Don't you think they may have a point?

No.  Marbury/Eddie is an excellent 2nd unit guard combo.  Give it time.

I've liked their offensive chemistry since the very beginning. I believe that versus certain teams, it'll be an absolute and unmitigated disaster, defensively and rebounding wise.

yall remember Wade as a rookie?  He was good during the regular season... but once he got to the playoffs everyone started going "wow"...

Nice to finally meet you, Rose.

Rose is ridiculously good for a rookie. Going to be a top 3 point guard in the league in 3 years.

yeah..seemed like boston went away for going inside and just started jacking up jumpers which led to transition baskets

no problem with the second unit...problem is transition defense and the 2 best players can't make a basket....

exactly, transition defense is DESTROYING us. our best scorer right now is Rondo, and when he blows by Rose the bulls backcourt just turns for the break.

more of David Sterns magic at work here.  Two afternoon games in the playoffs? Thats a slap in the face to this Celtics team if you ask me.  This is the playoffs we are the defending champs in one of the biggest markets in the country and were playing afternoon games.  No respect.  NBA is a business more than it is a sport and this is just another way Stern is making sure Boston stays away from those finals.  The finals is reserved for LeBron and Kobe this year I pity those who think it is not.
The NBA..where "this whole sport is a business and the referees decide games and David Stern is a snake and is only in this for the money" happens.
