The C's were turnover prone last year and it definitely isn't improving.  20 turnovers through 3 quarters is a mind boggling number.  They are just so careless with the ball and don't play smart fundemental basketball.  This isn't a team of rookies but a veteran laden team with hall of fame/all star caliber players.  NO EXCUSE to have this many turnovers.

And Pierce is killing us! Two careless passes in a row, what the hell?!

Wow, Pierce's turned into TA...
Pierce has always been turnover prone.

Scal back in the game when we're down 3... it will get uglier.

Doc says he'll limits Paul's minutes. I guess that means 36 minutes instead of 42. ;)

Pierce has 27 minutes right now.

We're up 40 in this game if Joey Crawford were given a pair of cement shoes in Miami Harbor.

Then again, Herr Stern would just conjure up another puppet to do his evil bidding.

They've already discombobulated this team with their BS calls. They don't need to do any more damage tonight.

(But they will.)

After 3 quarters:

Celtics
OR% - 9%
Points off turnovers - 4

Heat
OR% - 24%
Points off turnovers - 18

This is why the Celtics can't consolidate leads.

C's have turned an eight point lead into a five point deficit due to turnovers and poor shot selection against an average team.  

Sounds familiar...

Horrible mental era on Rondo's defense there.

Nice defense leaving Chalmers then Haslem wide open.  The Heat are building this lead with Wade on the bench.

PITIFUL

Ouch, we could be toast. Just awful play since our 8-pt lead.

Yeah, he honestly was worried that Beasley was about to school Scals. But you can't leave Chalmers open for the 3.

Wade comes in soon, Miami up 8. Not Good. We need points.

I saw it coming. We're playing 4 on 5 on O... or should I say  3 on 5 since Shelden and Scal are both useless? At least, Shelden is not afraid to shoot.
