Wow, this team is BAD at defense.  Hard to believe anybody ever thought they'd be any good.  Hard to believe that they actually were kind of good for the first part of the season.
We were top 10 in defensive efficiency not too long ago. I think we're still in the top 15. I didn't understand how really, I think we'll drop. But I doubt we'll ever be truly terrible.

Kelly Olynyk is awful right now. Can't guard anyone.

Beaten like we stole something lol

I always said when I left the Celtics, I could not go to heaven, because that would
 be a step down. I am pure 100 percent Celtic. I think if you slashed my wrists, my
 blood would’ve been green.  -  Bill "Greatest of All Time" Russell

Somewhere Danny is sipping on Cognac and smiling lol

So is Larbrd and JSD.

I'd rather sip LSD with Jarbrd, Canny and Dognac. This game is brutal.

Yeah, I know the team was actually pretty good to start the season.  I'm not sure how they did it.  But now they're looking about as bad as I expected they'd be.

That is one sad post-game Avery.

You mean over a sample of the last two games?

Well, I guess that proves it.

Games like this remind me of a game against the bulls in Chicago, in the 06-07 season I believe.  Idk what the final margin of defeat was, but with under a minute left, Mike Gorman said one of the best lines I've ever heard - "So it's down to this - playing for a Big Mac" hahaha, which occurred when the bulls reached 100 points.  People were chanting in the United Center with as much enthusiasm as when Scal would actually make a shot. 

Oh well, at least Vitor got some time and played pretty well imo, Bogans was fine, Bayless was ok, Bass was the only one who cared, but I think this game perfectly illustrates Jeff Green's Celtic (and probably his entire) Career - 11 points after 1, 17 for the game.  Wow.  I figured he might get 20-25 and then follow it up with an 8 point outing tomorrow night, but this is just pathetic.  Wallace has crashed (loved those free throws), Danny got ko'd on draft night  ::) (Olynyk has absolutely no agility.  People think Brooks is terrible, and Kelly looks like his feet are stuck in concrete when he tries to do, well, almost anything.  His game is in total slow motion, and not in a good way.), and Sullinger now has a reputation.  Great.  Is it just me, or does he look like he has serious anger problems (which, sadly, wouldn't surprise me after we all learned that he beat up his girlfriend)?

Wallace whining again

Gerald Wallace on #celtics: “Right now, we’re the team that’s all talk.”

Mark Murphy ‏@Murf56 19m
Wallace on Sullinger’s flagrants. “It’s good to see one of our bigs giving hard fouls. I’ll take that all day.”

Baxter Holmes ‏@BaxterHolmes 5m
G. Wallace said the Celtics don’t deserve to get calls from the refs right now. “We’re not playing worth a crap anyway.”

Mark Murphy ‏@Murf56 2m
Wallace: “We’ve done met, we’ve done talked, we’ve done everything – argued, fussed, complained, moaned, everything you can do.”
wish we could just buy him out, he is trying to ruin our tanking >:(

Come now, this can't be rock bottom.  Aren't you looking forward to another 18 game losing streak (sarcasm)?  Onto LA, and the rest of this murderous road trip!

I don't know how I feel about winning or losing games within and of itself, but shipping 129 points in regulation, in a blowout loss!
