    Great excuse like always with you Green 20 points in first half 6 second half you are so inconsistent and along with the rest of your loser teammates pierce garnet terry suck suck suck

  • tom

    Celtics and bruins are a waste to Boston

  • Anonymous

    It is really Johnny Spygate

  • mike

    Celtics have no chance and they have no future

  • Titletown1

    Celts looked exhausted halfway through the 4th quarter….especially that guy who got all those games off down the stretch….didn’t do much good.

  • fab4ever

    No. Spygate is a bit more resourceful with his vocabulary. This is that loser “Krusty” who I had bounced from these boards over the winter. Here’s the rub; This moron is gonna feel the heat as well…I’ll have him gone …he can create as many ID’s as he wants, he can post from different computers but he’ll be gone.

    For all you unidentified troll callers out there, why don’t you respond to how Bradley played instead of calling someone who wants the team to win the title a troll, regarding the Celtics. It was a debacle. Ghost of Red must have missed how pizz poor Bradley was with turnovers, too busy blaming just Lee who only had one TO. Picking
    up his dribble which then telegraphing passes. That tells me nobody
    that posted before me knows squat about hoops. Piece had too many TO’s
    down the stretch. One poster identified that Randolph didn’t play, that
    was right on, dude should have come in to give KG a blow. Bass and
    Green played well. Everybody else was not good. KG and Pierce couldn’t
    his the broad side of a barn and were not in command. Part of the idiot concepts of Doc
    Rivers, this guy had one good season with a stacked team in 08, he
    blows, players don’t RESPOND to him anymore. I see that nobody before me gave
    Bradley a hard time for screwing up the game in the first half. The C’s
    could have gone up by 10. But dopey Bradley was busy trowing the ball
    out-of-bounds on a possession, missing a wide open lay-up, but Doc
    didn’t have the balls to take him out. You know who played well Bass.
    Bass completely checked Anthony the first half and won’t have big stats
    to show. So if you have something pertinent to say then do it. If you want to post Bill_hicks=troll and bash you are a coward.
