Are they Celtics going to be this miserable looking when they leave the court tonight?

[bing!]

The Nets beat 'em a few nights ago, ergo, we lose.

[GoBobs]

Teams that play decent defense scare me considering our offense.

[TheBeagle]

The Nets beat 'em a few nights ago, ergo, we lose. This logic makes perfect sense, which means I think we may actually have a chance since our boys tend to defy logic. Really must avoid a season sweep by those punks.

Damn, I failed to account for our guys' dislike for logic. To victory, then. :)

[ammofan]

ummmmm can we not play like an AAU team tonight? Thats all I want....and of course I want a win as well

[ohara831]

Not feeling good about this one. Hope the Cats come out with a fire and passion which they have basically lacked for a while. Need to right the ship and get some momentum our way.

[VJ singh]

better link

[Talent]

Murphy's law that is how I explain the Bobcats after the ASB.

[CatNation]

we suck.

and the celtics announcers make me sick

[catsandheels]

i think were playing alright so far, we will pull it through.

[GoBobs]

this is indeed sorry.....have I mentioned Larry needs to go

[Talent]

Bobcats look like they don't have a coach.

[BobcatsAllDay]

Do we need a shooter for spacing on offense? Did any shooters get bought out?

[GoBobs]

finally something from DJ

[CatNation]

DJ is lookin very aggressive. must be tough to keep goin in there when 80% if your shots get blocked

[WarioVsMooChicken]

DJ looking like an NBA player and Grahm tearing it up...

WHAT

[ziggy]

DJ Augustin playing some legit ball today

[Walt Cronkite]

DJ is lookin very aggressive. must be tough to keep goin in there when 80% if your shots get blocked

At least he's had a season and a half of playing with Felton and Wallace and a full season with Mek so they could show him the ropes of playing through despite getting your shots blocked at league high rates...

[WarioVsMooChicken]

As soon as I say it, the Celtics go ona run...

[WarioVsMooChicken]

gahn they have annoying announcers

[ItsAmazingImTheReason]

I'm watching this on League Pass and the Celtics' color guy makes me want to slit my wrists. He whines and cries about everything.

[ziggy]

Graham is leading the team in shot attempts in the first half with 8 :g:

[GoBobs]

Graham sucks. We are not good in close games on the road much less come from behind. We will make a push but I don't see us winning this one.

[spectre]

Jax with only 2 FGA for a half has to be a record. Both him and Crash have had a very quiet half. Unless that changes dramatically I'm not feeling so swell about our chances.

At least our bench is scoring for a change.

[ziggy]

Anyone heard any updates on Tyson Chandler's gimpy ankle?

[spectre]

Anyone heard any updates on Tyson Chandler's gimpy ankle?

He's an expiring next season.

I'm kind of concerned we've not heard anything about Nazr.

[Walt Cronkite]

He's an expiring next season.

I'm kind of concerned we've not heard anything about Nazr.

Steve or Dell said he didn't travel with the team b/c he's still having serious back spasm issues.

[JamieMcNeill]

AHHH lemme get a fowl! Dese guys is fowling ahh over da cort! Get me some mah chowdah and ciggs.

Their color guy sounds like george carlin minus the funny

[Walt Cronkite]

Tommy Heinsohn is a legendarily annoying CC personality.

[spectre]

Someone needs to explain to Jax that the best revenge is the W.

[ziggy]

Shit just got real

Paul Pierce was about to get chokeslammed

[GoBobs]

That is two wide open threes we have given up to Paul Pierce. If you are on the other teams best shooter you don't leave to help. :facepalm: It happens to us over and over because LB can't coach a lick!

[SWedd523]

You know.... I don't think there in a single person on the Celtics roster that I like. Not a single one

[Walt Cronkite]

You know.... I don't think there in a single person on the Celtics roster that I like. Not a single one

Don't understand how people have hated Rondo forever, but it is so, so there must be something I'm just missing.

[ziggy]

Swedd, I was honestly thinking the EXACT same thing.

[CatNation]

I hate to question Larry Brown, but my limited bball knowledge tells me that Stephen Graham and Theo Ratliff leading your team in shots is not a winning strategy. Am I wrong?

[GoBobs]

we need to waive the white flag and put in

DJ
Hendo
Brown
TT
Diaw

We also need to run. We have no chance to get back into this game playing LB slow down ball.

[SWedd523]

Don't understand how people have hated Rondo forever, but it is so, so there must be something I'm just missing.

I don't hate Rondo, I just don't like him that much. I guess he's just guilty by association?

[Walt Cronkite]

I hate to question Larry Brown, but my limited bball knowledge tells me that Stephen Graham and Theo Ratliff leading your team in shots is not a winning strategy. Am I wrong?

Theo at least drew two fouls... I guess Graham felt the team was desperate enough for him to take 3 3's, but all of those are bad shots for him to take. Essentially a guaranteed to and fastbreak opportunity for the Cs.

[Walt Cronkite]

I don't hate Rondo, I just don't like him that much. I guess he's just guilty by association?

OKay, I can pretty much agree with that then. I loved Allen in Seattle, KG in Minnesota and Pierce solo (or with Antoine) in Boston, but the 3 of them together is too much.

[BobcatsAllDay]

I don't know why this is a mystery to LB but teams are just packing it in on us and dbl daring us to beat them from the outside.

[SWedd523]

OKay, I can pretty much agree with that then. I loved Allen in Seattle, KG in Minnesota and Pierce solo (or with Antoine) in Boston, but the 3 of them together is too much.

Exactly my feelings. KG in Minny was one of my favorite guys in the league. Allen in Seattle was fine. Never really got into Pierce for one reason or another...

