wow, week seems to be catching up with us at the end here, lot of guys bent over sucking wind who are normally pretty ready to go right now.

Kg, pierce and rondo are all doing it.

No rest finally catching us at the end of hell week you think?

[thecaptain34]

why has rondo gotten worse?

[CoachBo]

Horrid, horrid play from the bench. Terrible decisions with the basketball, no defense, no rebounding, stupid fouls.

Good Lord, sit them all down, Doc.

the celtics all of a sudden stink

Yeah.  That's one of the reasons I *hate* putting four bench players on the court at the same time.  Players play better when they're surrounded by elite talent.

Yeah, they look utterly tired and winded.  Bring in Gabe Pruitt!

[CoachBo]

Yup, Roy. Too many unintelligent players on the floor at the same time.

[Roy Hobbs]

why has rondo gotten worse?

It sure looks that way, huh?

[Cman]

Perkins with a nice bank shot!

[CoachBo]

Immediately the game stabilizes when the bench sits down.

(shakes head)

picking it up now, im seriously thinking fatigue is a factor.

lucky to only be down 6 with how bad we played that stretch.

[Cman]

Balkman looks good -- nice defensive player with some offensive skills.  What did the Nuggets trade to NY to get him?

[CoachBo]

Jackson and Van G have it right: We are not as talented and deep as we were last year.

[vjcsmoke]

What is up with the 2nd quarter meltdown?  Did they really manage to score only 7 pts??  Is the Nuggets defense that good?

[housecall]

They use to many bench players at the same time.I notice it in previous games.
