Celtics (11-21) at Nets (16-18) Game #33 1/7/15

[Chief]

9 games in a row for Smart after injuries.

13/30 from 3, 43%.

Still wish he would drive more.

Looking more comfortable all round.

A win!!!

From what I have seen, he doesn't drive much because he can't beat his man on the first step. Hope that is still a result of his injury and not a permanent issue.

You sprain your ankle real bad, it makes you think about driving it hard for a long time.

No matter what AB does, no one will give him props.


Let's take this game and the chat about him in here... he comes back in with Green and immediately gets crap for Green's poor defense and play. Talking about the bench as if AB wasn't efficient, leading scorer, and he clamped Jack and anyone else he switched onto!

I get that AB hasn't been mediocre this season but even when he does play well, there are people still in the wings ready to trash him.

In no way did he have a bad game on either end. I swear, some people LOVE when our players under perform. I can understand you trashing people when they aren't playing well but how do you manage to find a negative in how AB played tonight?

I think you are dead on.....flying though the air and landing wrong on it this soon..is not what he wants to do ...plus he strained the Achilles too.

So ...yeah he doesn't need to take chances flying around the rim for a few months

I don't know why we played better. Mostly likely a few reasons. I am just happy every player wasn't forced into the game and he let people play and make mistakes. They all seemed more comfortable. Some people are going to get mad when it comes to DNP but as a coach you gotta take that and keep pushing.

Neither Nets nor 76ers fans get half off of their pizza tomorrow, lol.

6ers are use to it. Although, didn't they change it to a amount of points scored? I guess they missed that mark too?

Serves the bloody buggers right I say !

  I was pretty much expecting this win, we almost won the last game against the Nets. 

I don't take this win as really proving anything other than the Nets being terrible.  Pretty much the only time we win.

Yeah, the Nets just have to win, but the 76ers have to score at least 90 points, lol.  Ahaha.

I don't want to read through the entire game, but I'm not sure how anyone could say Bradley played poorly tonight.

He shot a great percentage from the floor, took quality shots and played very good defense. The only time Bradley got beat was when he was forcing the ball away from the screen and the help didn't arrive in time.

I will always be a Bradley supporter. He plays so hard on defense. People don't like the long two's off the dribble but if you think about who can create a shot for themselves on this team you will realize he takes those shots out of necessity not because he's a chucker.

Nice win, C's

[The_Truth]

I was on the game and was impressed by Marcus Smart and Jae Crowder. Great game by the team overall! 

[cb8883]

Horrible game. We fell behind in the real standings. Tank Harder Celtics

[TwinTower14]

Another solid game by Smart, he is really settling in out there.  I think by February or March we will see the real Marcus Smart and we will all be happy the C's grabbed him at 6...

Deron Williams broke a rib last night?  Wow.
