Rockets (21-15) at Celtics (29-7) 1/7

Can we please get over this Doc being a good coach thing. Last year was a result of great players. He has been AWFUL this year.

Leaving Pruitt, House, Davis in until halfway through the 4th. God awful.

uhh except that davis and pruitt had great games, sure.

house your right on though.

Yes but Pierce wasn't in there because of Pruitt and Davis was too short to cover Yao. They played great but kept our better players out of the game. Awful coaching.

eddie house's 2 bricks from three when boston could extend the lead was big....

What in the world is going on? I can vaguely remember a 19 game winning streak not too long ago. Physically and mentally fatigues is all I can come up with. This has gotten way out of hand.  

It is simple. Horrible offense, horrible one-on-one defense in which our guards can guard no one, and horrendous coaching. Doc leaving Eddie in to run the team in the fourth quarter tonight is mind-boggling. Plus, add the fact that neither Ray nor Eddie can hit an outside shot anymore and you have a recipe for disaster. It is starting to look like the old days, where unless Pierce scores at least 30, this team has no chance to win. Sickening.

This has to be fatigue.  They had no soul in the 4th Q and it was like they had NO legs in their jumpshots.  Bad game.  Bench is looking better now.  The starters don't have it.  We have no length.  And Doc's subs are again suspect.

[Chief]

This was not my Christmas wish. Santa you got me mixed up with an Oklahoma City fan.

[vinnie]

They lost to the Rockets with Luis Scola scoring ZERO points. It is impossible to describe how awful this team is tonight. On the C's side, Perkins was AWFUL. Zero points on 0-1 shooting.

Yes, but what is leading this to happen we know they can play better. We've seen it.

[vinnie]

Rondo -- 5 points and 5 assists!

[butterbeanlove]

I'm speechless.

That jackass ref who Ron Artest felt up twice didn't help, but wow.

Well, I guess I'll just have to take up beekeeping because I'm not going to survive this season at this rate.

Call up Bill Walker. We need a spark. I'm not going to argue this point.

[celticinorlando]

this team is lost...i don't even know if they will win another game anytime soon...and yeah i really think that....just win the atlantic and get into the playoffs at this point...but they are turning into an average team that is nothing more than going through the motion

Gotta do something, Call up someone, sign someone, trade for someone. By the way, Rondo had ONE assist in the last three quarters of the game. Friday night is going to be really ugly even without Z. Cleveland only beat Charlotte by 30 tonight -- heh.

why does pruitt, who was playing SG/PG all night, have anything to do with Paul, a SF?

if you absolutely must somehow transfer blame to gabe for rotations, thats doc again for insisting eddie play the point.

Pruitt-ray-pierce > eddie-pruitt-ray.

[Andrew Celtic Nation]

This team is losing it down the stretch of games plain and simple. We need a killer instinct that will only come with a big road win. Hopefully Friday.

[Celtic_E]

This sucks. The C's now lost 5 of the last 7. Panic time is now officially in the air. Last year when the team lost 3 of 4, I didn't panic because I knew the team would pull thru. This year, sadly, I'm not too sure. We need a shot in the arm. Bad.

[celticinorlando]

face the 19 game streak most likely is the highlight of the season...they have fallen in quicksand and everything has gone down the tubes....the lakers game is what we can all point to as the beginning of the end for this team
