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

Please stop blaming officiating... It happens both ways and usually evens out

NO!  if u think the NBA has COMPETENT OFFICIATING and is fair and always equals out i really do not know what to say

Ok so the officials are out to single out the celts?

Cmon... Every team feels they were robbed

Why dont th Celts fans then blame the refs if the opponents lose due to "bad" officiating?

They are humans not perfect robots. It evens out

Watch this vid of Bulls/Nets Game 6 in 2013 (one of the refs was Tom Donaghy's phone friend Scott Foster). I remember this series vividly, it flew under the radar because neither team was a true contender.

Believe it or not, Game 4 was 10x worse. Me and  friend who is a Laker fan watched it and were in disbelief. I wasn't rooting for either team but it was obvious the refs wanted the Nets to win. By the end of the third OT I was rooting for the Bulls because they'd done so well against the NBA's cheating. I also lost all respect for D-Will and the Nets, who couldn't close out a game where they were spotted 20+ points on some of the most bizarre and creative calls I've ever seen.

If I recall this was right after they moved to Brooklyn.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I don't understand how crowder has gone from one of my favorite players to an absolute bum.. he may have the worst shot selection in nba history. Smart was trash tonight and also threw up some of the dumbest shots if you can even call them that..

I like Crowder, but he has been choking a lot of 3pt shots in this series.

He needs to drive to the rim more to get himself going.

I feel he's been missing on his drives too.  I won't be at all surprised to hear that he's gotten a procedure done on his ankles at the end of the season.

Yeah, it seems whenever he gets hurt he falls off a cliff.

Totally upset...please give me a reason the Cs should win on Monday; because right now, I am not feeling it. The Cs went into this game ready to give their best and it wasn't enough. We could be in for a big let down (and the 1st home loss between the teams) in game 7.

Well...the bench cannot be any worse than they were tonight. And they still had the game in the bag

Playing at home. Place is going to be electric. And that will help Boston

To me...this was the Wiz game 7...cannot see them duplicating this effort on the road.

[CelticsElite]

This is ITs first game 7. Important milestone for him

[celticinorlando]

I will accept the fate against the Cavs...but getting to the ECF this year would be a huge step. They need to continue the tradition of winning game 7s in Boston

[j804]

I think they'll be fine the bench was terrible and they prob should have won. That three from Wall should not have fell

[celticinorlando]

Smart and Crowder have to be better. They have to show up on both ends.

[RockinRyA]

Brown and smart strictly became defensive players tonight

Zero offensive production.... So tired of smart missing FTs... 81 percent ft shooter... Act like it in the playoffs

Olynyk passing up shots... That was foolish

Olynyk passing up shots is really problematic because it gives the pressure to his teammates to create another good look with so little time on the clock.

Homecourt advantage and bench will not lay an egg like they did tonight here.

11 playoff elimination games have ended on the road this season. I don't like our chances on Monday at all. Tonight was the best this Celtics team could put in. Wizards have the hot hand in Game 7.

If it makes anyone feel better, the C's were down 110-104 with 2:40 to go in game 2 and sent it into OT and got the win.  So, the Wizards "gave one away" to us in this series just like we gave one to them.  It's just more painful when you are the one giving it away.  As others have mentioned, that's why we worked so hard for home court advantage.  Game 7 in Boston.  Couldn't ask for more.  Go C's!

[jambr380]

Just hoping IT doesn't keep dribbling the ball off his feet/knees - careless turnovers are difficult to overcome. I honestly think we are better off with him in this series as a spark plug than as a supposed main contributor. Other than game 2, he hasn't looked the part of max player.

[SparzWizard]

Sigh Smart only 1 point tonight? Julius Randle would not have let this happened.

Wha are you smoking? Game 5 was much better than game 6. An who are you to say who will have the hot hand in game 7?
