3/13 Celtics @ Rockets

[bigq]

The Rockets are nearly the bottom of the barrel of NBA teams. They are one of only three teams in the league that has already been eliminated from the postseason. Their offense is 2nd worst in the league in PPG (only the Heat are worse) and their defense is 3rd worst. The Celtics should win this game going away however funny things can happen in NBA games. I have only been to Houston once and I did not find it to be a particularly pleasant city to visit. Stay healthy and Ransack the Rockets.

 

[timelysarcasm]

Run roughshod over the Rockets! (wake up everyone)

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Oh, shit, it’s Perk!

 

[mikeot]

Perk in da house! Harangue Houston!

 

[Ale Xander]

Ram the Rockets

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Tatum just described Blake’s “hall of fame resume”.

is it tho?

 

[Bunt4aTriple]

Nba? Definitely.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Have the rockets hit the rim yet?

 

[joe dokes]

Gronk looks almost skinny (in the face) in those betting ads.

I know it's all about the 3s, but the Celtics got easy layups on the first 2 possessions and then just starting chuckin'.

 

[steveluck7]

NBC Sports Boston really banking on announcers not being listened to with Scal on the Play by Play here tonight.

 

[128]

C's specialize in playing to the level of their opponent, good or bad.

 

[Helmet Head]

Their defense against shitty teams is breathtakingly bad

 

[Don Buddin's GS]

Is everybody watching The Batchelor or what?

 

[benhogan]

OK let's get White back in there and open up a lead

 

[soxin6]

Is everybody watching The Batchelor or what?

What do you say when the Celtics are losing to the worst team in the NBA?

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Are they going to mention the tech?

 

[benhogan]

Are they going to mention the tech?

on Smart?

 

[Stu Nahan]

Not exactly the start I was looking for tonight

 

[128]

Tatum throwing up one brick after another from 3-point range.

 

[steveluck7]

This broadcast is like the local version of the Manningcast

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Clang.

 

[128]

Not exactly the start I was looking for tonight

And yet this is totally in character for the C's.

 

[Helmet Head]

Houston is just getting wide open look after wide open look. Why does this continue to happen against teams like this?

I agree that it's hard to watch, but why are posters surprised by this? The C's dick around more than any other good team in the league. The Bucks, in all likelihood, would have taken control in the first quarter.

It's terrible, Perk is rambling like me after that extra gummy.

 

[128]

Tatum: 1 for 9, with a missed dunk and six missed 3-pointers.

Agreed on all accounts. Nobody should be surprised by this. It’s just frustrating as hell

The Bucks lost in this building in December.

 

[dhellers]

Vs Houston in March. It is amusing.

 

[Auger34]

All in all probably a good game for Tatum to have one of his stinkers since the Rockets suck but still

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

Tatum: 1 for 9, with a missed dunk and six missed 3-pointers.

good to see him getting into a rhythm post ASB

 

[deconstruction]

The Bucks lost in this building in December.

Yeah but they took control in the 1st quarter.

(and then got dominated and lost the game in the 4th.)

 

[joe dokes]

It was the gummies.

Which is why I hedged a little bit. All NBA teams have banana-peel games, but the C's dick around more than most.

 

[benhogan]

all plays go through JB tonight...Tatum can watch

 

[bigq]

I don’t understand the Rockets uniforms.

 

[Cellar-Door]

The Celtics just can't guard on the perimeter, it's not a letdown game thing, Marcus has taking 12 steps back and Jaylen has slid from bad off ball, solid on to a guy who is just pretty bad at everything on D.

Let's not get into a dick-around measuring contest.

 

[Imbricus]

For a guy who's supposed to be in the MVP conversation, Tatum has a lot of crappy shooting games.

 

[128]

I don’t understand the Rockets uniforms.

Are they a throwback to the Rockets' days in San Diego?

 

[djbayko]

Tuned in for the 2nd. JB looks very light on his feet today.

 

[benhogan]

I don’t understand the Rockets uniforms.

they wore green when they were in San Diego

 

[Auger34]

2-11 with 3 turnovers in less than a half. Have yourself a game Jaysoj

 

[mikeford]

If Tatum is gonna play this badly against a team that is basically trying to lose games, he should just not play. If he's hurt, sit out.

 

[joe dokes]

I don’t understand the Rockets uniforms.

My wife grew up in Houston. She walked by the tv and "that's the *rockets!!*. Whatthefuck?"

Cs need a 4th line to do some forechecking.

 

[bigq]

Are they a throwback to the Rockets' days in San Diego?

Yep. Good call.

 

[deconstruction]

Hauser has missed some wide open threes.

 

[ifmanis5]

The current roster can't survive a bad Tatum game.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

For a $20 million player Grant sure makes a lot of completely noncompetitive plays.

 

[benhogan]

maybe have one of your PGs on the floor
