GT: Wizards visiting Celtics, 7th of December

[kNIOKAS]

It's on. Celtics playing well.
Seraphin just had a neat crossover and a quick layup to blow by Celtics, Turner responded with a pull up jumper to finish the quarter. Celtics up by 9

[DamnMixes]

2nd half is where the celtics will collapse, as usual.

[tontoz]

Wizards look like they are still asleep. Worst 1st quarter i have seen in awhile.

[WallIn]

Wiz are colder than liquid nitrogen.

[DamnMixes]

why are they still playing with these ugly ass baseball t-shirts? Those green stripes look like they are playing with backpacks and shit

[WallIn]

Truth to be told, we would be down 25 at the moment if we faced some powerhouse from the West. Just atroucious play.

[MMM]

The Celtics look so much better vs. The East. The first few weeks of the season was tough with all the WC teams, LA being the only exception.

yep. we've had the 6th most difficult schedule from all teams in the nba. 2nd most difficult in the east

[Richesly]

If Wizards lose and Hawks win today, 2nd place is tied!

[Derka]

What angle could you possibly have had that might have made that even close to a clear path foul? :facepalm

[WallIn]

30% from the field. Oh boy...

[Derka]

30% from the field. Oh boy...
That's not gonna last. The Wizards will start making shots.

[ballup]

2nd half, I smell a collapse

[WallIn]

That's not gonna last. The Wizards will start making shots.

Or C's will blow the lead open and we will have 12 minutes of quality garbage time :oldlol:

[Derka]

Or C's will blow the lead open and we will have 12 minutes of quality garbage time :oldlol:

We C's fans do like our Gino Time...

[navy]

Rondo has been palming his entire career. Why call that one lol

[DamnMixes]

celtics with 18, you tell me, that's the team that can lose that lead in no time

[WallIn]

Come on!

[salwan]

chokers gonna choke :facepalm

[Fudge]

Celtics are a bunch of chokers.

[DamnMixes]

this is pathetic to the highest level

[MMM]

Celtics are a bunch of chokers.

The Celtics aren't doing anything wrong, not much you can do once a team gets on fire from 3

[Derka]

lol, didn't see this coming a mile away or anything :lol

[brownmamba00]

man I can watch Rondo play all day

[WallIn]

:facepalm

Chokers right?

Making threes with hand in the face.

[DamnMixes]

a pretty crazy sequence though

[MMM]

The 3 point era we are in nowadays lends itself to leads being far less safer.

[navy]

:facepalm

Chokers right?

Making threes with hand in the face.
If you consistently blow leads when up BIG you are chokers. :confusedshrug:

[Fudge]

Tommy Heinsohn is the definition of scum. How is this piece of shit still a commentator?

[Derka]

There must be a checklist the Celtics go through: Things We Can Do Wrong When We Have a Big Lead to Blow It. Then they just go through them one at a time until they do as many as possible.

[ArbitraryWater]

Wiz comeback

[Fudge]

Celtic fans, be honest. Do you guys even like Heinsohn?

He is the sole reason why I can't stand Celtic broadcasts.

[WallIn]

Oh shit, Butler missed an easy one.

[LEFT4DEAD]

Damn, I turned it off when it was +20 or smt for the Celtics. Now turned it on and its one possession game. :lol

[WallIn]

Wall and Rondo going at it

15/8/14 vs 13/13/11

[Derka]

Celtic fans, be honest. Do you guys even like Heinsohn?

He is the sole reason why I can't stand Celtic broadcasts.

His shtick wore thin on me ages ago. What really kills me is that his crap drags down Mike Gorman, who is outstanding at his job and a true pro.

I'm completely ready for Scal or Max to take that seat permanently.

[MMM]

Beal, Butler, and Wall sparked the comeback

Beal in the 3rd
Butler to start the 4th
And Wall coming up in the 4th as well

[ballup]

Celtic fans, be honest. Do you guys even like Heinsohn?

He is the sole reason why I can't stand Celtic broadcasts.
Yes. He is ridiculous at times, but he points out a lot of smaller things that make a difference.

[Fudge]

Scal would be perfect for the job. :oldlol:

[rknine15]

2 ****in layups blown :facepalm

[Derka]

Nice f*cking D!

[Proctor]

Agreed. Mike Gorman is great.

[Fudge]

That was a clean block. Can they even overturn that tho?

[WallIn]

How is that a goaltend?

lol

[Derka]

Nah, legit block. Lets get this thing moving.

