So let me get this straight Nurse Rivers...Eddie House outplayed Sam Cassell last season and was benched in critical games. He has played like absolute CRAP this year and has gotten way too much crunch time minutes. It makes NO SENSE.

The NBA - where amazing happens. A 27-2 record transforming into a 29-9 record in a matter of a week. Truly is amazing..  >:(

We look terrible out there. Absolutely terrible.

I am glad I expected nothing less based on the way we've been playing.

Exactly like I expected it to go.

The NBA -- where the defending champion playing like they don't belong in the playoffs happens.

So to answer my own question about how the celtics offense is letting the team down:

The C's need to get to the line more often, and Pierce in particular. His game is getting the and 1, and if he's not doing that he's not nearly as good.

Ray Allen needs to make threes. Rondo needs to make layups. Garnett needs to get down in the post instead of taking those outside jumpers. Although KG can make that shot, to me, that's more of a 2nd option instead of something the celtics should consistently look for.

Perkins has been playing good offense, so that rounds out the starters.

For the bench, Eddie needs to stop taking so many stupid, contested shots. He's a spot up 3 point shooter, and he should realize that's his role. Baby.. well, Big Baby just sucks. He sucked last year, and idk why people thought he was anywhere near as good as Powe. Next up, I'd just like to thank god that TA is injured and can't play. He's just like Big Baby... not a good player.

Basically, Powe is the one player off the bench that's been playing good offense. Oh, and Scal has been decent on both ends of the floor, but I never expect much from him anyway.

Scalabrine, that Finals presser can only do so much.

You are useless and don't belong on this team. Get off the court and wave a towel!

are we really this bad??? is our window already closed?? that projected 3 years window looks like it's closing quick. this can't be it. i hate to say this, but we remind me of detroit when we played them last year. no fight...no heart...terrible play.

we're just tired...we need rest. we just need the all star weekend...God no...

Is Varejao on the All-Star ballot cause we're making him look really good.  >:(

I was going to make a joke before the 4th that we needed to put our secret weapon Scal in but Doc actually did it. What is it going to take to get Pierce to get to the line, he just got mugged and got nothing.
