How many open 3's did Rozier miss?

[SparzWizard]

Welp, there goes the #1 seed

[Valid]

Absolutely terrible loss. This is what they get for being effing entitled and not coming out to play at the beginning.

In a lot of ways, I'm just ready to be done with this season. This team is so infuriating. Other than a select few players, they think they're much better than what they are, and every single time they lose that chip on their shoulder, they play terribly.

Just a terrible, terrible loss and really shows where this team is at. It's not the best team in the East, not when it can't even put together 48 straight minutes of hard work, intensity, and solid play 7 games before the playoffs.

Or, you chalk it up to the fact that "it's basketball" and that losses can happen and you move on?

What will Brad draw up?

I'm betting on IT as a decoy and Smart or AB taking the shot (probably AB after a screen by Al)

If Smart takes the final shot, Stevens should be fired on the spot.

I had a bad stream, but was Bradley not wide open for a corner 3?

Broken play, Giannis got his long arms on the inbound pass, deflected it, there was a bit of a scramble, and Smart ended up with it with chance at a heave from well beyond the line. He did try to get fouled on the shot, which threw him off. But it was very unlikely to go in no matter what.

Definitely not as good as their record. They let their foot off the gas every time things start to go really well. Playing their hearts out against GS doesn't mean much when they turn around and coast to losses against the Bucks and Nuggets.

This team's demise will be the fact that they tend to think they are better than they really are.

People need to stop overrating this team so you can be prepared for what's about to happen in the playoffs. Most of these players won't be around in a few years they will be used for trades. Ainge and Stevens are doing a masterful job playing up these players that are nothing but role players. They will be used as chips in trades. The team is a 5"8 superstar with a bunch of role players do people really think they are going to go on a run in the playoffs?

When you come out the way we came out tonight, which is the way we've come out against teams all season, you deserve the L. 

Number 1 seed and they blew it.  This was their chance to prove they earned and deserve that spot and it wasn't due to some unfotunate situation with other teams that put them there and they still couldn't pull it off.

If they need some kind of prophesy, this is how tough and gritty every team will play us come playoffs.  It's up to us to take it to another level as well.  But i've been on Brad Stevens on this one that we're not as good as our record.

You can't keep playing catchup in games and expect to win.

[jpotter33]

This team's demise will be the fact that they tend to think they are better than they really are.

Yep. And Brad has been saying this exact thing for like a month now.

We're simply not good or talented enough to not play with that chip on our shoulder. Hopefully we can "turn it on" in the playoffs, but I'm just confident in that if we can't do it 7 games before the playoffs even start.

Jeeze, i hope you dont live near any cliffs. We lost a tough game to a playoff team. Can you name a team that has played intense for 48 straight minutes? It doesnt happen. Guys miss shots and have lapses defnsively.

If it were just this one game then, yes, chalk it up to "things happen." It wasn't. The intensity of this team and the one from last year are on two different levels.

Thought a couple of those others were 3's.  He missed 4 total in the 2nd half that I saw and all were wide open.

[CelticSooner]

If you play everyone close you can't win them all. Would I would like to know is why the C's come out so flat on two days rest? Bucks played last night but you would think the roles were reversed. Where's the energy?!

[SparzWizard]

This team ain't winning any championships for sure this season even with the #1 seed, but it's good to see them thrive from last year to this year. Plus, we got the Brooklyn pick.

C's haven't gotten past the first-round since 2012, so we've yet to see how capable they are in the postseason.
