Game-On! Trail Blazers @ Celtics - March 02, 2016

Smart is fueling us. His physicalness is making things happen.

What was that shot by IT??

Thomas' defense is particularly terrible tonight.

Sully got hops!

Everywhere. He changed this game. 8 rebounds and 2 steals in a half.

McCollum with 17 points on 5-7. What a half by CJ McCollum!

Lillard with 12 on 5-10. Over half the Blazers' points from their back court.


Thomas with 19 points. Take that, Dame!

they gave Sully continuation on that? For once the refs are on our side.

"the only time Dame gets to breathe is when Bradley falls down". They said that after Lillard hit the 3 when Avery fell

this is their 4 game in 5 nights. Let's keep running on them, they should wear down in the 4th.

PRESSURE!! NON-STOP PRESSURE!!

Bradley's non-stop defense on Lillard is unbelievable. Total denial.

friendly refs? who knew they existed?

BLillard seems like the type of player who will get frustrated with someone defending him like that

Who wouldn't? Bradley has been a blanket full court since the half has started.

Evening gents, and Rosalie! I'm tuning in a bit late but hope the Cs blow them out so the local kid Connaughton gets off the bench late in the game for Portland. I went to high school with his mom and dad and I'm sure the Garden is filled with his family and friends.

His Dad was a good player but couldn't dunk, his kid can jump through the roof!

Tommy even said that they are driving the Portland backcourt crazy

that's Sully's second Tommy point

Bob, where did the kid go to school?

they said "if we can stop them from scoring inside and force them from outside we have a chance because they are not a good outside shooting team".

Then Jae goes inside and gets fouled.

Bradley has shut Lillard down this quarter. I mean completely, totally shut him down. Locked down.

SO impressive.
