No matter how you look at it this Celtics team has a bunch of heart. Sure other teams have had injuries but not all at the same time. We were playing with 8 guys included two former D-Leaguers (Walker and Giddens, albeit good D-Leaguers). I don't care about the results or the struggles, how many teams would be over .500 with all the injuries troubles we have faced in the last couple weeks (Not to mention that we are getting everyone's best shot because we still are the NBA champions). Take away Kobe and Odom at the same time from the Lakers and they would be awful, Take away Lebron and Ilgauskus and they would we terrible.

I am so proud of this team no matter where we finish in the Eastern Conference and know they can beat anyone anywhere after seeing them fight through the adversity they have had to fight through. Keep it up Celtics.

GO GREEN!

Great point, this team plays hard every night, sure they may come out flat and can't buy a hoop, but they are still trying, anyone can tell that. When your a celtic you just have to play hard and with heart because your a celtic, its just the way it is

Exactly. I can't remember a time when someone on this team wasn't trying. They may not be playing well but they sure as hell are trying. Think: Mikki Moore. Sure he has struggle but he is always giving 110%. I can't get on a guy for trying to fight through a screen and getting called for a ticky-tack foul.

Its been a long time since we've seen anyone on the C's visibly lazy.  It's a great thing.  It makes teams like Golden State and the Clippers seem even more pathetic because they just don't compete.

I agree with you.  The Celtics offense is not flowing freely, the defense are having some long lapses, the turnovers are killing us and the second unit aren't in rhythm.  These are the things that needs to be worked out before we get to the playoffs.  However, one thing we already got is the intensity.  We got that intensity and once playoffs get here, I think our level of intensity will be raised even higher so that's a good one, two notch above our opponent.  So even if we're not playing well, I think the intensity will prevail (however, intensity alone will not be enough to beat Cavs and Lakers).

PS. Out of topic, but when does the playoffs start?  My girlfriend is coming from Guatemala during the week of April 5-13 and I hope that playoffs are not then, or I'll get my ass kicked by watching a game instead of hanging out with my girlie girl (who lives in Guate and I will only see one more time this year).
Baby Jesus!
