INSTANT REACTION: C’s not locked in when it matters vs. Trail Blazers and ‘THEY PAID FOR IT’
Eddie House and Chris Forsberg join Tom Giles to offer instant reaction and analysis following the Boston Celtics’ 114-108 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers in the second game of their five-game road trip to fall to 19-12 on the season. Boston, losing for just the fifth time in the last 19 games, turned the ball over 19 times including two key mistakes in the final seconds. Later, Brian Scalabrine and Drew Carter join from Portland to share their thoughts on the game.

The tank is finally on! 🤣
Mazzulla needs to play Baylor MORE!!!
Celtics suck !! Lose to bucks , nets , jazz , blazers .. down double digits to pacers twice ..
P.P., White and Simmons were all no shows tonight !!! 3:51
I knew White was regressing but I never thought it’d hit this quick, trade him while the value is still high
No criticism of JB, but he's got to stop holding the ball when he sees a double-team coming. I mean you can see it coming. I love JB, but don't blame D White- you got to get yourself in a better position to receive that pass. That was a bad look on your part being the team leader. Everybody's growing in this unusual season for the team. Season will have peaks and valleys, but I believe they'll figure it out. Like the direction they're headed, with JB as team leader.
After scoring 27 points in the 1st half, JB finished with 37. Not good! The Celtics needed more scoring from him because the role and bench players didn't have it going tonight.
Hauser no show, PP, Simons & D White below average offense. D White great on D (5 stl 1 blk) though. JB7 gets 37 pts 7 reb 4 ast, and the next best all round player is probably Hugo (13 pt 6 reb 3 ast 2 stl)??
Cs can't win if the 3 pt snipers flunk the task.
GROM – get rid of Mazzula he doesn't know how to adjust when talent is not enough by itself. In first half Celtics had leads second trailers adjusted Mazzula didn't so Celtics lost! Stop missing free throws!
Every mistake that players make is on Mazzula – Celtics fans get it in your very stupid heads! If JB makes hundreds shots of course he will have 30 points games – the trick is to score on all shots.
Hugo jugó un buen partido hoy, es de lo poco que se puede destacar bueno del partido junto a los 2 primeros cuartos de Brown.
JB, clinging to ball to much the defence caught on him.
dame jrue scoot matisse blake jerami and timelord all injured hold this L
Go into numbers: JB – 2-5 from 3 – worst Max contract player 3 shooter in the world! 14-23, 6! Turnovers, missed 30% of frickin free throws! Plus 0- JB give back money to Celtics like Tom Brady would!
DW you don't deserve even ten percent of your salary: 5-16, 2-10 from 3, 3 turnovers, minus 0 , but Mazzula keeps him for 40 minutes – GROM get rid of Mazzula, Baylor did absolutely nothing but he is there for 7 minutes with -4, ANF is -15, 4-11 but Mazzula keeps him for 19 minutes!
This is completely worseless instant reaction when you are afraid to really criticize everyone starting with coach! NBC Boston sports I'm really really disappointed!
You will never win again in Portland!
Turbo time!
