As it turns out, I wasn&#x2019;t the only one disgusted with the Celtic&#x2019;s performance the other night. Their coach, Brad Stevens, not only sat his starters and second-stringers in the 4th quarter but he also called out his players after the game, questioning their &#x201C;toughness.&#x201D; This is code-word or coach-speak for, &#x201C;You&#x2019;re not man enough to play this game!&#x201D; Such language, subtle though it may seem, is an affront to every male athlete (or at least those who cherish their masculinity). Doubling down on what the coach said, Kyrie Irving and Al Horford, as leaders on the team, also chimed in:"[Toughness is] something that always needs to be there. It&#x27;s the Celtic way, the way that you want to play and the things that you want to do and set the tone," said Horford. "Right now, we&#x27;re picking our spots for when we want to be and do that."After the Celtics&#x27; locker room had cleared out, Irving took his place in front of the cameras and offered a state of the union in which he seemed to suggest that Boston needs more consistency and dependability from its youngest players."Coach just wants us to go play hard for him, and he deserves that," said Irving. "So I don&#x27;t blame him for saying we&#x27;re lacking toughness, at that point of just willing yourself to be in the right spots, and stay disciplined and be smart enough to follow the game plan."Brad Stevens is a very understated coach, and the fact that he, and/or the players he spoke through, questioned the team&#x2019;s &#x201C;toughness&#x201D; means he is putting some his guys on notice. My guess is that the Celtics will, at the very least, show up and play hard tomorrow. In the modern NBA, that&#x2019;s all you can ask for from a team: i.e., that they show up and play hard for 48 minutes. The other night against the Jazz, the Celtics did not do that. Let&#x2019;s hope they learned from their mistake. I am not going to cap the Hornets here because I believe the ball is in the Celtics court (so to speak). They are the superior team (though they have not played like one so far) and can win this game (barring another 60 point performance from Walker:) if they really want to.Good luck.

really digging that under at first glance......have to dig in some moreBOL on the bet tomorrow

begginerboy · Answer

Effort usually means defense, so I guess that&#x27;s another way to play it. Good luck, BigD.

damn BB....hate betting with the public......

begginerboy · Answer

Was going to mention that in my writeup. But, as you saw with Blazers and Lakers tonight, public wins too. However, they probably got killed in the NFL today.

lmb4321 · Answer

have you wagered it yet...or waiting till tomorrow ....to see if the line changes for whatever reason

begginerboy · Answer

masterkush · Answer

BB if this bets wins........I can almost guarantee that Milwaukee or San Antonio will lose ATS or SU. My late play depends on this game. I have no opinion to offer but good luck tonight.

Well, this sucks. Celtics showed up and played hard (31 assists, 15 blocks and steals, 50% shooting), keeping their nose in front for most of the game after that first quarter (where Stevens was messing around with his lineups). Then they were up by 10 in the 4th with 8-9 minutes to play, only to have Walker go off and score 21 points! I did not see that coming. Nor did I see a 43 point performance after he scored 60 the other night. Nor did I expect a 36% career three point shooter to hit 7-13. Why didn't Boston just get the ball out of his hands??

What was the defensive game plan against this one dimensional team? In fairness, I did not see the game, but heard some people complaining about Zeller's illegal screens. Anyway, I'm done.

You guys don't need me and I don't need this. You guys have League Capper, and that is more than enough. He really is. I was with my kids today on what should have been a beautiful outing on the beach, and all I did was check the damn score every two minutes to see if we were going to get this win. The colorful sunset, the majestic sky, the crashing waves, my loving children, all took a backseat to the drama of the F'n Celtics and Hornets...and I hate myself for it. Just hate myself.

Except for one last play that I will post in the NFL forum (only because I already wrote the damn thing and believe it will win), that's it for me. My record for this year is 15-6 in the NBA and 16-6 in the NBA and NFL combined this year.

Good luck. And my apologies if I cost you money tonight.
