I was at the game. What a sorry show. Great "3" Pt. "D" for most of the game. Wasted because the only one of the Big "3" who showed up was Ray Allen. PP & KG couldn't hit a bull in the butt.

The 1st half we had Perk & Rondo with 2 Pts. Ouch. KG was a cripple. He dragged his leg all night. PP looked like he had Swine Flu. Slow motion. Wallace hit shots, but he is disaster waiting to happen. He gets a "T" as he scores. Then he shuts up for the rest of the game. Why not just shut up for the whole game? Howard can't shoot a Foul Shot. Terrible, yet he is better than Perk & Rondo. UGH!

We had the big lead, then give up 35 Pts. in the 4th quarter. We got murdered on the "O" board. Wallace had a big (2) Rebounds for the game. We blew it!!!

If we don't drink a case of Red Bull, we will get killed tonight in Atlanta.

it was painful watching Garnett. Those two ally hoops he missed...i think he was afraid to jump and hurt his knee.

But watching Doc's wife bored out of her mind was just too funny.

[ThroughThatDoor]

I don't want KG out there. He's clearly not healthy and why risk him hurting himself again. The team fell apart and gave the game away and Sheed's "help" defense on the game winning basket was criminal. He had about four seconds to get over there with how slow that move was.

Watching JJ Reddick play like that is torture, as much as I can credit Ray for his offensive output, the fact that Reddick destroyed us in that manner is despicable and once again accountability needs to be questioned.

The KG play was bad, but had Perk been on the floor, he would've helped on D. Lewis torched Baby that way over and over last year, but Scaly was doing a nice job on him 1st half.

[CaptChris]

TCF: I find it strange that you have a problem with Ray and BB, yet don't blame Perk or Rondo or PP. Or didn't you watch the 1st quarter when Nelson got 10 in a row? Rondo couldn't stay in front of a telephone poll. KG was terrible. He couldn't guard anyone.

PP produce 12 Pts. -- 2 Rebs. -- 3 Assists --4 T/O's -- on 3 - 12 FGA. Perk gave us a robust 4 Pts. -- 3 Rebs.. He and Wallace got outrebounded 18 -- 5 by Howard and Gortat.

Yup! The problem was Ray and BB.

Too bad the C's aren't playing in a CYO league.. I think those games are 4, 8 minute quarters. They might be able to sustain a full game effort for that long.

I hope I eat crow at the end of the year, but I don't see these guys doing much of anything thus year. We have a really tough time against CHI, ATL, and CLE. We can match up against ORL pretty well, but only for 25-30 mins. Pray I'm wrong, but I just don't see much to be confident about this year.:(

Stick a fork in KG.

You can't play Sheed and KG on defense together at the end of a game with a last play, guard everyone 1 on 1 type situation. Thay are just too old and slow.

KG got abused by Lewis on that last play and Sheed had all he could do to stick with Howard and can't cover for a drive like that. If those 2 are on the floor at the same time on D at the end of a game you basically have to zone up if you want to have a chance.

[Celtics17]

Well, I'm a silly optimist. I'm thinking that there's a chance that KG can get that knee back to some semblance of his old self. But, yeah, if he can't, he's toast, and if he's toast, so are the Celtics chances for a title this year.

I've been reading your posts over the past few weeks and I'm wondering - is there any player on the Celtics whose play you approve of? I agree that nobody is playing at the level I'd like, but generally it's mostly Ray who just drives me nuts. But it seems like they all drive you nuts. Anyone any good? (I'm not trying to be belligerent here, I really want to know what you think).
