they really tried to choke that game away

pathetic

Celtics are a team that won't give up. They should have prepared for that.

34 point 4th Q...off night for Kawhi and D in general..Manu saved their asses from complete chokejob..

Brad Stevens is doing the most with the least for sure

[cjw]

Stevens got friggen Butler to two national title games. This guy will be the best coach in the league (could argue Spo) once Pop and Carlisle hang it up.

Some of you are funny. So spoiled for so long. Beat a team who was first in their division at 11-8 and it's a bad loss? SA isn't holding teams to 70 every game b/c that doesn't happen.

lol no

I think similar to 2014 this team is hungry for the playoffs and we won't see them play the full 48 for a while.

[Russo21]

Where was LMA in the 4th? I don't recall seeing him on the court

[itzsoweezee]

Well, that small ball lineup did not work too well. Would've liked to see it with Danny instead of Parker, and maybe Aldridge instead of Duncan.

oh look, OP making a whining thread

This must be rascal

Because you're alive. Kill yourself.

[SupremeGuy]

I was pleasantly surprised when we won. We usually lose these close games at the beginning of the year.

Pop played with a very suspect defensive group in the 4th. It is my belief he was again assessing players and groupings by letting us free fall with certain lineups in the 4th. We got beat on uncontested jump shots very frequently last night that eventually led to layups by Thomas. Trouble with the high PnR.
