Comments From The Other Side - vs Blazers, Bubble Game 2

http://celticsgreen.blogspot.com/2020/08/comments-from-other-side-trail-blazers.html



MY NOTE: My favorites are in bold. Which are yours?



Simons about to drop 20 on Wannamaybe today.

Lets extend our 144 day win streak!

Will be interesting to see if Melo can keep up with their younger forwards.

Nurk should be able to bully some fools today

Hopefully we can get some moderately legitimate officiating for this one. Not holding my breath though...

Tatum scares me. Gonna look to get back up after his bad game vs the Bucks. And who guards him? Collins probably

Theis & Kanter vs Nurkic & Whiteside. Should be fun down low!

Boston doesn't have many big dudes. I think Tatum and Theis are the tallest players on the roster at 6-8.

THEY'RE A BUNCHA SHRIMPS

Wonder if Boston might be ok with losing this one to dodge 76rs in the playoffs.

they have to win SOME games or they're the ones who will end up in 6th

Jaylen Brown: v cool      Gordon Hayward: v not cool

Refs better not give them 50 fts.

Let's hope that Tatum plays like absolute dogsh** again

It’s pretty rare for Jayson Tatum to have two poor shooting games in a row. Look for him to bounce back.

The Celtics just lost to the Bucks. Then after the Blazers they play the Heat who they are in a race with for the 3rd seed. After that they play the Magic who are also in a fight for 7th or 8th seed. Every game is important. The question for the Celtics is who do they really want play. The Pacers or the 76ers? If it was me i would be playing tough to hold onto the 3rd seed so i could draw the Pacers.

But the Pacers might be 5 seed and they could draw the Sixers. Hard for Celtics to control their first round opponent with the 6th seed still up in the air.

Gonna have to find a way to contain Tatum somewhat.

smart and nurk will definitely get into it a bit

Let’s goooooo!!!! Nurk smash tiny Boston men!

Can anyone stop him? Edit: ah, refs.

Straight up who do you think is gonna win tonight?

Hypertension

Just me or the crowd audio higher then normal?

Why is the fake crowd noise so loud

It’s super loud. Maybe to drown out players yelling so they don’t swear on TV and get called for mad techs? Very annoying tho I can barely hear the commentary

every whistle makes me angry now even legitimate ones.

they’re talking about paul pierce like he died

Stop talking about Paul Pierce rn

Damn Kemba don't be shooting like that today please

At least he’s on minute restriction

Thank God kemba can only play 17-23 mins today

Right now things are too easy for Boston

Too many made Celtic threes for my liking so far

If UCONN Kemba Walker makes an appearance we are in big trouble

we need to stop giving up open threes. celtics will not miss

Thanks Kanter! Love that dude.

Nurkic scoring on kanter so easy is so satisfying

Kanter playing poacher as usual

Celtics getting whatever they want from the pick and roll so far.

Boston is just the better overall team. Better athletes at most positions, positional versatility, players nearly as good as Dame, solid bigs and role players

they can’t keep making these 3s all game....right?

The Celtics are honestly just a matchup nightmare, too many wings

Defense needs to step up. Letting Boston hit 75 percent from the field is never going to end well

Everyone who watched the playoff last year know how to abuse kanters defence. let's just pick and roll nurk+dame all day

Celtics shooting 70 plus percent. If Hayward and his stupid mustache makes another 3 Im going to lose it!

I don't think I'm overreacting when I say Gary Trent and Nurk are the modern day Kobe and Shaq duo (MY NOTE: Is it still called "overreacting" if you're completely delusional?)

Tatum is gonna kill today. He had a bad game last game no way 2 straight bad games

Kanter can’t compete against Zack or Nurk

I need more beer

I was really hoping for the 2-18 Tatum.

wow they actually called a foul on boston

Just remember, we can’t keep shooting this poorly and they can’t keep shooting this well

7 for 12 on three??? Gotta think they will start missing some.

Hezonia is literally helping Boston offensive rebound. smh

Boston basically making a statement “you guys don’t belong in this bubble”. We need to fire back right now, or it’s over.

Wow Tatum is sick

Kanter showing why we loved him so much in Portland.

Any chance we can get kanter back and let whiteside walk?

Box out Kanter jeez

Rather have kanter than whiteside

They're going to double our points soon...

One thing I think you gotta credit BOS with is that they have a lot of long arms on the floor. I’m seeing a lot of possessions where balls are getting poked loose and there’s a Celtic around to recover it.

Counting only Tatum's points we would have only a 12pt lead lol

What in the hell explanation is there for this type of shooting? Our d isn’t particular bad they should miss more than this shooting unguarded.

Tatum is a beast

Tatum is killing us

Damn Tatum is a franchise changer

Boston is really good.

No reason to be giving up all these offensive boards to a smaller team

It's Enes Kanter that's what he does It was fun when he was on our team

the celtics offense runs so easily with their spacing, passing, and screening.

Tatum couldn't buy open jumpers last game and hits everything today

Part of this is Celtics cannot miss if they tried

Kanter getting his revenge on us

Let’s get someone out there to check our rim maybe it’s crooked from nurks dunk earlier

Bro can they stop cutting away to jaysons kid every 10 seconds. No one cares

Are they just going to keep showing Paul pierce the whole time?

