    Stop talking about the refs man, they called every possible thing they could've call for us overall, maybe even something more, it's on us.

    They put some size in the middle and changed the complexion of the game
    Double/harass James and leave your rim protector in the middle
    Chris Paul where ARE you?

    This is such a predictable loss. Celtics are gonna win this game. If we had Paul it'd be an easy blowout.

    He was busting his ass on the offensive glass so let’s give him a break

    This dude all of a sudden cannot make a open shot... He's bipolar. Once it matters he's the master of disappearance. Keeps driving and losing the ball hoping refs bail him out.

    I‘m not sure if im the jinx. For the clippers game i came home late. I tuned in we were up like 25 and lost.
    Then today again, fell asleep for almost the entire first half, came back when up 26 or so and basically since then we are losing. Not sure if i should continue watching tho

    Or his turnovers and lapses of forgetting how to play basketball and exhibiting very little effort.

    Harden always shuts down when he gets fouled n no call. He should try to pass it when he is double team.

    He tries to push it so refs call it what they missed but they never do most of the time. Today with only 2 refs is gonna be harder for him to get those calls even those obvious slaps to his arm

    Uh yea like the ENTIRE first half. He just goes into a black hole and plays at half speed making the worst possible decisions. He’s quite the enigma,

    Celtics were allowed to play hand check defense all quarter long.

    Rockets got put in penalty quickly.

    When ha
    Exactly...its always blaming ourselves, but boston putting baynes has turned the game and we had no adjustment. MDA has to be better in adjusting to adjustments and calling timeouts. If they put baynes just put ryno at the 5 and stretch him out. Just no ingame coaching from MDA
