stupid loss, but not the end of the world.

but i think if danny just sits back and rides this out doing nothing to better this team, he's watching with his heart and not his head...

not the end of the world by my confidence heading into cleveland next week is very low....boston is showing they are struggling on the road against good teams...

This team, as constituted right now, is going nowhere this year. Lose to the Warriors who played without three starters, lose to the Blazers, who play without one of the best players in the league, and score under 90 points 3 out of four games. This bench is now officially awful. When will Danny wake up and realize this fact?

It's sad how not 1 person saw how Oden can't hit a foul shot if his life depended on it. Hack a oden and u would have been good down tht minute stretch. They instead foul rod, blake, fernandez.

It's hard to foul Oden when he's on the bench...

[xmuscularghandix]

all that i learned in this game is that, even though Perk can bring his A game against big time centers, what happens if they have another tall talented center off the bench? thats what we need our backup big for.

This is one of those games you must forget.
You can't blame Eddie for nothing, it was a bit early, but I think that was the play Doc made.

Why would Doc draw up a contested 26 footer for a 5'10 being guarded by a 7 footer? Makes no sense to me.

You are awfully naive if you think Ainge doesn't know this Vinnie.

If he can get an assist when he's on the "bench" in the second quarter, why the hell can't we foul him and make him shoot free throws?

well he should have been out there, he's their 6th man isn't he?

[tenn_smoothie]

don't blame eddie house because the celtics are asking him to be something he is not.

house needs solid players around him to be effective. if he is asked to create the offense for the 2nd team, he will struggle. that is not his game.

so what you will but the laker loss mentally zapped this team...could have gained a game on cleveland by once again ****ed away a big lead....

Then how did they win by 45 in Sac? The Celtics have played more games then any other team. I think they are tired, I don't think it has alot to do with what the Lakers did. This team has won a championship I don't think that they are going to lose it because of one loss to the Lakers.  

Well, Celtics lost another game. Let the overreaction to a bad stretch commence!

Does anyone else want Eddie House out of town as bad as I do. He shoots like 95% in garbage time and like 20% when games actually matter.

I'd settle for swapping his spot in the rotation with Pruitt's.

House or TA.  

Either one works.

Yeah, I'm sure Danny realizes this.  The questions are: 1) why didn't he know this in the off-season, and 2) what is he going to do about it?

[celticinorlando]

well...unless the bench does get resolved the are going to be looking hard at a #2 seed....cleveland is going to make a move to get even better. next friday becomes the biggest game of the season for boston and cleveland is going to be crazy...i live in cavs country and they are already hyping it.....must win for boston

[crownsy]

**** no kidding brick.

Our horrid mistakes aside (we blew this game), im going to be REAL intersted in the NBA's spin on this 6 man basket tommrow.

If the basket is disallowed and we get the tech (what should have happened) then when pierce pulled us withing one with 50 seconds left, we should have been up 2, not down 1. that changes the whole game with a minute left.
