Yeah, i see it. Humphries and Evans know their job. I love big men who want to do the dirty work.
One day we'll get a skilled big that can rebound. :'(

Incredible double fail by Barbosa.
Once KG went out, we fell apart.
And the defense continues to stink. I see little or no progress game after game after game.

Nets are shooting 40%
Blatche has 10 rebounds in 11 minutes. SheeshDocs words are gonna haunt him..and us....!
The Celtics have Alaways been soft under doc.....!
Do NBA players not no how to break a press?Pass, move to the ball.....it isn't hard..!
Collins completely lost on defense.
is Collins a basketball player? Really?Ask Danny Ainge. Apparently he brings more than Blatche would have.
is Collins a basketball player? Really?
Getting destroyed by a better team right now. C's energy picked up a bit but hasn't translated into anything. Give Nets credit, they have been very good.
Rondo passing the ball going for the streak instead of winning ::)
Other than Rondo and Wilcox , I haven't seen much inspiring play .
The Celtics look like they have never played as a team in their life :'(
I think the streak is in jeopardy tonight
They can't make a trade fast enough for meWith that one I don't have a problem, Bass was at fault.
Another passed layup by Rondo. what a joke
They can't make a trade fast enough for me
Nets have played inspired ball. They have swallowed the C's on defense, owned the boards, been aggressive offensively and have hit 60% from 3. C's ineptitude is in part due to playing a team that is better right now.

Why are the Nets better? Mind boggling. Celtics absolutely stink and this is game 15
Streak NEEDS to end tonight.
Need to get a BIG that can play defense and grab boards along with a solid SF to replace overpaid JG.

Wow
Listening to this on the radio. Is Rondo gone?
He took a shot at KGs head while he was in the air. That's a flagrant.YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA boy......that is my way too....TP..!
Rondo did the right thing. You can't let guys punk your guys and get away with it. We're losing by 20. You need to make a statement that you're not going to roll over.

In all honesty, this is all Rondo's mistake.
Humphries made a hard foul, but it's nonsense of him to interrupt an incident going between other players.
And Gerald Wallace, too.
ahhh rondo shouldn't have been ejected..he didn't fight....he just held up humphries...wallce came in and did the big stuff......
We could have really used Darko tonight!Darko would do it....!

*Rondo's streak coming to an end.
*Narrow win for the Celtics.
We could have really used Darko tonight!
Rondo overpowered Humphries like the B he is. Bout time the C's showed some nastiness.i say so too...that is the first time the c's did that since the lakers beat us out with their dirt...from kobe and metta pain in the butt...
Big question now is how many games will Rondo be suspended. I got 3

Rondo went up against a guy 8 inches and 100 pounds bigger than him and destroyed him.
People who are going to gripe about Rondo doing this are the same that praise Bird for going to war for his teammates and laying it all on the line. You can't have it both ways.
Rondo has the same mentality as Bird. I will take that any day.
Apart of me is glad the streak is over. Rondo was starting to stat pad the last few games.
Me too...the streak is a who cares thing..every game is the real thing......and your team is the only thing...it is heart..and team isn't just a word....that is pickup hoop...rondo is team.....let hte league know you play them clean till you cannot do it anymore....then it is on...!He took a shot at KGs head while he was in the air.

What Rondo did was wrong, but Humphries put his hands on KG first and shouldn't have done that.
I will give him something that he stands up for his teammates and has their back, but he shouldn't have done that. Now his streak is over and the team may lose(unless they come together and win the next half).
It's dumb because Humphries caused that whole thing, if he wasn't a girl and stood his ground or just pushed Rondo back nothing would have happened he pulled Rondo towards him and fell downBig question now is how many games will Rondo be suspended. I got 3
Yeah it's going to cost us... I'm hoping he only gets 2.

KEEP. YOUR. COOL. I know Humphries started it but take it out on the scoreboard!
But hey atleast the streak is over and Rondo can now focus on playing the game the way team wants him too.
How many games will Rondo be gone? My prediction is 5 games based on past history.

Brook Lopez belongs on the brady bunchHere's a story...
Wallace is a thug
Humphries is a wimp

The replays I watched, I so him throw no punches. Some shoves, but no punches. You got to do some shoving when a 6'10 260 lb guy starts attacking you.
Shut up Donny!!!!!
Rondo instigated the brawl. League going to come down hard on Rondo. Brawl is a a serious despite the fact no punches were thrown.
I'd love to see quiet mike gorman just haul off and beat donnie marshall
can we get rid of him please

Rondo is a leader. People want to say he doesn't do the things that will help your team win games, we're going to win this game and it's going to be because of Rondo stepping up right there.
Don't be surprised if we look back at this moment in two months and pinpoint it as the moment everything for us started to turn around.

