Kornet in just a few minutes has been the best Celtics big tonight. The Muscala trade looks really terrible in retrospect and having the open roster spot is rough.

I continue to think Grant is going to regret turning down that preseason extension

Grant does a belly flop across the lane and then spends the entire next 2 possessions stationed near the ref chirping. He is embarrassing to even watch at this point

Well that absolutely sucked but -spin zone - at least it was a quick death at the hands of Kristaps and the Mossad dude

Hope that CJM lights the team up publicly after that monstrosity.

Maybe the worst Al Horford game I’ve ever seen. Grant continues to piss away millions each time he steps on the floor. Whole team Couldn’t buy a bucket from 3

Just seeing the score now. How the F did the Celtics get absolutely obliterated by the Wizards? I'm getting pretty tired of seeing the Celtics get run over by mediocre and terrible teams. Seems like it happens all the time now.

Awful effort. Awful defense. Awful 3 Point shooting.

They had a stinker and its kind of meaningless assuming the seeding doesn't change.

Or - and the main board posts will tell you this - they are a terribly coached team filled with people who have deep moral failings and cannot win because of it.

I like my explanation better but whatever works for you all.

I wouldn't have paid $400 regardless, but still
It was for two tickets at face value and included dinner, drinks, and Uber there and back. Considering what Ticketmaster was charging for shittier tickets, I convinced myself it was a bargain. Besides, my kids like ramen noodles and off-brand soda…

Son’s first in-person Boston sports team loss and he didn’t handle it well. Now, 14-1. First world problems.

Was at the game (my son’s second Cs game— fortunately he saw the Cs beat the Clips back in Dec). The short story is the Wiz couldn’t miss and the Cs couldn’t hit. Oh, and Marc Davis.

The slightly longer story is that the Cs treated this like a Globetrotters game— passing up on layups, random passes behind the back/between the legs, etc. And then when they tried to kick it into 2nd gear, well, the Wiz couldn’t miss.

The one genuinely concerning thing (aside from Mazzula watching his players obviously not give a shit & just shrugging his shoulders— yeah, I get it, players league but still . . . ) was the interior D. The Wiz game plan was for whoever had Al on them to take the ball to the hoop. He looked like he was moving in quicksand (watching Advija & Kispert blow by him easily was like watching Ali vs Holmes— yup, dated reference). And the Cs allowed the Wiz to exploit that continually throughout the game.

And for those wondering why TL only got 15 minutes— it’s by far the worst I‘ve seen him. All 6-2 of Kendrick Nunn grabbed 2 rebounds over him. They went right at him for 3-4 easy baskets early (which he barely contested). He had a total brain fart turnover and one other offensive snafu. I don’t put much stock in single game +/- but he was -14 in 15 minutes. The glass half full part of me hopes he consumed too many CBD gummies pre-game.

On the plus side, my son realized “hey, if Grant Williams can be an NBA player maybe I can, too” (FTR, he’s 9 years old and like 4’6”. My son, not Grant Williams. No matter how it appeared tonight).
