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

[ManUp]

Doc isn't one to complain about the refs.

I hope the league does look at the tape.

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

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.

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..??)

Hlow many of all those are bigs though. It is tough to win without alot of height, I don't care who is on the team.

Doc just took apart the ref who tossed him in the post-game press conference, said he baited him and kept staring him down in the time-out.

He was as hot as I've seen Glenn. Fortunately Dickerson switched the conversation to asking him how proud he was of his team battlin' hard, etc.

More to come on this one...

Oh yea? Are Ray Paul and Rondo All-Star Centers/Stong Forwards? How are they supposed to out-rebound a 7 foot center?

moral victories are good enough i guess.....

Yeah, the trade that brought brad miller to chicago helped them tonight, because other then that the Chicagos bigs are amongst the worst in the league, and brad miller isnt as good as he played tonight
Bigs or not, what is the excuse for John salmons tieing a career high in pts?

That's a game plan problem.   Perk should have been in there.


They got the stop, but forgot to have a rebounder in there.

half of rebounding hustle....miller got 2 put backs because there was nobody in the area code around him....the game was lost when boston choked it away to close the third....

I give up tonight. Maybe if the Celts were playing in a 6-7 and under league I would agree that they should be winning these games. However, my basketball knowledge says if you are playing with either one or no power forwards, then it is tough to win on the other guys' court.

i agree, but Perk played 34 minutes tonight, Doc said he was dog tired and had to take him out.

[celticinorlando]

i would take rondo, allen, eddie, pierce and perk over a lot of line ups other teams through at you.....boston hasn't played much defense since denver...other than the cavs game

Then why did they have a chance to win at the end of the game?


Yeah, it's harder.

Kind of rough when they just need him for one stop.  24 seconds.

These Bulls are 21-11 at home, not exactly chopped liver...
