Celtics (0-1) at Heat (1-0) 12/27

Am I missing something?

Isn't it just an 11 point game?

This isn't a blowout and it will probably just be loss number 2 of about 22 or so.

I still say when we have Pierce back and the team gels some with the new bench players that we are an easy 3 seed in the East. I just don't see any other teams but Miami and Chicago being any better than the C's in the East.

11 points will soon go to 15 plus...like it did in the first half...boston cannot keep up with miami...i don't think boston is as good as you think they are..or as bad as I do...i say 5 or 6 seed

[Fafnir]

The transition defense is the most alarming part for me.

[Drucci]

I must admit KG is looking really bad. Terrible D, bricks on offense... I don't think he is cooked though but terribly rusty.

[Spicoli]

KG and O'neal both look absolutely cooked. Neither can do anything on either end. Not a good sign.

[GrandTheftRondo]

Rondo for three.

Imagine that.

No really; imagine that for a while. See it.

I'm really proud of this guy. He has stepped his game up tremendously.

Ths is classic doc rivers..hiding under the bench saying.."fix it kg"   i got no ideas....ever wonder if young guys could cover wade or lebron...well, of course they could get there quicker, jump faster, learn and recover faster..this is what i hate about doc....he can draw up a play...but he will never play or try anything new.....sign new people....why....just pay 7 guys...that is all doc will play anyway....!

Would it be possible to develop 2 game threads:
1 for those who are excited to be watching the C's and who can accept a tough night without calling for a blow-up or declaring the season over.

The other thread can be for those who have already given up on the season and just like to state and restate their  negative predictions. You may be correct, but I am already tired of hearing it.

This idea was floated by PLamb/Nick...but was shot down. I'm with you though..2 GTs would be nice.

I hate segregation.

He's definitely been the high point this season.  Chris Paul who?

[Kiorrik]

Let's hope it stays that way, this would be awesome.

I must admit KG is looking really bad. Terrible D, bricks on offense... I don't think he is cooked though but terribly rusty.

I do feel that this team is no where near in game shape as they should be, with Rondo even bent at the waist, but that's due to the fact he's carried this team yet again.

But even once they get their legs, they can't keep up with the new class of superstars. Rondo is on an island.

Have you noticed how 10 players have checked into the game tonight?

[Change]

who is protecting the rim? we need an intimidator inside, maybe Thunder can trade us Kendrick PErkins

[Meadowlark_Scal]

doc ain't no bill belechick..!

[celticinorlando]

wow...KG and jermaine look finished out there...rust or whatever...they look bad...long season ahead in a short time frame concerns me...esp with guys that weren't looked at as being injury cases (wilcox, pietrus) out hurt
