We almost fukked that up
Stevens will use that as a coach able moment to tear into the bench
In the long run this is probably a good thing
Tomorrow should be interesting
He still should of taken him when all the starters on the bench. That was just a fluke series of events.

I swear, ever since the new big 3 era with paul/kg/ray, i've seen this team blow so many 4th quarter big leads. This will give brad the ammunition to lay into the team to not be so lackadaisical.
I saw too many open Nets players throughout the game; these guys gotta stick to their defensive assignments. And Isaiah needs to stop trying so many damn cross-court passes.
If we cut back on the errant passes and play tighter defense, we won't have meltdowns like last night's.

It kind of reminded me of those teams where the starters built the lead and the game was over and they had to come back in...
Anyways, I'll be optimistic about them blowing that lead because it gives Stevens way more to tear into them about rather than just walking out with a blowout win. The bench players are probably embarrassed as fukk and will probably be balls to the wall tonight.
We should win tonight as well, but it'll probably be a good game

I'm unsure of the Bulls and something about them nikkas on TNT Thursday night at home they always seem to win whenever I bet on the games.
LET'S GO CELTICS!
Pretty sad that Hawks fans celebrate when Horford doesn't have a big game for us.
They're like scorned women crying about their ex.

Defense through the first two games has been extremely concerning. Far too many defensive lapses, far too many wide open 3's and we're getting killed for it.
Rebounding continues to be a major issue, but that was to be expected. Like I talked about a couple pages ago, Ainge should have gone after other bigs instead of bringing in the usual suspects outside of Horford. Zeller is soft as fukk, Olynyk is basically Zeller with long hair and a 3 point shot, and we know Stevens isn't playing Mickey.
Offensively I think we've done fine outside of the careless turnovers

Defense is concerning but we are also missing possibly the best defensive guard in the league
It's the size up front and getting killed on the boards that scare me right now
Kenneth Faried might be a good trade target. He's been popping up in trade rumors now and he lost his starting job. I'd imagine their price isn't going to be that high.
I think a scoring center might be a bigger need. Clearly getting someone like Cousins is the ideal but extremely unlikely. Maybe Brook Lopez.
I love Al and still watch his games. Like I said before, a lot of guys don't understand Al. Dwight made about 67 mistakes tonight and he's a hero right now on our board. But some fans just see raw stats and visual game. Like rebounding, dunks and blocks. But I look for execution, movement, high BBIQ, versatility, etc. I really don't think Stevens is using Al right or maybe Amir just isn't a good fit next to Al.
