Amare just stood there and didn't even try to get through those Powe screens. I'd be p---ed if we got that kind of effort out of one of our stars.

This looks like what Cleveland did to us.
We were still playing hard at least. The Suns aren't getting any of the lose balls and keep giving up lazy boards to us.

Seriously Amare has to be one of the worst rebounding PFs in the league.

Amare is basically a more Athletic Pau Gasol, but with out the passing.

If BBD could hit that jumper consistantly like he's doing tonight, he'd be a nice second unit scoring option. Love how he's playing tonight.

Are the Phoenix Suns this bad on the back side of back to backs or are the Celtics that good and have they finally turned the corner and returned to the team they were before hitting the mid season wall.


Personally, I think the C's are that good and that the C's are about to go on an unbelievable roll. Watch for the C's to go 20 of the next 22 or so.

And the reason is Rajon Rondo. As he comes into his own and he starts to realize that he can dominate the man he is against and suddenly, as the season goes on, turns the Celtics more into the Fantastic Four instead of the Big Three, the Celtics will begin once more to dominate this league.

Once LA and Cleveland have to come here soon and Boston blows them out here, nationally the Celtics will get their due.

If Rondo dominates Nelson on Thursday, I think the coaches will have to put him in the all-star game. At least I wish they would.  ;)

I just hope they don't let up in the 3rd like they did against the Nets.

Our bench has looked really good without Tony.

The longer he is gone the less he is missed.

Hope we maintain this so we can a garbage time 4th.

I love the way Nelson stuck it to LAkers on Friday.  I do expect it will be a different ballgame against Rondo however.

Hmmm...this one seems awfully similar to the last time an Arizona team played here...

Youuuuuuuuuuuuur NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals

seriously, this one's just as bad a thrashing.

Awesome effort by the C's

I haven't seen this sort of sustained effort since the Lakers Series...seriously
Yup

i dont think this is an over-reaction, this is a game that was supposed to give them trouble. blowing them out like this could send the C's on a huge confidence streak.

you would think other teams would do some scouting and realize the rondo-->kg alley-oop is coming. doesn't seem hard to prepare for a play a team runs practically 5 times a game. yes, it doesn't come out of a set but still...