Naw, Pierce is

So can we put the whole "Rondo only cares about the streak" thing to rest now? His teammate got hit in the face, Rondo got mean, and as others in this thread have said, sort of Larry Birdish. Rondo knew what he was doing and streak or not, he wasn't going to let that stand. If you want to blame anyone, blame the refs for letting it get out of hand by not calling anything on anyone wearing a black jersey for nearly a whole half of basketball.TP...= YAY-yo....heat of the moment...!
Sorry to the naysayers - but I love the fact that our point guard just went after a guy way bigger than him. That's my freakin boy. Immature? I don't care. We need to get tougher, and if you have to take a few swings and suspensions to get that going, then so be it.
Rondo instigated the brawl. League going to come down hard on Rondo. Brawl is a a serious despite the fact no punches were thrown.
It wasn't a brawl though. I didn't even see a punch thrown. This wont be that big of a deal. Maybe a 1-2 game suspension for Rondo. All he did was shove a guy.
I'd like to hear what scal would say....he wasn't a fighter either though....i think donny initially was for it...then changed after a commercial......as in..keep your job..?I'd love to see quiet mike gorman just haul off and beat donnie marshall

TP. This is the time of year for a team galvanizing-I_got_your_back move.
Just caught up on DVR. The seeds of that "fight" were sown by the refs. Wildly inconsistent treatment of contact, and not just in Brooklyn's favor. A lot of guys got clubbed with no whistle, then a soft one would be called the next time down. That's a recipe for contact getting out of hand and players lashing out.
I don't mind Rondo for doing it, to be honest. Stupid in the short term, of course, but that old fire is exactly what we've lacked lately. Plus it was a glorified shoving match and nobody got hurt. If it finally wakes the team up for the night or for the season I'm for it.

That said, I still cannot understand what Gerald Wallace had in his mind while running to the "battlefield".
He basically outran everybody.
Celticsblog. Where hypocrisy lives. Rondo haters killing him for what they praise other players for (*cough Bird *cough). People love KG's intensity but hate Rondo's? Shocking to see who comes down on Rondo for that. The kind of thing people love in most players gets criticized in Rondo. Cheers to Rondo. Cause standing up for your teammates is just the worst!
And 0 games. For a shove? He got ejected. He isn't being suspended.

Wallace was ticked because he'd just been popped in the face. Looked like it was just the ball that hit him, but it's hard to tell, and even he might not've known for sure. But nobody's happy when they've just been hit in the face.

Looking at it again, Rondo got clocked the possession before the fight too. Can't tell if he got hit in the head, but there was no whistle then either.
We need every win we can get with this poor start
I don't understand all the people saying 'this is a man's game' and applauding rondo for getting tossed. I mean do we not agree that we are a better team with Rondo in the lineup? We need every win we can get with this poor start, and getting ejected and potentially suspended for a couple games just will make it worse.
Rondo has the skill and ability to just take it out on the nets and Humphries and just embarrass them on the court. I would much rather he do that and help us win.
Stackhouse has been on from the corner 3.that is SCAL's spot..!
actually re-watching that play, KG was on his way down, Humphries gave him an additional push...that's a dirty play.
That should have been a flagrant...it was unnecessary contact
It's like Courtney Lee lost all ability to shoot when he became a Celtic
We need every win we can get with this poor start
Not that I want to lose, but history suggests this isn't true.
Rondo out is a short-term loss on paper, but if this fires the team up it's a long-term win, and maybe even a win tonight.
Stackhouse has been on from the corner 3.that is SCAL's spot..!
We could have really used Darko tonight!
Hahaha
This whole mess actually completely brightened up my so far not very good night. Couldn't stop laughing through the whole thing
a pretty fair assessment of their play so far this year
Lee and Terry have been really disappointing, all things considered. Both have played well below the level they were at just last season.
At least with Green there's the excuse that he hasn't played in a year. Lee is obviously trying, but he can't seem to do anything offensively. Terry doesn't bring any rebounding or defense to the table, and only in a handful of games has he really given us the scoring punch we expected from him.
Oh my God, what happened to Pierce's free throw?
Avery is a terrible coach and he has outcoached doc tonight with their defense
Lakers and celts = pretenders
Love how the C's continue to leave Stackhouse open in the corner. It's like they don't learn from their mistakes.

