Congrats Celts you are the team to beat this season imo. But not yet over, lots of games to play and Heat’s been in a lot more difficult and dire situation. Go Heat!
I guess some Bos fans gonna visit here again and check us out haha
See you in playoffs. Or not lol
brown and tatum in april still rather have jimmy
You do know Jimmy didn’t make a conference finals till he was 30? Tatum has made four before his 25th birthday.
this is getting really ugly, we will be the 1st team to lose by 60 lol
Nah just a team that made 10pts in the 4th lol
were u formally zach karp?
reggie with this white sht again again again ridiculous
why is bam out there
pls take bam out spobot
if u cant play d u cant play in this league. we have guys that cant play d so obvious.cant win with one way players.maybe one thats it
celts are making lots of uncontested shots.nba players gonna make those shots
Folks, I don’t get the feeling we are going to catch up tonite. I’m not going to far out in a limb in saying that.
Now, a little I told everyone so. This is how wide the gap got between us. Jimmy used to carry us. If he isn’t playoff Jimmy, we can’t compete without improving from outside. Rozier was a nice step and getting JJJ back will help even more. But, maybe not enough. But, there were people saying we had enough before we got Rozier and that was far from real. I understand how anyone could think that with last year. But, Father Time has intervened. We are still a decent team, but how good is to be determined up till the trade deadline. We may still need more. Let’s see how the next five or so games go.
Yep…but hope they just make it closer in the end. The gap does look so wide but im not losing hope ’till the fat lady sings this season. Its Terry’s second game. Need a few more I guess. I just want to avoid that play-in and go from there. We’ll see
lets pls judge when jjj back im think hes our best player currently
That’s a heavy burden for Jaime. He is probably is our third best player and we miss him.
just wait 30 i guarantee our team will look better with him
Bos: take that Heat! That’s for being on our head since last playoffs 😁😆
brown is happy not to see oladipo anymore
no jimmy spobot save wear and tear
Heading towards 5th loss in a row. It’ll drop us to 7th.
if spo cant see the defensive deficiencies of ty n dunc he may need to go to an eye dr
This feels like deja vu. We lose to the Celtics big once, we win big once, two other games are contested affairs, and then the playoffs happen.
jjj will be back soon hes our best player.after watching jim bam ty think jjjs the best of the bunch.
Celtics shooting over 60 percent for the whole game, I guess that’s sustainable for them.
Celts good at making changes it seems compared to last season. Lead goes up again. Really the team to beat in the east most likely. Hate to face them as the 8th seed just saying
Need to make another trade
ty n dunc dont work dam it spobot
That certainly is not the main problem in this game, lol!
defense main problem they dont help that sir
This deficit goes a lot deeper than 2 players. Everybody sucked tonight, dude
lets give swider, cain, hampton some burn. this game is over
cain should be in the rotation.
if hh not gonna look to score pull him
brown and tatum still in prime jimmys not. in april ill take jimmys savvy over brown or tatum
Hope that’s still true come playoffs. Seems Jimmy lost a step this regular season
playoffs mind set changes
porzingis more fragile than tua
f the celts rather lose to the knicks that these bums
Sometimes you win the battle but lose the war.
porzy hurt somethings never change
Yup. They are a regular season team like the 76ers. Their main bigs are injury prone like a mofo
Porzingis, yet another injury
I said make it close…not make them close this game out in the 3rd
Celtics just too hot
Yeah that is tough to match up against when they are over 50% from 3
They are just not missing
reggie quick kissing whites ass jeez hes an ok player not an all star
Um, I think they just said he is an all star
No turd pls….pleassseeeee?
are barkley and crew familiar with jjj.no mention of our rookie stud missing
At least Heat fighting… keep it close and maybe strike at the ending. Wishful thinking 😁
Agree. Surprised we had a chance to cut it to 5, but missed. Celtics going cold in second half so we’ll have a shot
They need to change that punitive rule. If the foul occurs nearly simultaneously with the shot, they should allow whichever is the most points. Shot missed, give the free throws. Shot made, count it.
Refs and their rules suck this season. Every year seems it gets bad
it’s the simplest way, how else would they judge continuation? Can the player take a step, make a move, pump fake?
It’s not that I disagree, I think more “power play” type judgement could flow in a game, I just think it’s too hard to standardize.
Funny thing is I thought we played reasonably well. We would have needed the Iron Dome weapons system to stop the Celtics.
hahahaha! Seriously, it was ridiculous. I officially put “el mal de ojo” on the Celtics for the 2nd half. Sub-zero they will go
Israel doesn’t want to share that tech. Sadly lol
Trash refs tonight with celtics shooting over 60 percent is a lethal combo
That 3 Boston made was par for the course that first half. Just making everything
jalen brown balling now in april diff story
Instead of 4, we got 1. And they get a 3.
Yup. Crap
dont like that rule stupid rule
Get the f out of here!!!!
foul way before shot
Make up call incoming
bost getting all the calls
Yup
porz is healthy now come april doubt it
Jimmy needs to shoot at least 20 times tonight.
HH has never played soccer. You never make a pass that far across the goal
ty was going up the ct to
That bad pass was not on Herro. Sheesh
he could have come to the pass and maybe gotten fouled by brown
Coulda woulda shoulda, it was a bad pass
BS call
Terrible call
tatum off either him or brown is off when they play us
