Idk Y fans are lamenting all over the board. I like this game a lot. Couple things:

Offense is very well executed almost every time. Guys are a little too streaky. Tons of open shots, but did not go in. 45.4% percent seems good, but should be at least 50 given the looks they are getting.

Defensively, the rotation is so much better, its not like they didnt try or didnt get back to D in transition like they did last night.

Guys played with energy, played their game. Spurs were hot. Danny Green is red hot, Neal's floater makes him look like D-wade. I mean good game by Spurs. But good solid L for the C's to build on.

Really? They looked like a good team, (Which they are) toying with a garbage team. (Which we are)

They shot nearly 50% from three. We have been awful guarding the perimeter this year. We also keep making Tiago Splitter look like a Hall of Famer.

We stink folks. Good teams pretty much have owned us this year. Other than the Thunder game, good teams beat us. End of story.

I heard u dog. but Tony Parker made some superstar plays(bad plays) and it went in when the game is tight at the fourth.Again, Celtics shrink the D very well tonight. Sometimes late contest against the three, but SA is too hot tonight from out there.
We dont stink. Guys are starting to get it. I can see that.

The game was 55-55 four minutes into the third quarter.  Rondo missed a layup,a SA journeyman bangs a three.  Pierce misses a layup, a SA journeyman hits a three.  KG misses a bunny, and a SA journeyman hits a J.  Two HOFers and a multi-time all star can't convert simple shots, two scrubs can make their shots for the Spurs and it's an 11 point game on the road  on the second night of a road B2B. 

The Celtics do suck right now.  Their great players have to play at least good for them to win games.  Their role players haven't established their roles yet.  This is a very frustrating team to watch.

When we are reduced to calling a 15-point loss "solid," then times are tough in Celtics Nation.

4th quarter was awful and Parker torched the C's.

Not a good game down the stretch which is a big problem.