Jeff's really in some pain.. Feel bad for him. Hopefully it's just a strain.
I am shocked by how badly the Celtics continue to play after the "fight." I fully expected they would make a run given the Nets are down 2 bigs and the Celtics would be peeved.This. Your best (can be argued) player just put everything on the line and you can't even try and win?
Instead, Pierce is playing with his eyes closed, Lee is unable to tell the difference between a black jersey and a white one and Stackhouse is killing us.
he been playin good da past 3 games it just aint there todayOh my God, what happened to Pierce's free throw?
Better: what happened to Pierce, period.

Come on. Keep working hard. Going to guess green has a knee bruise
Barbosa really making poor plays tonight.Detrimental to the team
at this point, where can the blame be laid?
The players have shown they have talent -- just not as this collective unit. Is it on Danny for not getting a better mix of players? Is it on Doc for not getting this roster playing as a team? is it on the players for suddenly not producing this year?
Can't blame it on age this year. only KG, PP and JET are 'old'.
at this point, where can the blame be laid?except those are your 3 most important players after Rondo, some nights they'll be there, some nights they wont

wow, just wow.
those last 2 plays pretty much demonstrate the inconsistency of officiating by these refs tonight.
just as a small sample for tonight. they've stunk all night but those 2 consecutive plays pretty much put the officiating bias on full displaywow, just wow.

What I was getting at is.. Just tonight? I'd dare say they've been painfully inconsistent all year so far.
I'm still happy with getting Rodney Rodgers for Joe Johnson. :'(
Refs have sucked tonight.
I know we're usually not allowed to say that when the Celts play bad though
I'm still happy with getting Rodney Rodgers for Joe Johnson. :'(like what Rodney did for us that year but I wanted to send out Kedrick Brown instead. JJ showed he could play in the first part of the year, Kedrick showed squat.
Broken arm.looked like he was moving the arm and hand on the bench. hopefully just something temporary
Full credit to Brooklyn tonight.
Heck of a game by them.
Hope lee is okay. All the potential trading chips going down tonight.

call me crazy but wasn't this new roster geared towards improving our ability to score so we wouldn't be looking at more games where we'd struggle to get 80 points?
Nets are doing a great job of holding us at arm's length. It's not for lack of trying but they keep making enough plays to keep us from getting over the hump.agreed. unfortunately, this is not the Nets teams of the recent past.
Pierce trying really hard, but this is the worst game he ha played in ages.

He looks old, tired, goofy. Hard to watch.
No one has guarded stackhouse tonight. Not once. Just horrendous.
Jeff Green on that rebound. Are you kidding me? He is awful.
put me on the trade J. Green bandwagon now
By game 15, this team should be getting better. It isn't.
He took a shot at KGs head while he was in the air. That's a flagrant.
I agree, I am now convinced that the nets are for real. I am more worried about the Nets in the playoffs than the Knicks. We don't have the size to match up with them. They have a good set of bigs.
They are just better than us right now. It is a long season and time to right the ship, but we are looking at 8-7 while being the 4th best team in our division. Not how I saw us starting the season.
Refs have sucked tonight.
I know we're usually not allowed to say that when the Celts play bad though
I agree. The ref have sucked, but unfortunately, so has the home team.

This is exactly why i don't respect the NBA at all and the NFL will always be better. Never in an NFL game are you worried about the refs taking over the game. Still, its not all on the refs. We played like hot trash tonight.
As sad as it is this has happened before. For example, the last time they played the Nets I think Keith Bogans didn't get called for a flagrant to Barbosa yet Rondo did for something similar to Wade.He took a shot at KGs head while he was in the air. That's a flagrant.
Clearly you haven't read the NBA official rule book.
Page 257, Paragraph 3 and 4:
"If a player is fouled with uneccessary force or in a way which is considered dangerous, the foul will be called a flagrant, except when the player who is fouled is a member of the Boston Celtics.
Boston Celtics players do not qualify for flagrant fouls. If a Boston Celtics player is fouled in a way which is deemed flagrant, he will be charged with a technical foul or ejected, subject to the mood of the official at the time of the call."
True story
The Nets made 9 more 3s than the C's. We're getting killed from deep.dat was da main difference to me 3 point defense nd rebounding been poor all season we gotta close out nd run teams off betta
@ESPNForsberg
Doc Rivers comes out swinging … at his own team. Calls his squad “soft” and says Rondo dust-up wasn’t right form of toughness.