Damn, this is a legit team we are playing

Hey look, we score 4 straight points and Stevens immediately calls a TO. Stotts would have let the run go for at least 6-8 more points before considering calling a TO.

Jayson "playing 2k on rookie with the sliders up" Tatum

Can we give Whiteside to Boston for Kanter. They can keep the change

Stotts is getting COOKED by Brad Stevens

Brad Stevens cooks everyone

Smart doing a great job against Dame.

Tatum definitely getting a 50 piece tonight.

tatum took all of lillards powers

We literally have NO ONE to guard Jayson Tatum.

Whoever we put against Tatum or Brown is just going to get torched. Either too slow, not tall enough, or both

Of course Kanter playing the game of His Life

Boston has twice as many threes and 4x the free throw attempts

Can't blame the refs for this shit though, just sloppy defense and no aggression on offense

Melos finally off the floor, we might actually be able to play some defense now... Oh wait it's just halftime.

I refuse to believe Boston can stay that hot...right?

Our perimeter D got Tatum looking like Steph....he bout to drop a 50 burger on us

Kanter's playing a revenge game since this is his first game against the guy he was brought in to (temporarily) replace. I will always be grateful to Kanter for putting his body through hell to drag us through playoffs. But he can stop now.

If Tatum dies right now we can win this game. Cheer up!

Skinny Melo plays defense like Fat Antoine Walker.

We can’t stop their wings, Tatum can score at will against our squad.

Can someone pass a law making it illegal for the Celtics to be a team

I don't think I'll ever think of Kemba as a Celtic

that was a nasty Tatum 3 What is Jason Tatum? A Monstar?

He became a different player without hair

i know tatum is good but he isn’t THIS GOOD cmon wtf are these shots

He was making shots like that consistently after the all star break.

Gordon H. looking like a 1800’s pedophile

Celtics going 455-460 from 3 range

Smart just walks around the court looking for a chance to fall down

FOUL OUT HAYWARD PLS

law of averages shooting % catching up with the Celtic 3's

Bogus foul calls. NBA wants Tatum to be the next great superstar so bad

the NBA wants Boston and LA to be good, no matter the cost

Kemba is at 22 minutes and pregame they said his max was 23. It'd be great to not see him this quarter

Hassan trying to get his revenge on the heat one stupid play at a time by helping the Celtics keep the 3rd seed

Blazer fans in the second quarter “BLOW THE TEAM UP.” Blazer fans in the 4th: “DAME IS MY POINT GUARD!”

Boston looks absolutely lost on offense now love it

WE JUST SPOOKED THE CELTICS they just completely fell apart

Keep the misses coming Boston

Paul pierce having a stroke? Lolololol he should join this thread

I don't know anything about Theis but my brain is treating him like Birdman

Wanamaker is getting abused fam

All we need is our guys to get treated better by the refs. We never get the benefit of the doubt

Great acting by Hayward!!

Wow Jaylen Brown is the real deal

Brown is a problem

man come on we need some baskets here especially since we cant defend jaylen brown to save our lives

Brown has been absolute murder all game.

How is no one guarding Brown?

Brown looking like hardens b**ch a** brother

Tatum just gonna keep falling cause they're calling it a foul every time.

I love you Kanter, but we gotta abuse his poor PnR defense

Need someone to stop Tatum

Tatum just gonna keep going because they're calling it a foul every single time

smart is such a cockroach

F***ing jaylen brown who tf is this guy

brown is their best player

I have never seen Brown miss a 3 in my life. Not even joking.

These refs are pathetic. I'm gonna be so happy when this Celtics core never win a championship

brad stevens looks like he runs 47 fantasy teams

Refs finally messed up in our favor

Ya that’s not a backcourt violation

I agree. But I will also take it

Gordon Hayward looks like a nice young man. Who just finished up his tour of duty which included fighting at Gettysburg

Refs did us a solid, finally after 8 quarters of bball

Tatums lamb chops give him the real L

What a retarded way to end the game. Back to back dumb plays by our two best players

Jaylen brown and Tatum are unstoppable

Refs hate us. At least we showed heart. Gotta like that.

Hmm, I don’t know about that. We benefited from a few puzzling calls in the final minutes.

Dude I hate the refs as much as the next guy but those last couple of calls against Boston were pretty terrible.

F*** the Celtics these bums are never ever gonna get past the bucks or raptors anyway

Boston has a more talented team than Portland, only Blazer fans would think otherwise. Boston's roster is way more vertsitile and allows Stevens a ton of flexibility. Stevens is a fantastic coach too.

So, then Boston should have won by a lot more right? I agree that Stevens is a great coach Much better than Stotts. I think that's the biggest difference.

They look so good because of Stevens. With Stotts they would look like sh**

I'd take Stevens over Stotts any day

That's easy: become a Celtics fan. Upside: you get to feel happy today.

Is there anyway we can get our hands on Jaylen Brown?

He's is quite literally the best fit we can ever imagine as our SFotF. I know he signed a massive 4yr, 115 million contract at the start of this season, but they're gonna max Tatum and already have Kemba and Hayward on their books. They'd obviously choose Brown over Hayward, but one can dream.
