Celtics (50-17) at Bulls (30-37) 3/17

Good performance by everybody on the active roster tonight. Just wasn't meant to be. Our first quarter did not help.

Bulls are a bunch of bums. Enjoy it now, girls.

you can tell allen and pierce are tired...it takes them a long time to get going and late in games they settle for jumpers that miss because of tired legs. i don't buy the argument that they can win several games on the road in the playoffs. these are games they should still win....clippers, bucks, bulls, heck even the heat...you know why they lost? ....give up big spurts and let teams have life.

chicago is good all of the sudden? come on...what is your excuse for the clippers? or the bucks? boston had this game and blew it. i am telling you they won't survive having to go to orlando and then to cleveland...they need to be the 2 seed

Those are different losses, the Bucks were bad shot selection and no offense (look at the final score) Clippers we were sleeping and those two are ones you can complain about.

tonight's game.... if you complaining your just a negative nancy.

The Celtics had their chance to win this game.



But this is not the team that will be on the court in the playoffs.

by then it might be too late....going through detroit, orlando and cleveland is a tough road to go....

Yes...we get your point
celtics=injured
they played valiantly and lost...great...imo they should still beat teams like the bucks and bulls, at the very least 1/2..they still got 4/5 starters, 2 future hof's lacing up bro

Pierce was so tired tonight he had 37 points, including I believe 26 in the second half.

you know why they lost? we have one power forward and he's been on the team for 2 weeks and takes dumb fouls. (but had a pretty good performance on the boards)

Detroit with AI is not a good team.

Orlando does not match up well against a healthy Celtics.  

And, there is a chance if the Celtics are the 2nd seed, they will still have to face Detroit.

But here is what I do not get. How can you expect them to win against anyone when they have two guys over 6-7 and one of them has only been on the roster for three weeks? How do you expect them to win when all of their best defensive players, including one of the best in the league, are hurt? How do you expect them to win when they have no power forwards at all? That is why I am confused.

Pierce, Ray, Rondo and Perk.  


They still have talent out there.  They were in position to win tonight.



injuries stink and kill a team.  


But they still need to win the games that are there for them to win at the end.

Bulls are 21-11 at home, not exactly pushovers. Get them on the road however....

Because they have a borderline all star in rondo, 2 all stars and future hall of famers, 4 out of their 5 starters, the bulls and bucks have a combined 0 all stars and their own injuries (redd/ bogut...deng..??)

they should win both and definetly 1/2 of those games..they didnt...thats fine, they did play valiantly but havent been able to pull games out alot this season

they built a double digit lead WITHOUT MOORE AND POWE....they got burned because they were not getting back on defense allowing the bulls to hit 3's and get to the rim. that has nothing to do with size it has to do with hustle....boston had a chance to push it to 14 but pierce took a jumper it missed and the bulls hit a 3 in transition....5 point swing on that...john salmons shouldn't habe 37 on aNY team in the nba let alone boston
