Celtics (25-55) at Sixers (17-63) Game #81 4/14/14

Ugh.  Falling apart against a historically bad team and knowing it's probably for the best.  Put a pin in this season already.

Yeah Jeff Green 5 second call is just silly.

[hpantazo]

alight, I'm confused now. Who should we root for, Utah or the Lakers?

[Mazingerz]

Kelly is -13. 

Pressy is -24 vs the worst team in league history right now in only 15 minutes of play, while KO has gotten his +/- down to -9.  I think that some of the blame there should go on Pressey and not necessarily the 7 foot guy who can hit his shots

MCW is an awful matchup for Pressey. He's shredded him repeatedly this year.

Olynyk at least adds some shooting and scoring even if he's bad defensively. Definitely a charge in my book.

Almost every NBA point guard is a bad match up for Pressey.  I really don't want to be overly negative about him, but I don't think he belongs in the NBA.  For all the talk of people who say we should finish strong to teach good habits, I mean a lot of the guys on our team have no business on a serious NBA basketball team.  If we are going to be competitive, it will be with them deep on the bench or somewhere else like Spain or China. 

Pressey is an incredibly skilled dude, but his body just isn't meant for the league.  He is too small and not quick enough.

Bigger issue is he can't shoot - at all.

He can still be a capable back-up PG; play spot minutes per game say 5 to 10 minutes

[SCeltic34]

Horrible refs.  What's new.

That was a clean block on Green too.

I'd say the Lakers. But honestly it makes little difference.

[satch]

Again... KO has been ON FIRE for 2 straight months.  Only difference the past two games is that he's getting starter minutes instead of 20 bench minutes.  His shooting percentages have been elite.

The same thing could be said for Pressey when he starts.

[esel1000]

Lakers fans are steaming. They'll cry if they win tonight

[Smokeeye123]

ip8rb;eorgiwu;etp if we win this game I am going to punch my pillow and kick rocks SO HARD

[Neurotic Guy]

Amazing.  All I want is a nice easy loss.

[get_banners]

i think...ideal (ping pong ball) situation is we lose tonight and wednesday, jazz beat LA, then LA beats the spurs (who rest all their starters).

[LarBrd33]

Lakers are tanking vs Utah.  Settin themselves up for the #4 pick. 

[YoungOne87]

[dang] this finish is full of fail

I'd say the Lakers. But honestly it makes little difference.

It's tough but if all things are equal, I want the Lakers to lose.  I think since we lost though, we want them to win to get a leg up on them with ping pong balls.  It's really hard to root for them though, even though I want to get a better pick than them sooooo bad.  I know so many Lakers fans, it would be great to rub it in their face

[Roy H.]

Wow.  Just, wow.

[SCeltic34]

What the hell was that Rondo?
