No. Tell your friend to not enjoy it and be concerned instead.

At some point, you have to wonder how the hell is this team 6 games up on everyone in the East and 4 games up on everyone in the league. Is the rest of the NBA garbage?
You forgot their backup big is ancient.

Another poorly officiated game. Why do some officials think the fans pay to see them?

JT MAGNIFICENT IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY!
Jrue (12 assists), Derrick & Big Al super solid.
7 was pure garbage yet again w bad D, 3 TOV, bad shooting, selfish.
Lord knows I want him **** gone this summer.
When he plays like this (too often), Bubbles should bench him - especially down the stretch.
Oh yeah, we gave up a 20 point lead & second half was painful to watch.
Should EASILY have won by 30.
They shot the lights out from 3. Unacceptable.
Not gonna work VS good teams in the POs.
42-12
Clean their plate tomorrow & 8 days off.

SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

A fan like yourself thinking this is one thing. Unfortunately, I feel the team themselves thinks this far too often and it has and will continue to burn them, especially in the playoffs. Hopefully it doesn’t happen this year.

If we didnt play the 2-1-2 zone for half the minutes of the first half, we win this game by 25. I know we're experimenting but you cant play a zone at 70% effort. Not upset about it but it didnt look good. hauser and pritchard were especially disappointing.

The zone is intriguing, but yeah the execution of it has overall been bad and not just last night either.

Joe is a savage. Hack-a-Ben in the second quarter followed by Hack-a-Nic? The man ain't playing.

This is insane lol
Stop it.
Listen I'll take winning, but they're definitely struggling too much in these games. This team the last few weeks has been the real test of process vs results, especially if they win like this again today.
Does that matter in the regular season much? Probably not, but their level of play is an obvious step down from earlier in the year. It just goes to show how insanely high their margin of error is to lose, which is a good thing. But they love testing that lol, it burned them against the Lakers.
I agree a lot of it is fatigue though.

Hey guys just a reminder we have the highest net rating in the league by full +2.2 points. There's more distance between Boston and LAC than there is between LAC and the 6th ranked Knicks. If we are struggling to put teams away, then the rest of the league is having a worse time of it or are actually losing those games instead of pulling out Ws.
