I never want to see Rondo try to help Big Baby up again.  It'll void his health insurance.

We're actually lucky to be only trailing by 11. It seems like a 20 point blow out right now.
PHX Suns: Russell Westbrook, Chris Bosh, Tristan Thompson, Trevor Ariza, Tony Allen, Trey Lyles, Corey Brewer, Larry Nance Jr., Trey Burke, Troy Daniels, Joffrey Lauvergne, Justin Holiday, Mike Muscala, 14.6

Starting to feel like one of those nights that Doc is going to get the boot.  He's all over the refs.

Honestly, maybe thats what this team's needs right now...they're getting wiped all over the floor right now.  

Right now it seems to be the biggest difference in in this game is us having no ability to hit a 3 and also no ability to defend the 3 point line.  Cause from what I've seen, we've locked down defensely, and our offense isn't doing too bad.  It's all revolving around the 3 point arc right now.  Can't hit it and can't defend it.

Sorry.

This is hard to swallow right now, forgive me.

Truly.  This is difficult to watch.  I can't believe the entire team is so detached.

Who goes back to the bench first, Eddie or Gabe?

Doc your a freakin idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doc is a stubborn, stubborn, man. Which is to say, he's an idiot in that he can't adjust when circumstances change.

He buried Big Al on the bench, he buried Gomes on the bench, he buried Rondo on the bench, and now he's going to go to the wall with Eddie House when every team in the NBA has figured out all you need to do is run out at him.

Also, has anybody on this team taken a charge since Posey left? Powe once or twice? Other than that? Didn't think so.

Disagree with our Cavs friend that Wallace can effectively defend KG, however I do agree that their bench is better.

Let's go Celtics.
I thought Big Ben did an admirable job on KG in the playoffs last season. I was surprised by that because in the past he's really struggled with Garnett's length, superior athleticism and shooting touch over the top.

Did Perk forget how to do the up and under move? I have not seen it since early December.

Down 9, but seriously outplayed. Maybe they can man up in the second half, unless Doc decides to play house for 10-15 minutes. Cleveland right now is a far better team than Boston -- and they are playing without Z!

Van Gundy and Jackson just said LeBron is better than Bird. According to them LeBron is the best sf of all time.

What is going on? Are the Celtics in Bizarro world? Why are they playing like the trades last year never happened, why are they looking ineffective in games they should be in? Someone, please wake up the Celtics!!!

Until he wins a championship, Bird is the best.
