yay? I mean, we got a shot right? We could find our swagger right? Dame could be back in form and lead us to the W right? I hope so….

For all the complaints about this team one thing you can’t say is that they don’t keep it interesting….


Space Jam claimed LeFlop. Now it’s coming back to haunt Dame.   Those Monstars will get you everytime. Haha.

We're gonna get smoked in this one   They’re full of mid size players that can take advantage of our big and slow guys (Enes/Melo/Nurk to a degree) as well as our smalls (Dame and CJ).

This would be a game that Terry needs to play Nas and DJJ heavy minutes for if he wants to win. Less Kanter and Melo otherwise we don’t have a chance.

On the other hand, if it gets Stotts out quicker...

Prediction.  Tatum goes off for at least 40. This probably won’t be pretty as the Celts are just starting to figure things out.

Celtics have probably been the only potential playoff team less consistent that us.

What to look for should include the return of fast PP    This will be his first time trickling back to Oregon for an NBA game.

We're gonna win this game btw... Forgot I was in a game preview.    This is in the bag, count it. Team needs a win, and we’re gonna get it tonight.

Blazers lose by 15, 20, or 30?    That’s the only question

C'MON DAME, BE YOURSELF AGAIN WE LOVE YOU    We CAN’T lose to the Celtics, this is not allowed.

I wanna see the Tacko Fall/Enes Kanter rebounding matchup

I also want to say that Tacko is the most normally proportioned and athletic looking 7’5" dude I’ve ever seen   Was funny watching him play Embiid the other week. Made Embiid look 6’8"

The Celtics draft a lot of those players where I think "I don't know if he'll be good, but he'd be fun to have as a Blazer"    Tacko is one of them. Fast PP is another.

Well, since the Celtics aren't top 5 in the east we have a chance to win or stay close in the game.

I wonder if Coach Stevens will trap Dame....

Never! He's a terrible coach!  (MY NOTE:  Brad trapped Dame after Smart's intentional frito miss on the last play)


The Blazers D was like using a colander to catch water. They Gotta Wake Up.

I can't imagine this game will turn out well.

i want blazers to lose, so the pressure on terry stotts grows bigger and bigger, day by day, game by game    every win just extends the agony, thats just the way it is

Blow out loss step closer to stotts getting fired

It's gonna be a long night for our wings.

I hate three games in 4 nights but it is what it is. Celtics are hot rn so Nurk and Kanter have to be dominant and punish their matchups.

I'd like to see Nas defend Jalen Brown and/or Jason Taytum at times   Just to see how his D measures up at this point against elite athletic wings.

You're gonna get Melo and Kanter defending the J's and YOU'RE GONNA LIKE IT

I hope we win!   It'd be a bummer if Stevens had film from the last 6 games or so on how to beat us!

Ah. Playing a team who are actually underachieving this year

We are desperate for a win tonight. We all know we can beat bad teams but Boston are no joke.

If Terrance continues to blindly play our 3 guard lineup we are toast. Smart Brown and Tatum going to have a field day

If we drop Nurkić/Kanter against this team, we are going to get blown out.

Brad Steven's job in this match is so easy. See what the past 3 teams did. Stop Dame fully, easy win.

Who can outblazer the blazers? The blazers or the blazers East? Find out at 7, on blazertv.

Terry Stotts last game as head coach. You know what to do Boston!

Boston Can I interest you in one slightly used cj mccollum for a washed up definitely no good jaylen brown?…   No? Nuts. Guess we will just play 3 6’2 guards and get eaten

Talk about bad choices,   It’s Boston announcers, Blazers announcers or TNT.   Is there even such a thing as least bad?

A win would be nice. Not getting blown out would also be acceptable

C's are 28-26 and are suppose to be contenders in the East were not the only good team struggling

They got better while getting healthier, we’ve seemingly have gotten worse while getting healthier.

Tatum had 53 last game. Praying to the BBall gods we can slow him down.

And stop wearing those ugly grey uniforms!

Haven't seen Dame that open from three in a while feels like

It only took them 4 games to run an off ball play for Dame and instant success!!! So exciting

LOL Tatum left wide open to start the game. F***ing unbelievable.

Refs...

Raps fan here, NOTHING better than watching Norm drain 3s on Boston

Good start so far, we'll see how stotts adjusts when Boston inevitably finds a way to stop these sets

Dame only averaging 15ppg the last 5 games yikes

Can we play some type of defense?

The Celtics 6-8 and 6-6 wings are licking their chops seeing these 6-3 defenders.

