    Celtics are falling apart big time. Blew a 21 point lead in Memphis tonight.

    They've gone from 18-13 with 3 games against the worst teams in basketball upcoming to now 19-18 and on the outside looking in.

    Celtics have had a ton of draft picks in the past few years and have even more to come, but instead of playing guys like Hunter, Rozier, Young & Mickey they are running out guys like Jerebrko, Lee, Turner, s--- even Sullinger who probably won't be here next year.

    Decisions need to be made for Stevens, C's don't have enough minutes to go around for the vets nm the young guys that need to be developed. D-League competition is garbage so playing these guys there isn't doing much for them, they need to see NBA action.

    Would like the rotation to look like this, still don't really have a backup at the 3 although Smart can defend that position so they could go small when Crowder is out.

    Thomas/Smart/Rozier
    Bradley/Hunter/Young
    Crowder/Smart
    Amir/Mickey
    Olynyk/Sullinger/Zeller

    @Rowney Wiz seem like they have half the squad out tonight, thinking (wishing) the Bulls come out and get them early.

    Wall v Rose is great so far as usual, Bulls are still the most arrogant team in the league. They honestly believe they can just make a run every 2nd and 3rd quarter and make up for their lazy starts. Wizards on the road and hurting and they still can't come out crisp and execute.

    So tired of watching these guys sleep walk for 3 quarters and then all of the sudden try to turn it on in the 4th.

    So apparently JB was seen badly limping around the lockerroom, as if we didn't already have enough issues. He's had a thigh issue for a bit so seems like it's just gotta worse over time.

    s--- sucks bro. Honestly felt like wiz nd bulls wud be right behind cavs at the beginning of the year. Hopefully it aint too serious but yall got a little leeway, apparently beal coming back within a week. A healthy beal nd nene completely change the trajectory of the sqaud.

    This dude nene always shows up against yall dont even know why lol(his defense is lethal compared to soft a--- gortat btw- in case the wiz defense surprised u)

    Nothing really surprises me with Washington. A healthy Wizards are definitely the 4th or 5th best team in the east. Nene and the Wiz in general always play hard against the Bulls no matter the situation. I think the Bulls thought they'd be able to outlast a depleted squad, which goes back to my comment about how arrogant they are.

    Its pretty funny tho, I was thinking bout it nd wiz nd bulls in similar situations..
    Last like 3-4(longer for the bulls prolly) both teams had top 5 defenses nd subpar offense.
    Now its priority offense, nd talking bout playing better d. Noah nd nene shud help with that tho

    Yo when dunleavy back? Feel like yall cud use em too

    Man who knows. Hoiberg said he hopes he'll be back in 4-6 weeks. We need him bad, our record was -.500 w/o him last year. I blame that on our FO though. They basically pushed all in on the combination of Snell, Mcbuckets, and Dunleavy (who was scheuled to have back surgery before even signing his deal) at SF, and it's been a huge hole for us all year. Niko is a big issue, he takes some awful shots and is probably responsible for letting up more points that he puts up. He's way out of position playing the 3, and even at the 4 he's weak and lacks the mentality to battle for positioning & rebounds.

    He's about his money, and I respect that, but don't cry to the media talking about all you care about is winning games. He had a golden opportunity to contend for the title for the next 4-5 years.

    Tony Parker on fire, 31 pts. No one talks about the Spurs but they have almost the same record as the Warriors

    Hey another loss to a non playoff team!!

    Of the 15 games the Bulls have lost this season, 9 have come against teams under .500.

    Byron sounds in favor of Vitti'a suggestion of shutting Kobe down 1-2 weeks. But Byron plans to talk to Kobe, Gary and Mitch


    You gotta be f---in kidding me, seeing Kobe for what would have been the last time in about a week and a half and now this...Although it's not confirmed yet, the idea that they're discussing it and the fact that Kobe left the last 2 games early tells me it'll happen.

    f--- my life, god damnit..
