    Or maybe we’d rather see Green get some burn rather than Johnson atm

    Even the worst NBA center could dunk that. How did damn Capela miss it?

    He's not asserting himself enough and making his presence known.

    2nd half:

    Have to cover the 3 point line. They have not been lucky on their 3s. They are better 3 point shooters than we are % wise. We gave them open 3s and they made them.

    Have to attack Kyrie when he is on. Make him play defense. He is not a good defender.

    Have to make sure to sit Joe Johnson. Celtics made their run when he was on the floor. They were attacking his slow ass on defense.

    Oh well! Can't wait to blow them out in the 4th quarter when Uncle Paul schools Uncle Drew with clutch midrange jumpers.

    First off, JJ cannot get another minute in this game. If he checks in, I'm turning off the f***ing TV.

    Also, the Celtics are not switching as much as other teams. Tonight would have been a good game to have Ryno for his spacing.

    The Celtics will start missing their 3s, but we need to get some more production from our second unit. CP3 hasn't been looking good the past 5 games.

    This.

    And our coach did not call any timeout during that period.

    I hope we can play tough defense 2nd half.

    Not only that he's making bonehead plays, committing blatant fouls and getting dumb techs.

    He needs to lead the team by example in a game like this.

    Chris Paul has to be aggressive in games like these and by aggressive I mean look to score himself.

    He cant play pass in these kind of games.

    it puts a lot of pressure on Harden to score.

    At least Green could make some 3s.

    Joe contributed nothing so far.

    MIssed dunk, missed layup by Capela b2b plays.... pathetic.

    Rockets can still win by 10+, but very disappointing so far.

    Green isn't going to play unless there's multiple injuries to wing players so I'm not going to even trip about it at this point. I think it's MDA being stubborn and trusting one of his old players Johnson more but it is what it is.

    Right that's what he was brought here for, to take pressure off Harden.

    gordon was playing well and then got benched the rest of the half

    JJ played like crap, as expected against a team loaded with wings. green should have gotten those minutes -- he lit his old team up the previous game in boston

    when they pack the paint james needs to just pull up for the 2 instead of forcing passes in traffic