Tatum scores 53 vs Denver last game.   Now let’s see how he does against nearly the worst defense in the NBA

Scared Smart and Brown will trap Dame

Grant Williams is really strong too

Rob Williams fills the stat sheet. X factor.

Norm looks tiny guarding Tatum.

Since nobody is playing Defense we might have a chance.

Clearly this is a defense optional game

Wonder how Boston will adjust hopefully it doesn’t work and if it does hopefully we can react to it

These first five minutes are peak Blazers offense! Play like this and we don’t suck!

I don't know if shooting 78% from 3 is a sustainable strategy, but it sure would make us difficult to beat!

I feel like whenever we start like this we cool off in the third and then lose by 20.

Looks like CJ is working hard on D tonight; he should try that every night.

Now, if we don’t abandoned these adjustments after the first I’ll be pretty happy.

Lmao let Smart shoot those

Smart thinks Dame is stupid enough to run into him for that bait lmfaoooo

We’re leading, RE-SIGN STOTTS!!!!!!!!!!

Wow is it the Celtics D or are we just playing smart for once?

Kemba always looks like he’s just having so much fun and it’s so wholesome

Do the Celtics play defense? This might be a Melo game

Fire Terry!

Wholesome Kemba lol


legit as soon as i started watching the game, boston went on that run Sad

to be fair that's when Melo and Kanter came in too

I want in on the kemba kanter convo!

Is PPritch active

Enes can’t play tonight, against shooting guards his defense just kills us.

CJ for Jaylen Brown in the offseason tho?

Man, Enes is tryin so hard on D right now

wait melo just NAILED back-to-back shots, what is happening

Melo only plays well for National TV games

Good thing all the playoff games are televised lol.

Kemba Walker doesnt even kill like that anymore and all the sudden playing the blazers he’s back

Unleash Little vs his inferior two way wing rivals Tatum and Brown

Let’s go! Only 1 foul on Nurk at the end of the first; we have a chance!

Wonder if the inevitable third quarter breakdown is coming today

Feels like a totally win-able game here

See me in my office after the 3rd quarter, and we'll discuss further.

Not impressed because defense is still trash. Once we start missing it will be a blowout.

Brad Stevens is a very good adjustment coach   Halftime will lead to a usual 3rd quarter collapse.

I keep forgetting Tristan Thompson is still in the league

Boston should be so much better.

This drop scheme making Kemba look good Lmao

Kemba's gotten three straight wide open threes because of the high screen and Kanter dropping. No adjustment whatsoever

I mean, Kemba is good    But giving him wide open looks is probably not optimal

(he's shooting 33% from 3 this year)

He's gonna be 40+ once this game is over

The Celtics defense is atrocious

We’re not even playing well   The Celts just aren’t good

Celtics suck   Brad Stevens gives minutes to so many mediocre players

I think Brad has lost the team a bit  I wonder if these smart nice guy coaches just don’t have the fire that it takes to get big ego guys moving and doing the dirty work.

This Celtic team has a bunch of scrubs, Ainge fumbled HARD  Theis was their 5th best player and they moved him for nothing  Zero depth

The drop-off from the starters to bench is precipitous, especially without Fournier.

Da** good defense by Smart


Anyone else want Jason Tatum to dunk on Draymond Green in a future game and afterwards exclaim "My sub has BACON!"?

I'm getting Draymond's sub every time

Celtics offense is such a mess. At least Portland has 1 good playmaker in Lillard.

ref helping us out lmao

Melo just took pritchard to school 🤣

Enes kanter singlehandedly brought the celtics back in to the game

That was the most Marcus Smart sh** I’ve ever seen in my life lmao

man marcus smart has heart


Kemba a brave man for taking a charge on Kanter

Dame time vs time lord = clock issues

Boston’s defense and hustle is very impressive. Seems like quite a while since we’ve seen a Blazers team play with that kind of intensity on defense.

Boston hot shooting and playing swarming defense. Yikes.

Scalabrine is so repetitive

Smart is infectious at times for them

buckle in y'all. Blazers are looking okay at the half, which means we're in prime territory for the Bermuda triangle of basketball, the Blazers 3rd quarter.

TNT keeps saying we're trying to find our identity but honestly i think "making every single game way too close and hoping it works out" is pretty much our identity lol

Is it just me or does this game feel way different than the last few? Nurk playing great and there's actual effort on D.

