Celtics (16-2) at Heat (7-9) Game #19 11/22/17

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

it was a great run while it lasted.  have to hope they realize they can't keep screwing around to begin a game and think they can just turn it on with a few minutes to go in the 4th and get a win.

THANK U

It took the most bull**** three from Dion Waiters to end the streak. Just keep that in mind.

very true. That guy is a ball chucker. His shots hit the back of the rim

Heat shot like 48%?

What you gonna do with that? Crush them in Boston that's what.

16 in a row not bad! We are only just beginning our amazing run of titles. Proud of the effort at end. We need some scorers off the bench. Danny, find that unicorn.

It was fun while it lasted. This team just need to regroup and build a new streak.

Celtics have been lucky in the 4th, got unlucky tonight. Horford and Smart missing key free-throws. Dion Waiters randomly playing well again.

But those early deficits are a problem and Brad's gotta sort it out. The team can't keep on coming back from double-digits.

[blink]

On a night that we looked like garbage most of the night, we still had it within 1 point with less than 3 minutes left.  Our clutch plays just didn't happen as often tonight.

I would like to see us lay a beating on our next opponent, that is Orlando right?
Get home and lay a blowout on them....

[SparzWizard]

Al Horford 7pts and 9 rebounds tonight? Missing critical free throws?

His max contract is not making him worth it....

Different ballgame had kyrie and Al sunk their missed FTs.

Knew they would come back but I also knew that at some point these comeback games are gonna bite back and it did so right now.


Oh well..at least I aint worrying about trying to sustain a streak...on to the next.

No excuse being down to the heat by double digits in the first half.

[Banner18now!]

Can't get down double digits every game and expect to pull it all the time. This team needs another scorer off the bench.

[KGs Knee]

Hopefully with the winning streak over they can regain their focus and get back to playing fundamentally sound basketball.

Also, it'd help if we had a proper backup PG instead of the Brick Bros.

[BringToughnessBack]

Maybe Horford partied in Atlanta..he did look winded all game.

I don't think it's fair to say they screw around at the start. We built big leads vs the Lakers and the Mavs early in the game, but we NEED someone on the bench to score points and maybe more importantly, we have to stop the Smart/Rozier backcourt for long stretches. It just hasn't worked.

We're a great 2nd half team.  Obviously that was a trash 1st half but I don't doubt for a second that we can easily come back and win.

Yep one thing that these double digit comebacks have shown is that this team doesn't give up.
They may not be executing well but you can't really write them off on the basis of a bad half.

Winning while playing poorly is invaluable. That said at some point it's going to come back and bite them in the bum.

 And the poor starts  finally came back to bite them in the bum.  They fought hard to the end though
