Celtics (29-14) at Hawks (29-14) 1/29

[ManUp]

My Celtics Pride has never been higher right now. I feel like I have been punched in the mouth. I can see this second half turning around our season. Those shots by KG and Pierce is going to get the team going. I just know it.

I think this next half will show how much heart this team has.

I feel sucker punched.

I think I need a drink.

You can't credit the other team.  Our bench sucks.  Ray Allen I don't think could even guard me at this stage of his career.  KG's not healthy and there's zero energy off the bench.  Plus we're stuck with Rasheed Wallace the next two seasons.  Danny needs to inject some hustle and athleticism into this team and I'm not sure how he does that.

I'm honestly shocked that there aren't more posts about the referees here. They literally poured gasoline onto the fire with that bogus Rasheed foul/technical sequence.

it is the celtics...they call them different...guess this happens when you virtually ignore the last several drafts and dont get young guys than can help...and no...i dont think walker or JR are the answer....

Get this down to 8.

Always wanted one of those. And the jacket that dries itself.

Do you remember the TV special that lied to everyone saying they were about to release hover boards?

How much do you guys think Quisy can do when he's back?

The T was bogus but Rasheed made it clear since he stepped on the court that he didn't want to play tonight. See the silly turnovers, the silly fouls, the lack of defense, etc. I'm with the refs on that one unfortunately. When you play with no heart or effort whatsoever you don't argue calls.

Ainge assembled a great team. Doc is just terrible coach.

This team's not great.  Its an average NBA team right now.

[celticinorlando]

this team is looking VERY old in a hurry...i mean ray, KG and PP just look slow, out of step

[MaxwellSmart86]

I HATE when Rondo decides to play QUARTERBACK...instead of Point Guard....he just stands on the outside and looks to pass inside...instead of driving and kicking it out...we SUCK when he plays like this.

I think the refs are hoping 'sheed will finally get the message:  "Just shut up.  We don't care and we're tired of hearing it."  Maybe he'll finally figure it out.

How much do you guys think Quisy can do when he's back?

Quisy doesn't show well in statistics, but I remember being a fan of him right away. He was very smart with the ball and turned the ball over very rarely. He was also solid on defense and actually did decent on Lebron. Missing Quisy is on the list of issues with this team right now.

[vinnie]

Honestly, the Celts have no one but themselves (Sheed and Perk) to blame for the hate from the refs. It's not right, but I am sure every ref despises Perk and Sheed. Shut your mouths and play the freaking game.

i am an ainge fan, but anyone who signed rasheed to a 3 year deak cannot take too many bows.

doc is brutal....i hate shelden williams, but he should be playing over sheed now. at least shelden will rebound and try.

[Chief]

You know we have an athletic young guy on the bench. Maybe, tonight, he'd be worth a look.

[Drucci]

By the way, people who say Tommy is a homer should listen to Dominique Wilkins and his buddy, they said like 10 times that the Hawks got fouled on plays and didn't get the calls. They don't put the emphasis that Tommy has to blame the refs but they basically have the same complaints.
