Celtics (10-17) at Wizards (20-8) Game #28 12/27/14

Gonna be tough to stomach another four months of this.

Could be another 4 years at least.

Wow. 4 years of this. Wow. Suddenly the 8th seed is looking pretty good

The 8th seed with a whole bunch of picks to use for improvement.  Much better than a full on tank when there are better tankers.

I wonder what Pierce thinks of all of this...

"Thank God I'm not a Celtic right now."

I didn't want to go there, but after tonight's effort...

[satch]

This is the second year of the rebuild. Not seeing any improvement...

I'm trying to imagine what sort of discussions Ainge and Stevens are having?  Both have a lot invested in Stevens being a success but Ainge was an NBA coach.  He can't think this is ALL on the players.

I feel really bad about asking this, but if everyone is down right now, you can always laugh at my latest attempt at stand up, lol.  It's under off topic.  Laugh at me, laugh at my 'jokes' or even both - whatever.  We need something right now, lol.  You know, aside from alcohol for those of you who enjoy that stuff, lol.

No one can convince me that Stevens rotations aren't a big problem. ALL OF OUR HEALTHY PLAYERS DON'T HAVE TO PLAY!!!


How do you pull KO when our team was at least getting something going. He is young enough to play 30+ minutes with no problem. KO went to the bench and the game was over from there!

Jameer can't guard me! Wall had little going until Jameer stepped into the game, each time down he abused him.

EVERYBODY DOES NOT HAVE TO PLAY. Even if you think the players aren't more talented than the guy behind him, what does the game tell you?? You look better when some people are in than when their talented backup is in for them.

People talking about AB's shooting, okay, he is off shooting but AT LEAST he clamped Beal. Other "people" missed most of their shots but somehow they get a pass, when their D was terrible!


WHY DOES BRAD THINK EVERYONE HAS TO PLAY??? Trying to be buddy buddy instead of coach! Might be too nice for the NBA, these are MEN, not college kids even though they are still young!!!

"Thank God I didn't have to live this a second time. I understand how they feel because I actually remember how it was before the Big 3!"

Seems like people don't remember anything before the Big 3. I wasn't even a fan and I remember watching some of it.

Nelson sux. Wall torched him.

Wright has been disappointing.

Zeller is a good offensive player but just ok defensively. Def a backup cebter

I dont know what sully is doing tonight. He thinks he is ray allen

Stevens visibly p---ed in the press conference...

Needs to be ticked at Stevens! Ugh.

I knew that I should have been more specific, lol.  I meant his view of the direction of the franchise, etc.

But he's not dumb enough to think that Stevens can turn this team into a contender, no one could

You must be referring to when asked about getting Smart prepared for the next time and he responded something like "Like what I said...." then he expanded on that........that's the closest I've seen to him being impatient with the press in his tenure.

Stevens is reaching his breaking point. It seems odd he said "It was obvious they weren't going to let us back in the game" also.

We have three days off before our next game. Any chance we get a trade in?

He only needs to look in the mirror.  He needs to decide on the 8 or 9 man rotation that he thinks will work best and stick with it over the next 15 - 20 games.
