Ugh Eddie was just wide open.
"Take this down," said O'Neal. "My name is Shaquille O'Neal and Paul Pierce is the (expletive) truth. Quote me on that and don't take nothing out. I knew he could play, but I didn't know he could play like this. Paul Pierce is the truth."

Pretty awful first quarter, maybe the Celtics will feel like winning and start playing some D in the second quarter.

Eddie is playing much better defense than Rondo so far.  He knows his limitations and is just containing Alston.  Rondo did not have one solid defensive possession in that whole quarter.

We have taken their first punch, now we need to counter punch in the 2nd.
Time to string together some stops on defense.

Eddie still isn't getting open.

Put Marbury in at PG instead of Eddie so we don't have to have Pierce running the offense...

Not a bad five to end the quarter. Maybe you give Marbury a look and move House to the two - if we get any backcourt defense out of that group.


Coined the CelticsBlog term, "Euromistake."

It's simple play defense attack the basket and the Celtics win, get caught up in shooting threes and relaxing on the perimeter on D and lose.

I know it hasn't looked good, but I like pierce and Allen's demeanor.  They are hear to play.  I like the Lineup to end the quarter.

They playing with no energy and heart. We need to pick it up because I don't want see them playing from behind the whole time. Ray Allen needs to get open and knock down those shots. Paul Pierce needs to keep driving it to the basket. Rondo has to make better judgment and character because right now he isn't doing that. Big Baby got to get it going and our bench need to show up.

Also defense has to come with that intensity! I can't watch this if they keep letting Howard be open and give them open threes.
