Maybe they should've traded for Butler.Comment -
their best player being 5 foot 7 ended them.
Should have made a move for jimmy butler or paul george earlier in the year.Comment -
A rebounder would of helped immenselyComment -
They paid Al Horford $115 million to give them no revounding.Originally posted by BostongamblerComment -
could have had boogie cousins and they didnt want him.Originally posted by Bostongambler
just dumb
if they wanted to just keep their picks and build for the future, why even sign horford.Comment -
Horford was such a waste of money. He isn't even that good.Comment -
No
Bulls are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better
Just watch the gamesComment -
Celts can't ride a midget to the Promised Land in the NBA.Comment -
His game is limitedOriginally posted by 19th Hole
I think better 6th man player, he cannot defend either
Just a wild ball hog and it shows in playoffsComment -
Bulls played a shitty game in game 1 and still won. That told you pretty much all you needed to know. Celtics are not built for playoff ball. They thought Al Horford was the player to put them over the hump
This may be good for them long term though. Starting to expect to see Paul George in a Celtics uniform next year.Comment -
Yup, I agree. Screw patience Ainge. Have to have someone on the roster who can out play and rebound Brooke F`n Lopez.Originally posted by SetoBulls played a shitty game in game 1 and still won.

Just compare the starting five, Bulls might just sweep Boston. Bulls are locked in on D, Celts look lost on D. Not enough firepower to hang with Butler Wade & RondoComment -
Boston's style of play doesn't help them in a playoff situation. Run down the court in 3-5 seconds and hoist up a 3..no rebounding ...no 2nd attempts. . Horrible job by Stephens by not trying to get more shots at the rim int transition. Why not guard Lopez as he made 6 easy 15 foot shots with no defense at all. Lopez dominated the glass and Boston has no answer for him.. The match ups are horrible for Boston and unless they figure how to man up on defense and rebound with Chicago this will be over.Comment -
They aren't that good of a team, they were exposed in the last month of the season by Milwaukee & Cleveland @ home in meaningful games. All of those high draft picks for basically role players, Danny Ainge may have to go into rebuilding mode next year.Comment -
Definitely not Thomas' fault, doing what he can, he's a stud. They dont rebound, rest of guards small, a 3 that can score would be nice, all the bigs want to shoot 3's even Horford. Somebody has to rebound the ball. Have to get some easy buckets. And what Ironman said, their style last two games didnt seem to fair well, not many plays or sets maybe that was because they were behind all game who knows, but Bulls look like a well oiled machine to them. Thomas playing with heavy heart and still doing well, can tell rest of team lean on him, last two games theyve played like theyve had a loss in the family.Comment -
the losses have just about nothing to do with Thomas, he is
playing well, and his stats are in-line.
the reason they are down is that their regular season success
was inflated due to the nature of the NBA season.
Look at the Bulls roster, stacked with talented veterans,
Celtics are a low-level overperformer that struggles to match
real talent when it counts.
just more evidence the NBA regular season is nothing but a long pre-season.Comment -
The Cavs game was the litmus test for the Celtics. They were outclassed in that one. They knew then that their ceiling was limited. Now anybody that plays them knows that they are limited tooComment -
It is why insane to sign Thomas to big deal

Disappointing thing about the Celtics is they supposedly have some of the best perimeter defenders in the league (Crowder/ Bradley/ Smart) but they're getting torched. Bradley & Smart too small to guard Butler or even Wade. Crowder has had a rough series -looked forlorn in game 2.Comment -

boston homers need to go away, everyone on chicago was right unless they said chicago would still win after rondo injuryComment -
Rondo injury mightve ended the bullsComment -
Thomas with 51 points tonight. Dude is a like a Michael Jordan mini-me.Comment -
Easy Celts winComment -
He is playing on another levelComment -
The Wiz must feel real deflated after blowing 2 straight games. Let's see if they have the fortitude to bring it at home. This is a back breaker IMO. Thomas was insane tonight. I'm really proud how he's handled the adversity.Comment -
Good for Thomas
Seems even better under the pressure of everything that has happened
It is why they are prosComment -
Guy was on fireComment -
amazing run, should not even be in this series if not for rondo injury, and somehow they pull the first 2 games out of their assesComment -
unbelievable how hes going through what he is and performing at the top of his gameComment -
