Also, Markieff Morris says Celtics can't pull off "funeral" attire like Wizards can. "They wanna be us so bad man" lol this guy is full of it.
Hope this is bulletin-board material for the C's tomorrow.
What I'd like to see tonight is another fantastic start like we saw in Game 5.
Great defense, excellent in transition (convert those layups Bradley), and knocking down open looks. Also, the bench being a factor as well.
Don't fall behind big like in Games 1, 2 and 4 lol.
I hope guys like KO realize they could be playing for a contract tonight, and a bad performance in Game 7 could really hamper that.

PLAY LIKE A GAME 5. We owe them another blowout like after they blew us out twice in DC. We already owed them a "given" game in Game 6 after their Game 2.

Exactly. I truthfully don't like our odds that much in a Game 7 if we play them behind for most of the game, especially if Wall/Beal both are doing damage.
Good start is KEY.
Official Report
Monty McCutchen was voted one of the best refs in the league by coaches and players in a 2016 LA Times poll. He has been decent in most Celtics games but there have been a couple of games where he has been really bad, the double OT loss to the Warriors last season is one of them. Draymond Green committed his 6th foul and they gave the foul to Curry, who was not even involved in the play. Green then played all of the 4th quarter and two overtimes without getting another foul called on him, although he committed several. Avery Bradley, who was successfully limiting Curry, fouled out on two very questionable calls. The Warriors shot 39 free throws to just 16 for the Celtics.
McCutchen officiated Game 3 of this series and Game 3 of the Bulls series. He is a homer ref with a home W/L record of 48-25. Both teams are 8-2 with McCutchen on the court.

I feel like I'm going to have severe anxiety and a heart attack simultaneously tonight... :laugh: :(

I was supremely confident before wagering all of my TPs. We're the better team, should've won game 6. But the possibility of lopsided officiating or rare occurrences are always on the table, I guess.

I predicted C's in 7 and still think that.
I just hope this isn't the game where AB decides to go cold, and our bench struggles yet again. Can't afford that at all.
As I've said in this thread before, a good start is KEY. Can't fall behind early especially in a vital Game 7.
tequila tonight for me....no idea how the players handle their nerves going into games like thiswhiskey for me!

prediction time.
wizards play their best game in boston this season. horford and AB have bad shooting nights. wizards lead pretty much throughout.
...and Gorilla Glue #4 is on the menu for the game tonight.
My heart is racing and the game hasn't even started :PSame here and I don't feel good about this game prove me wrong C's let's gooo
Jae Crowder has to show up tonight. Cannot shoot poor shots and bricksThat's a frightening thought

eeek...

I'm concerned that Bradley is due for a quieter game after playing spectacularly over the past two. We need Crowder and KO to step up big time. If they play well I think we'll can win comfortably.
Smart just needs to play within himself. No stupid 3's, no forced drives to rim with wild shots, and limit turnovers, especially live turnovers.
Game hasn't even started and I already need a drink. So nervous but this is our game to win!!!
Ugh, AB and those dumb passes kill me.
Avery!!! IT looking to pass early
ABSOLUTELY INEXCUSABLE THAT THEY RUN THAT FASTBREAK OFF A MADE BASKET!
BROWNNNNNN!
Great defense by KO there. Forced the turnover.
Kelly looking good!I appreciate his strong offensive play but it only compensates for his bad defense.
Pretty embarrassing that there are guys who would rather be Dario Saric than Jaylen right now.
like that they're off to a better start than usual but Wall is making me nervous
Our defense has shown up tonight thus far. We have to keep up that intensity on D. Our offense however has missed several open looks and has had too many unforced turnovers. We should be up by 15, instead its a close game.Good summary. The should be way ahead.
Wiz basically Wall shooting 20 footers and them trying to get rebounds
Wiz not interested in playing defense

Bogdan was on Johnson's back, not the other way ??????
Kelly you crafty man!!

Yeah, lebron will start on the ft line.
Not good. 1st quarter is a success for the Wizards. They kept it close despite their poor play and our great defense.
Olynyk made an important play ? Amazing

