    Celtics lose to GSW. Sloppy game from them, and they didn't do anything in the last few minutes.

    DET needs a buzzer-beater to beat the Thunder at home.

    Funny how a team can be on pace to easily break the single-season wins record and then a poor couple of days and they're no longer even on pace to break it.

    Hard to win 72 games.

    they have to play the kings first, so hopefully they will take their anger out on them

    obvious that the celtics don't really have a great bench this year. probably won't matter much in the playoffs, but when the starters get tired during the regular season they will be vulnerable to anyone.

    AMEN! Just think if MIXUM was a Celtic fan! He'd be demanding that they trade Pierce and fire Ainge and Doc right now!

    I don't know if any of you remember the Bulls run, but they had a stint in the middle of their big season where they lost several in a row. Just about this time of the year too, on a swing through the west. The league is too good to not endure some bad times during the season.

    You may want to give a little credit to the warriors. When they play like they did last night they are tough to beat at home. They played swarming D and wore the Celtics down in their fast pace style. Plus they got some crutial calls during the run. The place was rocking and the Refs got caught up in it. It was fun watching Doc Rivers yell Bullshit over and over.

    Oh, I'll give the Warriors credit. You're right that the crowd was in it and probably wore BOS down. All I was saying was that it was a 4pt game with 2+ min left (iirc) and they ended up losing by 10.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Heh, I remember that loss. The Bulls somehow fell behind by over 30 to the mediocre Nuggets, then stormed back to take a lead in the fourth quarter and then ran out of steam from the comeback and lost.
