Maybe I'm panicking prematurely, or expecting too much out of this team, but these Celtics are driving me bananas. They're constantly getting off to slow starts, putting themselves in big holes early, failing to make necessary in-game adjustments, not moving the ball enough on offense, and just generally looking poor at this point. How can Rondo (or any paid, professional basketball player) be such a poor free-throw shooter? How come the Celts aren't dominating the boards? Why does Doc insist on having Eddie play point on offense? Arrrrrrhhh!

I Agree i'm going crazy off watching this poorest team.

You heard it here first.

This team does not have what it takes.

Ray Allen's career is over.  He'll be a nice 6th or 7th man going forward, but his days as a front line player are over.  Pierce isn't far behind.

Deny it all you  want. Ive seen enough.  It's time to rebuild.

Can you give me the SuperBowl, BCS, NBA and NCAA winner right now so I can place my bets? Oh and some stock tips.

Its nice to know that Ray's career is "over", oh wait you then immediately say he's a nice player still.

Way to over react to one loss.

I don't follow those other sports.  But in the NBA, Boston won't get out of the EC.  The window is CLOSED.  It's 1988 all over again.

Overreacting to one loss?  How about 4 losses and at least 3 wins that would have been losses against good teams.

EC champion will be either Orlando or Atlanta.  Place your bets.

Big Baby will be a big help, he can really help when the second unit is missing on the three's.

Well, against the top three playoff-bound teams in the East (ATL, ORL, and CLE), we are 1-2....

I would say not an emergency yet.

And the CLE team we beat wasn't at full strength (Delonte and Powe did not play).

Atlanta is not an elite team. They're not getting out of the East.

Orlando and Boston are the two best teams in the East. They're the frontrunners with Cleveland a bit behind them.

Our ONLY saving grace here is that this is November.....if this stuff happens in March or Apr then it is a cause for concern.

And even though Vince hit for 26 pts, he took 29 shots..

Blah blah blah balah.  The Celtics aren't winning this year.  Period.  The best teams in the EC are Orlando and Altanta.  Boston and Cleveland are nowhere.  Neither team will make it out of the 2nd round.

On the bright side, we can figure out what's wrong with the team now and work it out before the playoffs.
