We have 2 TOs which wont' really matter if we take a bad shot on that possession. Still can't close games. Thanks, Brad.
Well, maybe I was wrong :P
Ha ha ha... great piece of humble pie koz. Tp to wash it down  ;D
Frankly, though, Brad wouldn't look that smart if Carmelo can hit a FT. But I'll take the win.

Great coaching by cbs to keep the team cool and play well at the end.woo woo

CBS is a great coach!
Well, when Carmelo can't make a free throw, Brad looks like veritable genius.

It makes up for us missing Kyrie, Hayward, Smart, Theis, Brown.  ;D

Oops... I turned it off with 25ish seconds left and OKC up by six.

You can't ever turn off this Celtics team. They have too many crazy comebacks.

A do the other hand, adams shoots them at 57% but made all four late in the game. It evens out.

Tatum has grown fast these last few games. He made some excellent passes out of the double teams towards the end tonight, where he was throwing the ball away or forcing shots the past few games in the same situations.

Tatum has been amazing and will get so much better next year it will be scary.

If we can stay healthy (crosses fingers) next year is going to be a lot of fun!

Since the Irving injury Tatum has scored more, but that didnt surprise me at all.

What's impressed and surprised me has been his growth as a passer. He's gonna be special.

Check the KG video, scroll down:

Love it! KG is hilarious.


They really need to run his back healthy next year. Imagine the continued growth of Tatum, Brown, and Rozier WITH Gordon Hayward? The first two are progressing into future stars, Rozier shows flashes of stardom, and lest we forget what Hayward is all about?

Keep Smart on a deal that makes sense, try to get Monroe back here. I’m even hoping Larkin and Baynes return.

I really don’t know how we handle the roster next year? Who gets moved to the bench? Does Brown or Tatum? Can a Tatum/Horford starting frountxourt work?

Can a team be too deep?

Irving/Rozier/Larkin
Brown/Smart
Hayward/Morris/Semi?
Tatum/Theis
Horford/Monroe?/Baynes?

That’s not including our first rounder (stash?).

Danny may need to package some guys for another superstar.


Yes it has been a rough year dealing with injuries, but whoever gets called upon puts it all out there. They’ve won countless games nobody gave them a chance. Nobody in the second half against Charlotte. Short-handed against Toronto. Massive comeback against OKC. Miraculous steal against Indy. The Rockets comeback and finish. Horford’s buzzer beater against Portland. Beating GSW when all eyes were on that showdown because of our streak. This win tonight. His doesn’t include all the near wins we narrowly missed.

How many games are we down and counted out only for Brad to get these guys to believe and execute? This team shows grit and heart every night. Our championship aspirations were probably squashed 5 minutes into the season, but Ainge did this right. This is a talented team.

Oh KG!
