    The Illinois loss was THE LOSS wasn't it? 

    Its been an enjoyable year and we'll still be in the dance but we are a team that gets soundly defeated at home by the number 18 team in the country. THE LOSS that gives us our identity. The truth serum, the litmus test.  Underwood didn't beat Woodson. Their best player was able to impose his will on ours then the caveats that come from that were daggers. In an open gym pick-up setting they would've destroyed us. 

    Right now we could be  8-4 behind three teams tied at 9-3 with wins against 2 of them. We would be ranked in the top 20. The narrative nationally would be different and we would be talking about how  we could still win the conference. Instead we are hoping not to fall apart or limp into the conference tournament. It was a huge loss. 

    Can we get Syracuse Kopp tonight?

    I gotta disagree with this. Stevens was fantastic for the most part as the Celtics coach. Last season was on Ainge way more then it was on Stevens. 

    It's not as simple as to just say that the Celtics have a high bar. Brad Stevens never once had a championship roster as coach of the Celtics. 

    Stevens went to what? Four Eastern Conference Finals as the Celtics coach? He took a team led by Isiah Thomas to the ECF and he took LeBron 7 games with a team led by a rookie Jayson Tatum (both Kyrie and Hayward were injured).

    I don't see his tenure as the Celtics coach as anything other then a success. 

    A success for any other franchise except the Lakers.  Yes, he's a good coach, but he was hired to win the crown.
