You can't have Refs messing up two calls late in games that bad come playoffs. Two games in a row!

The difference between good teams and great ones is the ability to crush an opponent and not let them back in a game.

The difference between good teams and great ones is the ability to crush an opponent and not let them back in a game. Tonight wasn't really an example of that. The Blazers were hitting everything in the second half, sometimes basketball goes that way. It wasn't the Celtics playing poorly, it was the Blazers playing lights out. I thought the Cs did really well to hang on and win, should have been over sooner if it wasn't for the stupid refs. How can you miss that call? |

These are like preseason games for us. Walker is on minute restrictions and getting guys playing time and getting them ready for the playoffs is what's important.
Nevermind like Don said that team just started making crazy hard shots. Lillard just went off.
No offense to WCP yet if he had his way the team would never have timeouts left at the end of games.

I don’t think we are at the point of risers and fallers yet as teams haven’t worked guys out.
My new binky is Tyrell Terry.

Not really - I’d just prefer to see Brad use them when the other team is on an 8-0 run instead of an 18-2 run. |

Jaren Jackson done for the year... sad he tore his meniscus but it helps the Celtics draft position possibly so it’s relevant

Does this team plan on playing defense again this season?

You cannot give up the amount of big runs this team gives up and expect to make a deep run in the playoffs.

Also, NBA refs are making a run at umpires as the worst officials in sports. They are pathetic at what they do and even worse human beings.

Pathetic loss. No other way to put it.

I don’t think we are at the point of risers and fallers yet as teams haven’t worked guys out. My new binky is Tyrell Terry. Do what you want with the information, yet for me it was rather shocking to see a guy in the 20s after a bunch of mocks didn't even have him getting drafted. We are actually getting information from NBA sources again after nothing for three plus months. My binky of the day is Maxey, I love how he's bulked up for a young guard. So many super skinny guys in this draft. He's like a shorter Evans. |

It’s entirely possible Memphis falls out of the top 9 and doesn’t even get a playoff play in... that’d be great...

Jaylen Brown has looked unbelievable since the return, Hayward has looked much better as well. Kemba getting healthy, Tatum is still a superstar level talent. They still seem a bit volatile, but if they gel then a deep run is very likely.

I can see a scenario where this team loses in the first round to the Pacers or Sixers and one where they make the finals. Both seem some what equally probable to me. |

Langford and Robby need to get longer looks - I’d like to see Langford to take away Wannamakers minutes.... with Kemba, Smart and Hayward there’s really not much of a need for Brad

I did not expect him to be so good on D at 20 years old. I think he will be a stud in 3 years and teams will look back at that draft and shake their heads. Romeo would be getting buckets for a tanking team right now. I admit I didn't like the pick at the time but I've really changed my tune now. |

I’m watching Time Lord. I’m speechless. He looks like an NBA player.
All I can surmise is that bubble life has been good for young Robert.

Biggest win of the season for the INSANE defense they put up all night. Yeah Toronto was off, but the effort hasn't always been there for the Cs on defense and tonight it WAS. Tatum, Brown, Smart and Theis is such a strong defensive core.

Not sure why you don't want Wannamaker to play, the guys solid. Robert Williams looks very good. He needs ten minutes a night!
