This is my venting before going to bed after a game that I actually quietly sat through in my man cave by myself and had a lot of time to digest as it happened.

Why can't we all show up at the same time?

That is my biggest question from these playoffs so far. One moment Ray is on fire and then for games he gives us very little.  Pierce seems to want to ease into every game for some reason.  Rondo has not been the Rondo of the Bulls' series.  He's had moments, but then vanishes for key stretches.  Tonight he has Anthony Johnson abusing him for the entire first half after playing Rose to a standstill in the last series.  Where was Big Baby tonight?  Why did Perk play really well and then kill our momentum by committing a stupid foul?

This dosen't just apply to individual players, but to whole areas of our team's game as well.  Look at our team defense.  Before tonight, we had 6 straight quarters of solid team defense and then we give up 117 points by doing just about everything fundamentally wrong that we could do.  There was no communication, bad rotations, silly fouls (Scal had one too, not just Perk). 

I need a good night sleep.  I feel for my family when I'm like this.  >:(

Probably mental fatigue. We just did not have our good stuff last night. Hopefully, the Celtics will find their game Sunday night and forge a 2-2 tie.
