Short-handed Celtics fight-but-fall to Warriors, 111-107

By


      Covid, short bench, short roster, what is a team to do?

      1st Quarter 
     
     First quarter thoughts, on a night where a majority of your roster is out what is the plan? Well overall this Celtics team came out and gave some decent effort to start. As a group they started off slow yet kept the first pretty competitive. Though they did not have the lead they played pretty well. 

     Steph Curry is a man among boys. With that said, the Celtics offensive sets are terrible, They all hang out by the three point line. GO TO The HOOP! What has this game become? It's not the beautiful game that Larry showed us it could be. 

     2nd Quarter 

     They had moments of quality play during the second, yet it did not lead to being ahead on the score board. Ball movement was decent but shots didn't fall. Defensively they had some decent effort yet just couldn't stop the Warriors from doing what they wanted to. 

     Celtics fans need to realize that JB and JT are the future. How the team builds around them needs to be addressed. We have some decent pieces, but we need upgrades. If anyone contemplates trading one of them, just don't, because they will and are special.

     3rd Quarter 

     If anything could define a team it would have been this third quarter. We saw maximum effort on both ends of the floor. Despite the constant uphill climb and lack of players this team came together to show they can play against anyone! So much so they made the best team in the league sweat. 

     This third was like watching Rocky Balboa 

     4th Quarter 

     In a quarter that finally saw them capture a lead it ultimately was not enough. They fought like a heavy weight fighter who didn't want to give up. It just was not enough for the victory.

In defense of Marcus Smart

By
 Let me make it clear first of all that I am totally against making a threat of any kind that even hints at harming, or certainly killing, another human being. Marcus Smart was wrong in doing so in the Celtics loss to the tanking Oklahoma City Thunder , and he deserved the one-game suspension. But to be honest, part of me loved that it occurred. . This type of thing can happen when a player gets to a point "beyond frustration" and is having a bad game. Marcus and his teammates have been under-performing generally - were in the process of losing to a pathetic-and-tanking Thunder team - and Smart was having a bad game . And he let loose verbally at the closest target - an NBA official. Wilt Chamberlain did a similar act versus referee, Earl Strom when Wilt was having his usual tortuous time at the free throw line (per Chicago Tribune's Sam Smith): ''He was in one of those 1-for-13s,'' recalls referee Earl Strom. ''Nothing was getting close. S...
