Celtics (3-2) at Wizards (2-3) Round 2 Game 6 5/12/17

[obnoxiousmime]

Awful late game execution on both ends made that game winner possible.

not sure why he gave him so much cushion. Doesn't make sense.

Brad had GREAT plays down the stretch. And Bradley did the right thing, you don't press up on John Wall.

The hell you don't. In that situation press up all the way on him.

He's a 32% 3PT shooter and he was wayyyy behind the line. Press up and he'll drive on you and possibly kickout to Beal, a 40% 3PT shooter.

Hindsight is 20/20, but that loss hurt. I hope the team can get up for game 7.

Yep we got beat by one great shot. We'll be back.

Yes, but a 2 pt. shot ties the game. Only a 3 pt. can really hurt you.

I know Horford ended up making the shot, but should the Celtics have played for the last shot on that possession? The game was tied, and I believe the shot clock was turned off. The worst case scenario is overtime.

Unfortunately no, the clock was not turned off, the Wizards would have had time left on the clock either way.

Yeah, there was like a 4 second differential.  Al had a great look, too.  No biggie.

The 5 point lead we had at the end, when it looked like we had a win... wasn't handled very well.
Starting at the trap of IT leading to the turn over...

Game 7 in Boston should be "the jungle"

Yeah, I don't think we were prepared for that trap, honestly.  Brooks made a nice move, there.  But I'm confident Celtics will win 7 at home.

The Beal three was the one that hurt. Goes from up 5 to up 2 on one shot

We've been the better team the last 2 games, which is a nice shift from the previous couple.

We have game 7 at home where the NBA can't extend the series for TV $ any longer.

We are in good shape.

performance wise good points. we need to play like game 5 again at home and not get down big like games 1 and 2.

I know Horford ended up making the shot, but should the Celtics have played for the last shot on that possession? The game was tied, and I believe the shot clock was turned off. The worst case scenario is overtime.

nah, there was like a 5 second difference

Ah, ok. Nevermind then.

The Celtics are historically 17-3 when playing a game 7 in Boston

Was not a fan of smart tonight.

Smart sucked. 

I honestly think he's part of the reason it's been so hard for IT to score lately.  When he's on the court, the defense can completely ignore him.  I love everything else he does, but he has to come back a better offensive player next season or come back in a new uniform.

[kraidstar]

Game 7 is going to be a blowout either way. I do not see a close game.

The C;s players are going to be very angry after this game.

I see us coming out hard.

If the fans get riled up enough the C's will get a nice advantage.

Might get a ticket myself.

[PAOBoston]

Such a missed opportunity. They had it and let it slip away.

Bad feeling about Monday now.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

but yeah we finally had a decent showing on road with a shot and blew it. game 7's are wild cards we shall see who shows up mad or not.mi'm fuming if i am celtics right now

Wall: "Don't come to my city wearing all black."

Lol. He seems more interested in his image than winning basketball games.  He got gifted on a bad shot.  He should be thinking about how he could've gotten a higher %age shot rather than beating his own chest.

[celticinorlando]

Just p--- poor management the last minute. up 5 and losing. Just can't happen. Let them off the hook

[Somebody]

I think we'll win game 7, for one our bench won't disappear like they did in game 6. Also the team receiving bad calls will be Washington instead of us so we'll be catching breaks when it's a close game.

Unfortunately past events have no relation to the next game.

Wall: "Don't come to my city wearing all black."

Lol. Wall is a clown that's far more interested in his image than winning basketball games.  He got gifted on a bad shot.  He should be thinking about how he could've gotten a higher %age shot rather than beating his own chest.

Dude, he has scoreboard.
