The Sky is Falling or has already Fallen?

Its true..

[indeedproceed]

We're still 2 games out of first with 9 games left..while Chicago's 9 game schedule is hardly composed of the toughest available opponents, two bad games from them and 2 good games from us and we got a stew goin, baby!

How long will CHI be able to sustain this run? They lost to Philly tonight...maybe they'll be fatigued by the time the playoffs begin. Rose is going all out in every game...it might catch up with him. 9 more games to go..I'm just looking forward to the playoffs now.

I'd just like to add that :

The majority of the Celtics losses this season are

a) Against bad teams (Wizards, Cavs, Pistons, Bobcats, to name a few)

b) On back to backs.

This one against Indy is a combination of both.

Why again is anyone really surprised?

The Celtics rarely put in much effort against poor teams like this, if you don't know this trend already you clearly haven't been watching the Celtics these past few years.

Their game against the Spurs this week will speak a lot more about what's happening, WAYYYYY too early to hit the panic button (wait for a playoff loss or two before you start doing that).

The only year that matters is the year they won. And that years team put the effort into every game.

These other Celtic teams that haven't put the effort into poor teams hasn't done anything but lose in the playoffs.

I'll take the winner please.

They were 3 years younger and that was before KG's season ending injury which greatly shook his confidence.

I'd like to turn back time as well, but what's the point of wishing for what could have been?

Then why play hard for most of the year only to back off at the end when HCA is soooo close? Why not just half A it for the regular season and just get into the playoffs in the weak east as the 5-6 seed?

I don't buy it. I don't buy that a guy like KG would ever hold back.  This team has problems right now.

Did we hit the bottom of the barrel?
Or did we drill a hole at the bottom and got even lower?
