By the time Leon Powe's healthy, he likely wouldn't even be able to crack our rotation.  Baby will be back by then, and he'll have a tough enough time finding minutes let alone Powe.

Are we arguing that Leon Powe is a better player than Rasheed Wallace?

If this was real life, and this question was asked, everyone would have looked around at the rest of the group, laughed, and then changed the topic. And the guy who made the original point would be blushing.
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

This is just silly, how quick are you to forget when sheed racks 4 three's in a game, what we won so it didnt count. we are a very good 3 pt. shooting team, you life by the 3 you die by the 3. we went 1-15 last night, and didnt rebound, you cant shoot 3 like that and not box out and have your guards not show up for the long rebound either.

Yes we got our ass beat on the rebounds, Doc is right, they are a more authletic team, we did not body up and we did not get physical, with the exception of Perk. The Hawks live and die by second and third chance points, much like the Suns live a die by 115 point games. When we dont play OUR game and let our opponents run thier game, we will not win, end of story.

Celtics hang in their the first half of the game and crush the third quarter and roll into taking advantage of tired offense in the fourth. We did not do that, we did not take control in the third. granted every time we started to gain some momentum a timely foul was called (Im not saying it was refs fault). 16 points in the 4th, that only eight shots, that just doesn't cut it against a playoff cal. team.

We also did a poor job controlling the tempo of the game.

We are 8-2, stop freaking out, rid the panic, and have some trust in your team! The season is young and it was a competitive game, we have not been blown out yet, unlike the lakers, caves, suns, and the magic. Both games we lost were single digits, which means we were never out of the game.


Good post.

Yeah, I'm sure if Leon were here - and if we had Delonte and Gerald Green - we would have won that game ...
Coined the CelticsBlog term, "Euromistake."

Leon Powe has been replaced by Shelden and he's been doing fine. Plus Shelden can actually shoot free throws.
