketball team allow a 26-0 run ??
So, Gerald Green, by himself, gets the Chicago series momentum turned back in Boston's favor and now he is MIA ???? I am not suggesting he needs to always start, but at least the guy brings some offense when Thomas is not scoring. Maybe he helps prevent a 26-0 run.
Olynyk is USELESS - play Jalen Brown over him anyday.
No rhyme or reason to these rotations - it's like Stevens is throwing darts and hoping one hits.
Kelly Olynyk was pretty good in game 1 and 2, but he is up and down just like he was all year - its just who he is. You cant ignore him in case he decides to assert himself into the game, but Brad needs a shorter leash when its clear he isnt.
I do think we need less Crowder. He just isnt helping, and his defense is overrated.
I am going to go out on a limb and say that Olynyk wasn't the problem tonight (see 3rd quarter 26-0 run).
Gotta ask Brad Stevens. He knows these thingsWe need more offensive fire power.

Olynyk had ZERO stinking rebounds in 23 minutes!!!!! How does a 7-footer do that??

Kelly's rebounding is bad, but its one of the smaller problems at the moment.Gotta ask Brad Stevens. He knows these thingsWe need more offensive fire power.

Mahinmi is 30 and sucks!!!! You don't give someone like him a 4 year/64M contract if you want to be a contender especially when Gortat had 3 years left on his contract.That stupid contract to Mahinmi really hamstrings them.