I still can't believe that non-call. IT just got bulldozed. Really helped Washington go on that 6-0 run.
marcus is suffocating on D, straight up
Did someone tell the refs that we were actually playing in Washington or something??Seriously that ball was out of bounds on the baseline in the officials face amd of course never called
Wall resting and they are keeping it close this is not good
marcus is suffocating on D, straight upHe's dominating beal.
Agree and this is why a box score doesn't come anywhere near of showing marcus' impact on gamemarcus is suffocating on D, straight upHe's dominating beal.
but we'd probably be better off with randle...right...RIGHT!?marcus is suffocating on D, straight upHe's dominating beal.
Wall resting and they are keeping it close this is not good
Beal hasn't rested yet. Seems like Brooks is going to ride him hard tonight. How smart that is with a shooter I don't know, because you got to figure that late in the game he's not going to have the legs to hit shots.And we can throw a lot of players at him all game. Rozier, brown, smart
We should a new topic to see if randle is better than Smartbut we'd probably be better off with randle...right...RIGHT!?marcus is suffocating on D, straight upHe's dominating beal.
HA!We should a new topic to see if randle is better than Smartbut we'd probably be better off with randle...right...RIGHT!?marcus is suffocating on D, straight upHe's dominating beal.
IT is going to have to get going. If he's not scoring, he's ultimately a detriment out there due to his defense.and turnovers
Gortat's screens are so egregiously illegal.
Gortat's screens are so egregiously illegal.KG would be proud of those screens
Gortat's screens are so egregiously illegal.hes looking like Zaza out there
Gortat's screens are so egregiously illegal.
Not in an NFL game!
Even if Isaiah is not shooting well, he's giving his teammates great looks.
What is up with IT tonight?
What is up with IT tonight?
Forcing it too much. He has to let his teammates beat them. If Crowder and others hit open threes, it would open it up for IT later in the game.
- IT playing poorly;
- Shooting 3-11 on 3's;
- Getting a very, very lopsided whistles with an 11-5 foul disparity;
- Yet, we're up by 6.
I'd say that's favorable for us. Hopefully we get a fairer whistle the rest of this half and the next half and we start hitting some of these open shots.
Ughh I hate that foul call even though it benefits us.
Man, surely we can't continue to miss this many WIDE OPEN shots..stop calling me surely
I don't like that we are letting them stick aroundYup this is terrible and does not benefit the Celts
Celtics have played much better than Washington. Surprised they are not up more.
Ughh I hate that foul call even though it benefits us.
Gortat should've already fouled out!
No inside defense for the wiz. Need to keep going to the hole!If only we more guys that could take it to the hole.
Wiz have played like trash. And still going to lead at the half. Really poor close out of the halfI think the C's have not played well at all and kept the Wiz in it. Really worried now.
What a play --- Marcus
Isaiah is getting torched defensively :(
These refs are paid.
This is really p---ing me off. Smart can't do anything without a foul.
These refs are paid.
Thank god not listening to tommy with the first half calls. I'd be worried for his health.
LOL and NO CALL for Smart there..
This is such freaking BS! Two completely freaking different standards out there. They might as well put on a Wizards jersey.
did that look like Smart was fouled to anyone else?Honestly, not to me.
did that look like Smart was fouled to anyone else?
Wiz have been pretty average and still lead this game. Boston looks like they just don't want to be out thereCeltics were better ! Refs screwing This.
Don't want to be "punished for good defense"? Win game six.This is really p---ing me off. Smart can't do anything without a foul.
Welcome to the NBA, where you're punished for good defense
did that look like Smart was fouled to anyone else?

This feels like it may boil down to Wall + Beal versus Isaiah.
Two versus one.
They have two offensive superstars, the Celts have one.
Thomas can only do so much.

Yeah cause Smart definitely didnt get more contact on that then Beal. Its unreal. NBA wants John Wall to continue on so they can still ride him.
yeah the refs are horrible but we're allowing them to have an impact. we need to come out and play that game 5 defense.
Thomas is playing himself off the boston celtics future plansI thought he did that in Game 6.
every team has used that as their gameplan the last 3 years in the playoffs. it's not a new strategy and has shown to be very effectiveThis feels like it may boil down to Wall + Beal versus Isaiah.

This is crazy. The officiating is absolutely brutal right now. Am I the only one seeing this crew as biased towards the Wiz? Seems like the C's get called for more touch fouls.
Yeah cause Smart definitely didnt get more contact on that then Beal. Its unreal. NBA wants John Wall to continue on so they can still ride him.
Basically this. They are going to get what they get out of marketing IT and the current Celtics either way. This is about making Wall a household NBA Superstar name and marketing the Wizards.

Yep, I can't even count how many times his man has scored tonight. They've really been good at working that mismatch. IT is just helpless out there right now, and his offense isn't making up for his defensive deficiencies right now.
Right. Except Isaiah Thomas is a much better story. The problem is you actually have to deliver the goods, and after that 53 point game Thomas has been, well, the pizza guy.

Open looks need to go in. Plain and simple.No, you need to create high percentage shots. The 2008 Celtics won a championship by giving other team "open looks" on bad shots.
We're gonna win.

Yes, Isaiah's defense is a factor as well, but it's hard to put your opponent on their heels if they keep getting stops.

You have to recognize that Washington has adjusted their defensive strategy and it has largely worked apart from Game 5 when the "other guys" were lights out from deep.