[ziggy]

speaking of hate-able players... Nate Robinson for 3

[GoBobs]

HEndo! NOw!

[spectre]

Damn DJ starting out bad in the 4th. I was hoping he could continue the good play throughout this game and hopefully build some confidence.

Hendo is in...and he made a shot!!!!!!!!!

[ziggy]

He's in. this'll be the most minutes that he has had in months

[spectre]

Shellhead is in.

I'd really like a pic of TT busting a dunk on his ass.

[ohara831]

This team looks nothing at all like the team that won so well in January. They just disappeared in February and have not returned.

[BobcatsAllDay]

Heard it here first Boston will not beat the Bucks. It's only right the way our season is going.

[SWedd523]

Shellhead is in.

I'd really like a pic of TT busting a dunk on his ass.

will this do?

[spectre]

QCH put up a blog post today using stats to (arguably) show that all those minutes Crash & Jax have logged isn't really the issue. After them only making 5 FGs between them it'll be interesting to see if he sticks with that analysis.

[spectre]

Swedd lol...that look on Shellhead's face says it all doesn't it!

[GoBobs]

Damn we suck!

[CatNation]

stephen graham is the definition of a scrub

[JamieMcNeill]

Oh shit Walt...
He just said that thing you hate... you know... the one about rookies... and LB....

[ziggy]

Boston 10 thee pointers, Charlotte Zero :facepalm:

[Talent]

so...maybe Wallace will finally get some rest that he needed.

[BETCATS]

What the fuck is this?! (appoligizes to all women and children in the room)

[Walt Cronkite]

Oh shit Walt...
He just said that thing you hate... you know... the one about rookies... and LB....

k... it is a misconception based on memory favoring the recent history over career casework.

[GoBobs]

We should have broken up this team before the deadline and gone for the future. Even if we make the playoffs we have 0 chance of making any noise the way we are playing.

[ziggy]

I'm glad to see Henderson finally get some minutes. I imagine that racking up all of those DNP-CDs has to mess with his mind.

[Walt Cronkite]

However, I've read that winters in Portland are harsh.

[spectre]

Hmmm, I didn't realize you could lean 2 ft off center into a guy going to the rim and it be a charge?

Must be one of those Bohstahn things.

[BETCATS]

Sounding a little irrational. I dont think anyone expected this to happen. After the Thomas trade and the Cleveland game, it looked like we were gonna be doing great things, but as of now, it is not to be.

[ziggy]

It's a Dick Bavetta thing

[ohara831]

Thank God that's over. What a beatdown.

[Chef]

the best part of the thomas trade was getting thomas. the bad thing was giving up flip. we now have to have great games from both gerald and jax to win. also, thomas takes away some of gerald's game around the rim. we needed to make a third trade for a scorer off the bench to replace flip. maybe hendo or brown and the raja exception for someone like eddie house.

Games since Feb 1

loss to a banged up Portland without Roy
loss to LaL
loss to Hornets at home
win over Wizards by 2 pts
win over Timberwolves by 2pts
loss to NJ at home
Win over Cleveland
loss to the bucks
loss to the LAC
loss to the Jazz
win over the GRiz by 4pts
loss to Dal
loss to Bos

To the casual NBA fan the win over the Cavs means we are a good team when we want to be. However if you consider the Cavs were coming off a loss to Denver where they gave up a 14 game win streak it is easy to see how they might come out flat the next game. Also it was Jamisons first game back and he went 0-11 or whatever. To me it looks like that game is a total fluke where we just caught them on the right night.

What about the other two wins over cleveland? There is no doubt we were playing good ball early in the season, but it hasn't been happening lately. Even if we were playing better now we should have broken up this team and gone younger. THat is not an overreaction. It is good stragiety. Jackson is going to be to old by the time we are ready to contend for a tittle. Same for LB. It certainly looks like the game has already passed him by. I am even starting to think wallace's best days are behind him. We could have gotten younger assets/cap space/picks by trading Jackson and Naz when there value was high. Instead we have a team that is going to backdoor into the playoffs and are out an extra furture pick.

I am even starting to think wallace's best days are behind him.

most of your previous post was ok, but debatable. this sentence is asinine. the man is avg a career high in rebounds, his shooting % is up and his points are consistent with last season. this will be accurate in 2 seasons but certainly not now.

[GoBobs]

He is one of those players that is great because he is a great athlete. I like how he has expanded his game this year with coming off curls for jumpers and posting up, but I am not convinced he will continue to be a great NBA player once he is no longer a great athlete.

Maybe he is just tired from all the minutes he has played. Maybe he is still not completely right with his hamstring. Maybe he is just a little to satisfied with being an all star. Whatever the reason he did not look special at all during all star weekend and his play has dropped off a bit in Feb. He is still my favorite player, and I think we should try to build with him as our centerpiece, but for the first time I am starting to have some doubts creep in about how much he has in the tank. If he has two years of prime left can we put a contender together in that time span. I don't know.

[Toocool]

Ugly game. We deserved to loose.
Crash and Jax didn't show up.
Graham, bench his ass. Took stupid dumbass shots, why would you leave him in for 20 mins when he's FAILING HARD LB :facepalm:
Hendo got game time. 10 minutes, 5 points. Not bad for a guy who hasn't played a stretch of game time in like years.

Jackson sounds off on Celtics 'disrespect' (http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/celtics_blog/2010/03/the_frustration.html?comments=all#readerComm)

I'm sick of Jack and Gerald talking. Neither has played well as of late and the team isn't going to improve because they complain to a ref, complain about opposing players, or complain about a 'team' concept that isn't being fulfilled.
