Pistons (28-29) at Celtics (47-13) 3/1

[Fan from VT]

KG needs to get back in the lineup.

yup. hard to expect ot win every game when you're missing your best player.


 that said, a lot of people played terribly today. Powe needs more time with KG out, he's incredibly more efficient on offense and rebounding than any other big we have.

LEARN HOW TO PLAY DEFENSE LOSERS.

The Losers play Phoenix next.

If rondo doesnt play like an all star.....we suck

[crownsy]

lets see...gave up a run at the end of the second, third and fourth....no killer instict at all....we all need to stop worrying about catching the cavs...it won't happen and i think doc realizes this....but no excuses...they stink right now and it is only going to get worse...

you have inside info on KG's knee being worse than reported then?

[celticinorlando]

i just don't like the signs this team is showing with or without KG. they are struggling putting teams away and in the playoff that will kill boston...as of right now they would get detroit in round one....the magic in round 2 and then the cavs....that is a tough road to run

[twinbree]

With KG out I think they may need to work more on their offense. Because the defense is clearly slipping and they have to make up for it somewhere. Getting stops and not being able to score has been a recurring problem in the past couple of games.

no worse this week when they have to play both the cavs and magic without KG.

we were destroying teams with KG before Utah, and were on a nice streak but i mean, don't let facts get in the way of a good "the end is near!!! repent!!!" rant.

Hmmm...Disagree....Powe isnt efficient on offense and doesnt know how to shoot or pass the ball

PP can't play 48 minutes a game. Too much. The Celtics are tired.

ye aid feel alot more comfortable with that if leon would pass out of the low post when the double comes.

[celticinorlando]

i am going by the last 3 games vs teams they should beat.....they stopped running and the tempo was slow and it has cost them

[MattD]

ball game....no way this team gets out of the east...can't even win at home anymore....

****.

im sure the DPOY being out right now vs. him being back has nothing to do with changing that outcome.

Not to mention trying to integrate two new players.  If we can get everyone back reasonably healthy and get the new guys playing Celtics ball by the time the playoffs begin...well, I'll take my chances with that.  HCA would be nice, but I think this team learned a lot about what it takes to win on the road in the playoffs last year.  The refs will be a concern, but we've already seen that even at home there are no guarantees there.

can we not pp at all against the nets just to give him rest