I'll be happy when we move on from Bradley he can't dribble he's a terrible finisher and a streaky shooter. He's always injured too.Right now, I'd be happy to move on from anyone not named Al Horford. They have one half to prove me wrong.

We need something off the bench besides KO...who is playing very well. (Our little Kelly has benefited so much in these playoffs.)
IT has 12 to lead the team, but really not much of a factor because he's double and tripped teamed. He needs to make better decisions.

He's really, really good.
He reminds me of LeBron when he has a full head of steam.

McCutchen is personally responsible for at LEAST 8 Points for the Wizards...probably more---he's a complete moron, or he's crooked.
The Celtics were in control for almost the entire first half, but the Wizards hung close and managed to take a 2-point lead into the break.
since when is bad NBA officiating news? if you let them impact the game they will accommodate you.Pretty much. Also, for the purpose of this thread, consider I answered every complaint about the refs with, "Win game six".

Gotta get IT off Beal. He's heating up.
IT is really, really, really killing our defense.
And that is why Brown is a liability. Stupid 3 and then a foul
And that is why Brown is a liability. Stupid 3 and then a foulThe stupid three was on Crowder.
Jaylen's got to come out now.
Brown needs to get out of there. He's playing dumb ball now.
Beal is legit.
Wall is amazing.
This series is their coming out party.
Do people realize the Celts wouldn't score more than 80-90 points a game if they didn't have Isaiah?
I mean seriously.
Sure, but that doesn't explain why he's a mile late when they're coming off of picks.Beal is legit.
Wall is amazing.
This series is their coming out party.
I mean, that's not very difficult when they have such a defensive liability on them. There's literally nothing that IT can do to guard either of them. They can just shoot right over him.
Finally, someone on this team has a pulse.
Honestly, right now we are better with IT on the bench.
Can't win the game that way tho. We need to find a way to play IT and not get obliterated on D
Its hard to say this but, Isaiah Thomas might be better suited outta the game most of the night. There is just nowhere to hide him on the defensive end against that unit.
Getting destroyed on the boardsNah, chemistry and skillz are more important.
why is Crowder still shooting?Because they need him to contribute for the C's to win
Did Jaylen Brown just get a rebound while sitting down?
This game is going exactly how the Wizards would wantSomeone optimistically thought we weathered their best punch. I'm afraid it was the other way round.
Looks like Jaylen wants this game more than anyone.Him Smart and Al
He was pushed down prior to getting the ball, foulDid Jaylen Brown just get a rebound while sitting down?
He somehow jumped while sitting down. That was amazing.
I don't want to see Jae Crowder in a Celtics uniform next season. I am done with him. Give him the Jared Sullinger treatment, whatever.

Just nothing from Crowder. Just MIABradley too. Consistency has been an issue all year.
That shot Crowder missed wide open is sickening. A room full of a thousand ducks and a machine gun, he would miss all of ducks...blah

Pathetic. Two free throws missed. Can't lose those opportunities.

Beal being hot is on Brad. The continued guarding of Beal by IT letting him get going was just ridiculous and uncalled for.
Classic No No No YESsssssEvery time he shoots at this point...
On Smart's 3
Nice run with Wall and beal on the court. Going to have to rest them soon
Isaiah, SETTLE down. Maybe if I type in all caps, he'll hear me. He had several options there.
Classic No No No YESsssss

Let's close this game out strong, pull away, win, then lock in fultz tomorrow.

Nah I don't think Brooks is going to rest them. He's going to run them to the ground because it's a Game 7. I wouldn't rest them either.

SOME ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE D BY SMART THERE!!We've been really crisp moving in to close driving lanes this quarter. Keep it up.
I call DAGGER.
I call DAGGER.Twist it.
BURY THOSE COCKROACHESStinky cockroaches!!
Beal looks tired....Pushing the lead with there best three scorers on the floor
I call DAGGER.I'm not calling it unless we're up 20 with less than a minute to go.
BURY THOSE COCKROACHES
FINISH HIM (well, them)
I call DAGGER.
Way too early for that
This run started with our D, though. Let's not forget that. When IT was subbed out for Smart, we got stops and then made good, smart decisions to get buckets. And that's when you bring IT back in to mix things up offensively when we're in a good stretch already. Excellent rotation by Brad there. That's allowed IT to get going again.
Some people on this thread rail on Thomas too much. Nobody particular has been stellar on D thus far imo. Beal is lighting up whoever guards him.
I'm not sure what game you're watching, but it's not the same one the rest of us are watching. He's single-handedly been scored on for probably 30+ points.