[WallIn]

come on it should be a Wiz ball, Pierce got it after the block :facepalm

[Derka]

Why the f*ck did Rondo and Zeller switch on that?! Plenty of room.

[Derka]

I get so sick of seeing these 3s, but I do like when they go in.

[ballup]

come on it should be a Wiz ball, Pierce got it after the block :facepalm
Everyone stopped at the whistle

[rknine15]

that ****in hump

[WallIn]

oh ffs

Pierce got all the time in the world...

[brownmamba00]

beal is playing horrible

[ArbitraryWater]

Truth showing his love for Boston :applause:

Ballsy shot by Bradley.. especially after he just missed it, then taking an even tougher one.

[Derka]

Overlooked in that sequence will be Brandon Bass taking that baseline completely away from Wall. Excellent play.

[ballup]

Rondo the cookie theif :bowdown:

[rknine15]

beal, lack of energy in the first half and thoes blown layups lost the game

[WallIn]

Blown game by the Wizards. They did not accept a gift. Simple.

2 blown layups, unguarded Pierce missing a three etc.

[rknine15]

gg lets do it again tomorrow boston

[Legends66NBA7]

Don't know why Beal played the 4th. He just played poorly overall.

[DamnMixes]

celtics got luck, this was wizards game, the way they played the 4th quarter is pathetic, easy opportunites one after another one

[ballup]

I think someone is sour

[BlackWhiteGreen]

Not sure the Wizards ever had the lead?

Say what you will about the Cs, they don't play boring games...

[WallIn]

Say what you will about the Cs, they don't play boring games...

Nope

Closest they got to was 93:94...

And Beal+Pierce bricked back to back threes to take the lead :lol

[Uncle Drew]

Beal ****ing me over in Fantasy, he's a damn -6.

[DamnMixes]

I think someone is sour

I was rooting for the celtics, I hate their 4th quarter performances, they always blow up the leads

[Lebron23]

Good win by the Celtics.

[Real Men Wear Green]

Jeff Green is averaging 19 points. Do the Celtics see if he's finally becoming a go-to guy and try for the bottom of the EC playoffs or does Ainge see if they can nab a first from a team that wants another scorer?

You'd expect the latter, as its Ainge. Whether that team is out there, though... That'll shake out later in the year, as it is the only team I can really see with a need would be Charlotte. And you'd have to think trading your top scorer might affect Rondo's decision in the summer.

[TonyD]

Missed the game, did Pierce get a standing ovation?

I'm not sure Ainge really plans on keeping Rondo. I know that's what they're saying but if you are really banking on Rondo you trade the pick that was used on Smart or draft someone else. Rondo and Smart can't both be the future.

I think he's waiting to see what offers roll in by the deadline. I'd be really surprised if both Green & Rondo are still Celtics by season's end honestly. Once a sufficient asset(s) has been offered, he'll deal them.

Agreed. I think Ainge can see the proliferation of PGs in the league right now and sees it as an inefficiency to pay Rondo the max.

Still, I have no problem with the Cs running with Bradley, Smart and Rondo as the 3 guards.

[salwan]

I have no idea. the problem with the former is that green is probably going to opt out and command a not very pretty salary. the problem with the latter is that there are not that many good wing players we could plug the hole he leaves with.

[SwishSquared]

Green shouldn't be counted on to be more than a 3rd option on a contender imo. His inconsistencies preclude him from being a #2, let alone a #1. He's a nice player and could help out a number of squads.

I haven't gotten a chance to watch much of the Cs this year, but am I the only who think Green would play best as a small-ball 4 on a team that allows him to maximize his athleticism? The same way that GSW are playing 4 out-1 in and it's allowing Barnes & D. Green to have more room to operate.

That's not going to work against guys like Aldridge or ZBo who would eat them alive.

[hawksdogsbraves]

I think Green to the Rockets makes a lot of sense, try to get back one of Jones or Motiejunas and a pick maybe?

Also good work C's, the Hawks move into a tie for 2nd in the East with the Wiz loss :cheers:

You can always go big- I'm saying I think Jeff Green should get more of his minutes in a small ball line-up. He hasn't gotten a chance to do that next to a legit rim protector in a while.

EDIT:

I think they'd be interested, especially now that T. Jones may be awhile longer. DoMo has been a beast lately though, so HOU may wanna hold onto him.

What about Capella + 2 second rounders for Green? Capella will either really stink or be useful for rim protection. Wondering if they'd be enough for Ainge to bite since Green could walk anyway.
