Celtics (23-6) at Warriors (8-21) 12/28

Ray Allen played 44 minutes off a back to back, Doc shouldn't be doing this if he wants a fresh team for the playoffs.

Well at least we got 2 victories out of it.

the brass continue to say they dont need to make a move but they nned to move scal and get help off the bench..esp with Q  hurt for some time

It's December, this will happen again, and other times it won't.

So I think it is safe to say the Pierce is definitely the best and most important player on this team. I remember having a little debate about it earlier in the season and it was mixed with Pierce, KG, and Rondo. There is absolutely no way we lose these games if Pierce were playing. Even if KG and Rondo were both out, he would have willed the team to victories.

On a side note don't  understand why some people get so stat happy about Rondo too. Without looking it up it seems to me that the more Rondo scores the worse we do.

Well i am mostly a positive guy but i mean we really shouldn't be losing to the Clips and the Warriors i mean come on guys. I really think this team needs someone like J.R. Smith Or NATE THE GREAT lol to come off this bench and be a real thorn in other teams sides.

[vinnie]

And this team doesn't need a backup point guard, right?

[celticinorlando]

looking at a 1-3 road trip unless they really dig out of this..shouldnt lose to the warriors and clippers....

Geesh, some of you guys, I won't name names, are just a bundle of fun to watch games with.

You know what? I hate unwarranted positivity.

All the negativity wouldn´t be so excessive if some people could simply acknowledge when the team stinks.

I mean, if the C´s would lead by 15, you wouldn´t have to read so much negativity.

Like I said, I'm far from a "rah rah" positivity guy. It grates on my senses, to be honest.

And I've been as critical as most regarding the C's. Their effort in the second quarter was abysmal. Their constant three point shooting strategy, awful. Their perimeter defense bad. And these are just criticisms from this thread.

But the constant barrage of over the top negativity and doomsday comments in every single post coming from some is just awful to have to read through. It's depressing and really ruins the enjoyment of the thread. Heck if I wanted to be down I would simply go look at my company's accounts receivable over the last 6 weeks.

I know, nick (see my post above), you´re not positive for the sake of being positive. I also don´t like some of the over-the-top negativity.

As I said, as much as I like someone who can stand up for a controversial point of view, I think the game threads are one of the worst places to do so.

TP and thank You!

[ToppersBsktball10]

I don't see the 'all-star' fascination with Ellis. He's a star, yeah. He's not a point guard, he puts up inflated numbers with a bad team(they have potential), and only averages 5 assists per game. True, when he's on he's sick (like tonight) but not an all star.

I'd think we'd lose with Pierce healthy and no Rondo.

Well m8, some of the time it looks like the positive people are the ones that are controversial.

orlando win is pretty much worthless at this point...given it all back. confised why they continue to play zero defense against really bad teams..bench is a mess...they have little off it

The C's did lose to the god awful 76ers at home with Paul Pierce playing so there are most issues going on right now with this team

Nate Robinson sucks. No thanks. Maybe if we wanted to sell tickets. J.R. Smith is sick, but there's no way we can get him.
