They have shot many open threes as well.

We built to big of a hole early in the season where we can't lose games. Need wiggins to come back soon because ricky can't keep this up.

Also I don't think it is lack of effort from wiggins. Just sucks that he has went cold could be tired legs

Can't understand why Thibs played starters until the game ended even tough they were almost twenty points behind. Especially if current Wiggins shooting slump has been because of tired legs.

Losing Rubio to foul trouble really hurt us tonight.

When Wiggins isn't hitting his shots, man, we are in trouble offensively these days. I mean, you can't bench him, but he's really got to recognize when to stop taking jump shots and just attack to draw fouls or look for the little dump pass. Bjelica and Bazz and even Rush can step up offensively for us, but we really need some consistency out of them, especially when Rubio or Towns are out if Wiggins is playing like this.

Dunn makes some really great defensive plays, but offensively he's out of control too much.

Tough loss tonight to a good team at home. Makes the hunt for the playoffs even tougher. But beating a team like that is more or less what we'd need to be able to do to make the playoffs anyway, so if we can't win these games, we're not ready.

C'mon Spurs! Beat the Blazers!

- The Celtics are the 2nd best team in the Eastern Conference and we played them on their home floor. They definitely looked the part. And yeah, the refs helped a bit.

- Their little guards are bulldogs on defense, but they can throw darts too. Man, besides Thomas, Bradley and Rozier are damn good shooters. They were making everything.

- Can someone explain what the hell happened to Bazz's outside shot!? It's insane how cold he is behind the arc. And it's not a confidence issue - the guy has never seen a shot he thinks he can't make.

- I don't know what to say about Wiggins, but we simply can't have him go this many consecutive games way off like this. He actually started to heat up a bit from outside way late in the game, after Thibs should have pulled the starters. But before that, he was just brutal.

- Rubio was, gulp, our leading scorer.....He was efficient too, making over 50% of his shots and turning the ball over only once. While it's heartening to see Rubio score like this, I'd much rather see him put up 10-12 PPG while piling up assists as KAT and Wig take turns destroying the competition.

- Horford did a hell of a job guarding KAT....probably the best I've seen. He has a great combination of strength and mobility.

Well, this could be the end of the road for us. Bjelly got hurt, Wiggins looks burned out, and Dallas/Portland/Denver are not going gently into the good night. Still, it's been a hell of a nice little run here.

Wiggins got hot late, once the pressure was off as the game was already lost.

Two halves for KAT. Perfect in the first, 2-7 in the second half. Horford is good. Next year is clearly ours people. Chin up.

Not sure why people are throwing in the towel on this year. There is a LOT of basketball left...

I don't have an opinion on the Wolves chances until Bloop tells me what my opinion is!
