Unfortunately I don’t see any way Amen isn’t suspended for this…that’ll make it harder for us to win but I still believe we can pull off a nice lil streak!
It is not the streak but the Celtics are actually on a losing streak......just for the information...FWIW. Might also be a bad thing, then they are extra motivated to win.
We lost because once again the Rockets offense disappeared down the stretch. Jalen Green who seemed to be unstoppable in the 3rd quarter started shooting 3s and you can imagine where that went. Then Herro was being a biyotch to Amen and he threw his punk ass to the ground. This was after FVV got called for a 5 second violation and then got ejected by one of the worst refs in Marc Davis. But other than that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?
Glad someone else sees this. Sengun clogs up the driving lanes Jalen needs to get to the rim. This is a problem for a guard that plays downhill
I think we have a pretty good picture of the team at this point and so does the NBA. If you can't shoot, just pack the paint and force us into a mid range game. I hope we think long and hard about the trading deadline and making some moves. Cam Johnson is available and he is a good shooter. Sacramento is a situation we should monitor should Fox become available. Bojan is another possible target. I am glad we are ahead of schedule, but that should be no excuse to stay the course.
https://official.nba.com/pool-repor...th-quarter-of-tonights-miami-at-houston-game/ QUESTION: What led to the ejections of Fred VanVleet and Ime Udoka? DAVIS: After the correctly assessed five-second violation, Fred VanVleet asked me why he was not granted a timeout. I communicated to him that the five-second count was reached prior to him requesting the timeout. He walks away. Coach Udoka then asks for an explanation. I give it to him and then Fred VanVleet re-engages and intentionally contacts me and is ejected as per rule. QUESTION: And the ejection of Ime Udoka? DAVIS: At the conclusion of the altercation, Coach Udoka is ejected as per rule for his unsportsmanlike comments directed towards me. QUESTION: What led to the ejections of Amen Thompson, Tyler Herro, Jalen Green, Terry Rozier and assistant coach Ben Sullivan? DAVIS: During the dead ball, Thompsons grabs the jersey and body slams Herro. Herro responds and they are both ejected for fighting fouls. Green is ejected as his actions escalated the altercation. Rozier as well is ejected as his actions were escalators to the altercation. Coach Sullivan is assessed a technical foul and ejected for his unsportsmanlike comments directed at me as I was attempting to redirect [Alperen] Sengun. QUESTION: Was there any belief that either of Jalen Green or Terry Rozier attempted to de-escalate the situation — prior to their ejections? DAVIS: No.
I don't remember many possessions Herro even scored on Amen, he got screens because if Herro was matched up with Amen for the entire game he'd have less than 15 points. I mean people can pull up the highlights and see he didn't get those points off of Amen. If he's so brave call off the screens and take Amen one on one and see how well you score.
