Celtics (1-2) at Bulls (2-1) PO Game #4 4/23/17

Glad Brad read the adjustments thread here on cb.

Play Green, go small at 4 with Crowder/Jerebko.

Shortening the bench and playing starters more. Swung the game at a critical point in the game.

Yeah. Amazingly enough Amir Johnson didn't even play. Tell me again how Randle wouldn't play on this team. I guess KO would keep him off the floor or something.

Randle have low defensive IQ and have no game outside the post. At least KO is smart enough for help defense although he puts little resistance with contact.

Randle puts up mediocre numbers on a bottom dwelling team and Smart is on the court at the end of games for a playoff team.

Yeah. And at the beginning of the game he was sitting the bench watching Gerald Green. Because he has no offense. And offense wins basketball games. Even in the playoffs.

And Randle's home, like he is at this time every year. And Smart was on the floor in the 4th!!

Lol Hoiberg going off on the refs saying that IT gets to carry the ball all game long, which is why he's been so good.

This guy is a joke of a coach. Can't make adjustments, so let's blame the refs in a game that was clearly favored for the Bulls by the officials. Hell, their star player had more free throws than our entire team... Yeah, Fred, the officials lost you this game.

Imagine if he was coach of the Celtics today... What would he think about the referees ?

haha, i'm gonna think about that and the fact that Hoidberg is not our coach to go to sleep

Good night everyone

Yes, smart was great toward the end. The defense as always. But. Those touch passes were great.

Did. You see how butler was stymied by smart on most possessions?

And thank you mr. Green for the first half.

Randle or Aaron Gordon or Elfrid Payton or any other player could ride IT's coattails too.

He has some nerve to complain about the refs, after they kept his team in the artificially with their bogus calls.

Smart is significantly better than those players.

It really isn't close. Randle doesn't have 1/10 of the BBQ Smart has.

Randle is not a very good basketball player.

We would be worse if he were on the team instead of Smart, and this game was evidence of that.

I wouldn't trade Smart for all three of those guys!

[hpantazo]

The legend of IT is growing now that he's getting some long awaited playoff success! Keep it up IT!

Agreed. It was pathetic and desperate

He literally put the team on his back when the game was spiraling out of control in the 3Q.

Smart did look a little pudgy at the start of the season. I think it's well within the realm of possibility that Randle doesn't have as good a barbecue.

I think it's great that Smart did so well in the 4th quarter. Better late than never, because he wasn't there the first three.

He's desperate to win this series and keep his job. He's reaching for whatever he can. Hopefully this doesn't have the same effect that Lebron and Lue's postgame whining does on the refs.

[Ogaju]

Fred Hoidberg is saying refs helped IT tonight and in the whole series because he "carries" the ball.

Haha, dear Fred.

A Bull whining about referees about tonight's game

LOL I hope he gets fined for being an idiot. HAHA!!
