It's the NBA ca. 2017 -- it's painful, period. They're not getting past Cleveland anyway.

Would not surprise me if Danny's idea. Totally against everything the Celtics stand for. As always, totally disagree with Michael Holley, and totally agree with Tom Heinsohn and Tom Curran.

To elaborate, it will only fire up the Wizards. It's a stupid thing to do in the first place - see NY Giants, '08. And, unlike when they played the Redskins only a month or so before, right after Sean (Model Citizen) Taylor's death, they did that upon arriving in Arizona before the Patriots' last game of a season which they dedicated to Marquise Hill, who saved a young woman's life before losing his own.

To top it all off, this within days of our own guy IT tragically losing his young sister.

Red's turned over in his grave. Like he has often under Danny.

Red Auerbach hand-picked Danny Ainge as his successor to run the Celtics. Thomas's sister died 4 weeks ago. You need to try harder.

Auerbach also (in 1989) drafted NBA bust Michael Smith at 13 ahead of Hardaway, and Dana Barros ahead of Kemp and Divac. Red had clearly lost his fastball by the end of it. he was wrong about Ainge.

Watching this team (and the refs) give away this game tonight was sickening. Washington did not deserve to win. And that lucky shot by Wall was ridiculous. He could take that a hundred more times and not make it 10. The guy is a moron. Thinks he's Steph Curry. LOL. Both these teams are painfully mediocre.

Yup. Officials got what they wanted. Played the bonus fouls perfectly in the 4th. Perfectly.

Was a rough ending to swallow. Refs suck, though.

LOL CELTICS CHOKE

 

[neuronet]

Hope for a g7 win

 

[Soul_Survivor88]

That was.... embarassing

If Cs lose Game 7, this game will come to haunt them

Celtics are the No. 1 seed and yet, can't close a series on the road????

That's some bullsh***

Dana Barros was not drafted by the Celtics. Maybe you meant to say that Smith was drafted ahead of Barros as well as the others.

Only fair. Ainge is already turning over in his grave thanks to Red's brilliant advice to draft Joe Forte instead of Tony Parker.

It will haunt them even if they win. They're going to get shellacked by Cleveland.

Wiz managed the clock well at the end of the game used their foul perfectly.

I'm a Nets fan and thus have no dog in this fight (or any other fight until about 2020, you're all welcome), especially since I live in DC but root for Boston in football and hockey, but this has been the best playoff series since last year's finals. Maybe even better. Both teams are likely to get walked over by the Cavs, but it's been a ton of fun to watch.

Agreed. Both teams are very flawed but the series has been intense and competitive. It certainly has been much more entertaining than the many 4-0 sweeps.

Hang in there until 2020. C's still don't have much to show from the Nets trade yet and the trade may look much less one-sided in hindsight after all the picks are in.

Who are the Celtics? A British soccer team

As great a game Bradley had last night he left some points on the floor a missed dunk and two missed and one's. That said if Bradley has finally arrived on a consistent basis Offensively we could win maybe Three against the Cavs. Gotta give IT some help.

Well that was the most painful sports loss I've witnessed since the 2015 AFCCG in Denver. Stung a little. The C's had it and gave it away. Would've been a big win and confidence builder.

Extra painful that it was IT who choked it away with the late turnover. They had a 5 point lead with possession with about 1:30 to go. Gotta have a good play up your sleeve, execute it and score. That would've done it.