Celtics practice flopping in practice

celtics are allowed to be as physical as they want with nurk

Celtics are lowkey east Blazers lol

Celtics flopping like a bunch of fish

Celtics starters all negative +/-

Let’s uh, stop Jaylen from killing us please

So how do we trade for Marcus Smart

The Celtics are a bunch of f***ing floppers. I’d rather play LeBron instead

This is our best offensive game in a while.

That Tatum and brown combo man

I like how Kemba is joking around with Kanter. Must be a real likeable guy

Celtics gotta have the worst bench in the NBA

Kanter is an absolute gem, you can even see it when he interacts with previous teammates, they love him, such a great human, and even better player

Celtics attacking so much more when Enes is in vs Nurk

Tatum is straight cooking us

Can you chill a little Tatum?

Jayson Tatum falls.......2 automatic free throws

Tatum has 17 points since Norm sat down earlier.

Big surprise Celts 10-2 run to end the quarter vs Melo Kanter lineup

At this point, all I want is Terry Stotts to get fired

Did we just play 24 whole seconds of defense?

Wow the Celtics bench only have 5 points so far

Celtics doing a great job of answering the runs.

Tatum always goes off against us with those stepback 3s

I get a feeling that Tatum, Brown, Smart, and Walker are going to play ~40 mins each tonight

I cant believe I have to root for us to lose, each loss brings us one closer to stotts firing

Stevens only taken 2TOs 🤔

Outscored by 8 in the third. Feels like an improvement, sadly.

I hate this team so much

Celtics about to make those easy runs right now.   I would if I were them. We have really shi**y lineup.


Powell gonna foul out the entire C's squad

Celtics just looking for Melo so they can go at him.

Tatum is a f***in baller. da**.

I would like a 6'9" all-star like Tatum please


Yk sh** is bad when a 36 year old Melo is bailing us out.

Boston has been getting ticky tack calls all game and we can’t get sh**.

I wish we could draft a Tatum just once

Im glad the Celtics havent realized they have a lay up line against this lineup

Ball literally lands at Melo's feet, too lazy to secure it, quick 2 point layup for Boston

It’s depressing watching this team

Trying to take on Smart/Tatum in the post on turnaround fadeaways are not good shots.

Man, Smart is such an annoying opponent. It shouldve been a one possession game right now

Smart is awesome

He's their Draymond Green. Except likeable  And can shoot

I would LOVE him on our team

How Marcus Smart plays on defense is pretty endearing tbh.

Jaylen Brown is one of the biggest floppers in the NBA

Unfortunately for boston, the blazers have this guy named damian lillard who is kinda good in clutch time

Celtics are bad     They could be getting to the rim at will but settle for long contested 3s

Kemba doing his best Tatum impression there

These are the same Celtics who outscored Denver 40-8. If we can pull this out, it will be huge

Who is this Robert Williams and why is he able to bully our bigs

Celtics so unclutch LMAO.

Fun game but unfortunately we are going to lose

There are THREE players on Tatum.   How can you not force him to give up the ball without fouling?


Nice Mickey Mouse call for Tatum there

Good D on Tatum, he just good.

Who does this jason tatum guy think he is?? Damian lillard. Lol that f***ing sucks but it was an incredible shot

Wow, what a shot by Tatum. Must be cool to have a forward.

That's the advantage to having a 6'9" all-star guard, you don't have to worry about getting open at the end of games; you're already open.

Blazers are poo poo

Stotts doesn’t coach late game. He just lets the guys do whatever.

Smart play by smart

That is smart coaching by Brad Stephens.

Smart missing that last free throw was honestly the smartest move all night


that coach said to miss it on purpose smh this nba is rigged

Da**. Great call from Stevens at the end. Whoever gets the ball on the predetermined miss, double.

The right call no matter who made it and impressive that the players on the floor knew exactly what to do with no timeout. Pressure, trap, but under no circumstances foul.


FIRE STOTTS that was actually a pretty good game.

There isn’t a player in the league I hate more than Marcus Smart

Brad Stevens a thinking coach. Stotts a Kumbayahoo.

I think they call this a moral victory, afterall we didn't get our shoot kicked in for once against a decent team

I'd love to have a defender like Smart.  He makes a difference.  

entering the game, Boston was 2 games over .500; Portland was 9 games over .500. You don't get moral victories over worse teams. Actually, in the NBA, you don't get any moral victories


We are mediocre. Blow out bad teams, compete with middle of the roads teams, get blown out by good teams.

Mediocre team that is better than it's record defeats mediocre team that is worse than it's record

I would classify the healthy Celtics team that we just played as a "good" team


I wish we had a hot young guy like Tatum.

Beer is my friend.
