Celtics (27-12) at Pistons (14-26) 1/20

[PosImpos]

Thought Villanueva goaltended that Rondo shot. Also thought Jerebko fouled TA.

Good to see Perk still thinks he is a young Lew Alcindor in the post...

I almost wish he hadn't done so well earlier in the year (when defenses didn't respect him) so he wouldn't think he can go 1 on 1 every time he gets the ball.

When your coach doesn't believe offense is important---you get empty possessions like this.

I have little to no confidence in this team anymore

Why?

[Who]

The lack of quickness on this team is glaring ... particularly amongst the big men.

middle of the pack basketball team...championship teams win games vs very bad teams without 2 of their best players. big, slow and unathletic

Well, this is really ugly.  can't buy a hoop. We continue to unnecessarily give life to much worse teams.  Really terrible that this game is feeling like a loss right now. The Pistons have the energy and momentum and it will only be their incompetence that could cost them this game.  They have obliged by missing shots at times, but we have nothing right now.

This is surreal once again...

Ray can't hit anything, and we're lucky Villanueva hasn't hit a 3 because he is wide open everytime.

And I don't even try to understand why the Celtics go to Perk everytime when the guy is a turnover machine. Or why Doc gets Rondo out of the game to keep Eddie in.

Rondo's playing a tiny bit less explosive; tired.

He should be on the bench. We need Quisy honestly.

Jason Maxiell still only has one foul.

[MaxwellSmart86]

we had like 30 points after the first quarter---and I said to myself half-jokingly, we won't score 100.

Surreal.  How about unreal?  That's a good way to put it.  It seems unreal that the Celtics are this bad.

Can't use the "playing a young athletic team" tonight.  Can't use the "fatigue" excuse either.  Can't use the "we're more injured than the other team" excuse tonight.

What excuse is left???

[Neurotic Guy]

That 3 was inevitable.

[USG]

The urge to say "**** it, blow the team up." is overwhelming.

[jdpapa3]

Ah, Eddie House in with 5 minutes to go and it's not garbage time...fantastic.

[Drucci]

Pathetic.
