The Nuggets come into the Garden having just done us a favor by knocking off Indy by two. Hopefully they'll come in tired, but they're probably closer to oxygen-drunk at sea level.

It feels like we're "featuring" kryie to start.

That was possibly the worst stretch of the year on both ends for uncle drew. In a number of ways.

Not a good debut for IT so far.

What a slow ugly game. I am not as hopeful as some of you when the playoffs come. This team plays so dissociated basketball its not even funny.

We hardly get into some sort of flow. Whether is on the D or on the O.

Hi IT, welcome back. Thanks for all the memories. Now keep playing as bad as you are playing right now.

Does it look like the Celts are looking to become a slow down team for the playoffs?

Chrisjey, I think you're right. This team is gonna be seriously challenged in the playoffs if they play like they're playing now. It's amazing the scoring lulls they go in. I've never seen so many horrible shots from Kyrie to Smart to Baynes. We make a solid defensive stand or backcourt steal and we immediately launch up a 3-pointer before we can even set up our offense.
It's going to be tough changing our offensive mentality that every possession is critical and you just cannot waste offensive possessions with ill-advised shots and shots taken early in the shot clock without even setting up the offense. Right now, it seems like it doesn't matter but, sooner or later, we're going to have to value our offensive possessions.

This time last year I thought we slowed things down and stayed on the ground...to prevent injuries when they count?

Or we simply have bad offensive players?

The best thing that can happen to us is to play indiana out in the first and see how philly does in the second round

We miss way too many open shots and then Denver comes down and makes an EASY two. Then Kyrie attempts another ill-advised 3-pointer.
If this team could play "the right way" for 48 minutes, they'd be hard to beat.

Kyrie shooting like crap and a lot of it Yes, he is having a bad shooting day. But I see him fully playing within the system.

The only guy that has shown progress to me is JB. Every one else have sucked for the most part this second half of the season
