Celtics (0-2) at Pistons (1-1) Game #3 11/3

[Shamrocker]

Oh, and by the way, kudos to coach Stevens for having the stones to bench Jeff Green down the stretch in that game.

I sure didn't miss him.  Wake up, Jeff.

Huh? The guy shot 60% tonight. Don't quite understand the criticism, sorry.

Green and Sullinger getting major bench time. Stevens either sucks completely or is on strict orders to tank

What?!!  I know you can't have watched that ball game.  Those two sucked tonight.  They didn't deserve to be out there down the stretch in favor of guys who seemed to care about the outcome.

Bradley single handedly shut off any chance we had to win the game.

He about single handedly ruined our first quarter too.  Apparently he was channeling his inner Iverson tonight.  He was a missed jumper and turnover machine.

I'm proud of them tonight.  This is a real shame.  I hope we don't hear any nonsense about selfishness from Gerald Wallace after this one.

I agree.  Definitely earned the moral victory tonight.  The Celtics fought hard in this game, and did a lot of things well.  They never gave up.  But they simply don't have anybody who can run this offense, and the interior defense is pretty poor.

Chalk up another one boys.  3 down, 79 to go!

Very curious as to why Stevens benched JG. Hope he get asked.

Either he benched Green because he's being passive or he's going into the disgraceful road of tanking.

I hope it's the former. Jeff should be more aggressive and I sure hope Stevens is giving him his due. Don't want to move on the court, then sit down.

Benching Fav though is a real head scratcher.

Also, nobody died. That's a positive.

Sorry, I haven't seen the box score yet.  I felt like he had the right guys on the floor to close out that game.  Maybe Crawford for Lee would have been nice, but hindsight's 20/20.

Bradley killed us down the stretch.  Bad pass by Courtney Lee and he didn't step towards it (it was on Lee too)  but layup.   Two back to back TO's.   The PG experiment should end and hide him in a corner where he can drill the shot.   I realize we need his D but he is not a PG.

Is Humphries hurt?

Yeah what's wrong with Hump??

Can we get atleast a 10 day contract while waiting for Pressy to comeback... fish is available i think he's serviceable PG

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

saying this team wins 25 is a HUGE STREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETCH at this point. 15 is more like it.

He is not a pg. Not sure it's his fault.

Olynyk with a good game 15pts and 7reb but the turnovers kills us.

Balance was there when KO and MBrooks were playing.  But coach decided to close with CLee.

Can't close with AB and CL.  They are basically the sme player with basically same weaknesses.

Is Pressey hurt?

Olynyk earned the minutes at center.  He was our best interior defender.  Coach Stevens did a lot of good things out there.  He took some risks and they almost paid off.

He had his fighters out there down the stretch.  You can't fault Brad for that. 

[BleedGreen1989]

Crap on my face and fast forward to April please.

I'm not sure how or why Wallace plays over Green.

That was confusing to me too.
