Celtics (23-7) at Suns (20-12) 12/30

[scoop]

I don't mind the blowout but I can't watch the game anymore because Doc has put Rondo back in the game when it's obvious he is in PAIN, and he keeps Ray and Sheed in the game. What is he trying to do?!

Win a basketball game. It's his freaking job. Everybody has already got your point. If they don't make a run early in the 4th, there'll be plenty of garbage time to watch the scrubs, so quit the drama.

Do you really think you increase your chances of winning this game by overplaying the starters when they let Frye shoot wide open 3's all night long?

No, you just increase your chances of injuring your key players and thus losing more games during the season. Not a good strategy.

Nobody has been overplayed so far and only Ray will in the case if they make a huge run in the next minutes. Rondo play 26 minutes in 3 quarters.

Answering your question: Yes. I'm sure it's the only way of winning the game is playing the remaining starters, especially for a team decimated with injuries.

You were asking Doc to play 3 quarters of garbage time. That's just nonsensical. It'd kill the spirit of the team and be disrespectful to the Suns, the league, the fans and the game.

sorry if someone has already asked this tonight, but how is brian scalabrine in the nba?

Reggie. I have asked this all year. There is absolutely no reason that this stiff should be on this basketball team. He plain and simple STINKS.

[Change]

Sheldon Williams is worthless. Scal won't make middle school basketball team.

Eddie is out of that slump...who said slump...!

Don't give up yet guys the C's are just a 20-0 run from taking over this game!  They might even reach 100 points against one of the worst defensive teams in the league.

Nice to see the perimeter defense is sharp tonight, allowing Channing Frye to shoot without resistance.

Don't be ridiculous. We're not anywhere close to a championship team man. We should trade Ray, Pierce and KG. They're old but still have value. Throw Rondo in too, he's a turnover machine that can't shoot. Sheed is not worthy of green either.

I say trade our entire starting 5 for Kobe Cryant

[celticinorlando]

man...the boston bench is PUTRID right now....from injuries to guys like scal..it is bad....

Way to C's --- allowing Channing Frye a career night from 3 point range.

Rondo takes a bad fall almost doing a split there --- but leave him out there DOC.  No need to rest him and experiment with someone else running the point.

Yeah but now it should just be the bench and maybe some who can stay with Fry.

It's getting rather silly yeh. Agreed.

Eddie's 5-7 from downtown is a bright spot, thought, why Eddie, why in a blowout...

[celticinorlando]

i find it odd that boston has spent almost the entire month of december on the road while LA continues to play home games

[jadams5214]

Eddie is out of that slump...who said slump...!

Eddie is doing his typical make several 3 pointers in a blowout game routine

[Change]

Please get Sheldon and Scal out. Trade both.

[mahonedog88]

This is some of the worst D I've seen this team play all year.

I mean, credit has to be given to Frye for knocking the shots down in the first place, but there's no way in hell the Celtics should be giving it up like this.

This was one of those games where I thought "why am I watching this?  It's blatantly obvious that this team is going to get their butts handed to them tonight" and yet...I've watched anyway.

Eddie always shoots great in blowouts.