Yep. That last turnover was a sign of lack of oxygen. Keep up the pace and blow them out!!! Step on their throats!!!
Brooks basically has played his starters the entire game - some shared minutes with Mahinmi and Bogdonovic. Jason Smith has 3 minutes and is -13.
BURY THOSE COCKROACHESStinky cockroaches!!
(http://www.joblo.com/newsimages1/karatekidcrane.jpg)TP -- captured the moment
Honestly it's probably pretty close to 30Some people on this thread rail on Thomas too much. Nobody particular has been stellar on D thus far imo. Beal is lighting up whoever guards him.

Probably not actually. Wish there was a way to look it up. You'd look foolish if there were. Way to continue to exaggerate.
Agree 100% with all of that. Our d turned the game around. Gotta keep it up.This run started with our D, though. Let's not forget that. When IT was subbed out for Smart, we got stops and then made good, smart decisions to get buckets. And that's when you bring IT back in to mix things up offensively when we're in a good stretch already. Excellent rotation by Brad there. That's allowed IT to get going again.
Was just about to post something similar... TP. Defense (and then rebounding) gave us a chance... then our offense made the most.

I call DAGGER.
Best part is Horford and AB are resting on the bench right now
lets give credit to KO for a fantastic game
The Celtics blew a lead. I'm shocked.HA! So true.
Morris is a clutch player. I don't like the dude but I respect him.He'd honestly be great starting at the 4 for us.
Best part is Horford and AB are resting on the bench right now.Well, might be time to bring them back in.
God I hate the NBA, but I love the NBA.
And just like that. Man, I'm not going to be able to take this much longer. IT in particular seems to waste possessions when we have a lead.

Just stop playing hard there...morris is such a scrub
The Celtics blew a lead. I'm shocked.I'd call that a response from Washington vs anything the C's didn't do.
He'd be a good fit hereMorris is a clutch player. I don't like the dude but I respect him.He'd honestly be great starting at the 4 for us.
Well -- textbook: How to lose a 13-point lead in 60 seconds. Geez. Down to 6 just like that.Well, you make shots when you take good shots. Otherwise you're just chucking and hoping averages won't catch up with you before the game is over.
Come on C's -- need to make shots.
Can Crowder stop taking threes? Smart gave up a wide open jumper for that. Come on, guys.

Its still a 2 possession game. Brad will stop that run nowI think he sensed them tiring and wanted to see if they could keep it going. That's probably out the window rest of the way.

It was that first shot up 11.And just like that. Man, I'm not going to be able to take this much longer. IT in particular seems to waste possessions when we have a lead.
I didn't mind that last shot. It was a pretty good look. Crowder looked like he was trying to draw the foul rather than make the three, though.
He won't look nearly as good when he isn't playing every game against us.He'd be a good fit hereMorris is a clutch player. I don't like the dude but I respect him.He'd honestly be great starting at the 4 for us.

Can't have Oly switched onto BealAnd yet they've managed to force this every time they wanted to.
Kelly answers
AB...
Brad, why is AB on Beal instead of Smart who has had success on him tonight?? This doesn't make any sense.

Oh, Kelly. Feed me the crow, buddy!hilarious
Who is this guy?!?!?Bird with a hair bun?
Thomas got fouled three times on that layup.Yeah, I saw that.
Gotta wonder how much Satan paid for KO's soul
Sources tell me that after Larry Bird resigned from the Pacers, he was seen purchasing a Kelly Olynyk mask.
This blog (including myself) owes that man a lot of ****ing apologies
Two minutes of tough D -- keep the train rolling. Let's go C's. Let's go!
BALLIN!!!
OLY!!!!
Sorry KO. I owe you an apology....he's going to get a fat contract this summer
I'll never say another bad word about you KO

Man our bench hasn't let up on their starters tonight. Great team game. Finish with defense47-5 I believe.
We get to get waxed by the Cavs!
Hahahahaha!!!! Love this Celtics team. MVP to KO and Jaylen.
give credit to the wizards...if they just had a decent bench ...
good team.
Yes, Yes...smart and Brown turned tide and Kelly finished them off in 4th!! Imagine if someone had predicted that.But, but, but....don't you understand? that can't be. we can't possibly win with those guys. we didn't take Randle, Dunn or Giannis. this is impossible!! ;)

This is fantastic !
WHAT KO just did cannot be overlooked. GAME 7 is a different animal, and you must be clutch to show up in a game 7.
HE WAS CLUTCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
24 to 17 foul discrepancy. Yup I'm still going to complain. That includes intentional fouls at the end of the 4th on the Wiz.

Go to Costco and buy the 24-pack. I have a feeling that others on CB might want a couple.

TP to Phantom for staying undefeated being the first one to post in FLCelts' Game Threads in these playoffs!
This game 7 win should be HUGE for free agency this summer. And when we make a competitive series against Cleveland, which I firmly believe we will (people are overreacting to the Toronto series), it's going to be even bigger.
