Comments from the Other Side - Warriors 3/1/15

This was a good and bad game for the Celtics!  Good in that they were able to build a big lead on the best team in the league. Good in that they came within 5 points of beating the best team in the league.  Bad, in that they allowed that 26 point lead to disappear and lost the game.  But,  to me it shows that they are on the right track.  I love how hard this team plays.  I love how they out hustle other teams for the most part.  And I love their heart.  Just a couple more pieces and they are right there in contention.  My favorites are in bold,  what are yours? 



Avery Bradley is a really good defender and the only times Curry got free at all last time was when Bradley was sitting Today it will be even harder because Marcus Smart is also a great defender and this time he is playing

These are not Bird's Celtics.

Celtics came to play

Ugh, Smart and Bradley already wreaking havoc

We suck.

We have missed a shocking number of easy shots. And Evan Turner is on fire.

**** Isaiah Thomas

Isaiah loves playing the dubs

Celtics are on fire shooting

Boston cannot miss tonight

Well they just aren't gonna miss... As we miss a lay up and dunk

Damn Turner... New Book of Barnett rule: streaky shooters love us…

I didn't think Turner was even streaky I just thought he was crappy

Celtics are slicing through our D

The celtics size is affecting us at the rim

That awkward moment where Evan Turner is getting more easy buckets than the Warriors

Here's the real bad news We’re down 10 and Warriors killer IT is only coming in now

38 points to the F'in Celtics!!!

Does IT ever make a shot And then not stare down the opposing bench? We didn’t trade ya bro Maybe he stares down everyone who didn’t draft him

I don't think the Warriors would ever draft a guy like Thomas They have a size fetish

IT has 8pts in 2.5 minutes

They're fighting for a playoff spot

Every Celtic is playing at their absolute best right now.

GO INSIDE THE PAINT! THE CELTICS ARE WEAK IN THE PAINT!

I'm calling a Crowder/Green fight

If you are going to post up Isaiah Thomas, Livingston, at least back him down a bit first

Of course Isaiah speeds to the rim with the and 1 on Lee

Is there a more annoying commentator than Heinsohn? I feel sorry for Boston fans.

Can we trade Lee and Livingston for IT yet

Man, Livingston is just outclassed by Thomas

Lee can't out rebound Jonas Jerebko

We're getting beat by the hero ball of IT and Evan Turner.

Who did the scouting report? Almost everyone on Boston is capable of shooting threes

Couldn't box out Crowder

Boston is practically a new team afte mid-season! No longer a cakewalk for us...

Boston wasn't a cakewalk earlier in the year either. Brad Stephens gets his guys to play hard and within themselves it seems.

I guess we're daring Crowder to beat us from 3

Are we playing against Altlanta Celtics?

We found a way to not let Bradley bother Steph ... Have IT absolutley kill us and keep him in

Celtics are seemingly first to every ball

Everyone on the Celtics is playing harder Going for every rebound

It’s not even like the Celts are just outmuscling the smallball squad, they are just outhustling

IT out, might actually have a chance to get within 10

Celtics nice execution

Jae frikken Crowder has 9 rebounds in the first half

General consensus in Celtics Nation is that (hypothetically) they would not trade Crowder straight up for Rondo. Not that crazy, actually. Versatile wings who can shoot, rebound and defend are a great thing in today’s NBA.

These are Isaiah Thomas' Celtics.

When you watch teams like the Celtics play tonight you realize tanking comes from the top.

Looks like the call came down at half time.

down to 9, Stevens inserts IT and lead grows back to 15+

Celtics playing tough D

These Celtics are desperate to make the 8th seed

I love IT but man he gets away with so many fouls, it must be the short height

I wish Bogut played with as much energy as Bass

IT gets fouls because of his height That doesn’t mean you can’t call a foul ON the little man

IT just schooled our D with that pass

Bass dunking on our whole team lmao

Trade everyone over 6'8 this summer

I think the Celtics are fatiguing

Danny Ainge timed this perfectly

Watch IT come back in and stick a knife in us That little dude… He and Bass will turn into KJ and Barkley to close it out

15-10 assists Celtics-Warriors in the 1st half 4-9 assists Celtics-Warriors in the 2nd half

IT does not EVER commit fouls I guess Not that I would necessarily want Iguodala shooting free throws

How does IT get that rebound?

This may have been the hardest earned win of the season

I forgot Gerald Wallace was in the NBA His career will be remembered for being traded for Lillard

And being awful in dunk contest twice

Curry had as good a game as Harden and James today. For sure

Better than Lebron Steph didn’t choke

Celtics won 3 in a row and IT is a Warriors killer. Their coach has them playing really hard as well. Trap game that we fell for in the beginning.

Whoever stole IT's lucky headband in the third quarter is MVP of the gmae

He threw it after he thought he got fouled No T, of course

Much rather play Nets than Celtics They at the very least do not have as many streaky shooters, or guys that just plays with a ton of effort besides maybe Thad Young.

You know, for how much so many love IT - - worth pointing out that he went 8-21 tonight, with only one trip to the foul line, and was -10 overall for the game He clearly fills a need on Boston (they simply don’t have anyone they’re comfortable with giving the car keys to in crunch time) but I can’t help but think he’s a classic good-player-on-a-bad-team guy. Puts up good numbers, but doesn’t play well with others. He’s like a better version of Monta.

Warriors once again overcoming the refs helping a crappy East Coast team who tried their hardest and were crushed in the end.

Celtics aren't crappy any more. They gave us all we could handle and then some. Give credit where credit is due.

    LOL at Thomas/Bass as KJ/Barkley. That tickled me because I always had a soft spot for Kevin Johnson... hope he makes it into the Hall of Fame this time around despite the short career.
