Celtics (29-16) at Wizards (16-30) 2/1

[jdpapa3]

22 FT for the Wizards to 10 for us.

I'm starting to wonder why other teams shoot so much free throws than us in every game. We don't shoot that much jumpshots, don't we?

You ever go on an NBA general forum and notice that everyone that's not a Celtics fan spews extra hate about the Celtics? Well, the Celtics are not a likable crew and the refs are human and it seems to me to be leaking into their subconscious, or possibly even conscious. Rasheed doesn't help that.

As Tommy would say:

*sigh......*

Caron Butler needs to cut the crap, also. What does it say that the open-field tackle on Pierce wasn't called a foul? Just another day in Mr. Stern's NBA.

[Fafnir]

Did PP just get pushed to the floor?

No. The ball was stolen and he then fell.

Looked like an arm in his back as he lost it. Must be my green glasses.

It was after, still if you can just shove other players to the ground to get a loose ball...

Please, please, please don't blame the refs tonight. Celtics once again getting beaten by a vastly inferior team because the bench stinks and the starters just not getting it done.

that bad so far?

[Tai]

I really am tired of hearing about the refs. Just make it stop.

[jdpapa3]

Ray on pace for 42 minutes. Go Doc.

[Donoghus]

that bad so far?

I don't think so.  The turnovers are frustrating but we're still very much in the hunt.  

After yesterday, we could've came out a lot flatter.

[Fafnir]

that bad so far?

We've turned it over a couple of times to give them extra FTs and missed 3 easy layups to end the first.

Bad but not completely awful.

i take it turnovers are once again killing them?

that bad so far?

We've turned it over a couple of times to give them extra FTs and missed 3 easy layups to end the first.

Bad but not completely awful.

11 or 12 turnovers against a 16-30 team and trailing at the half and not awful? What am I missing about this team? They absolutely are playing terrible basketball tonight.

boykins has 8 points

Momentum shifted when we had Allen, Allen, house, Sheed, and Scal out there. Nice to see Doc has booted our only offensive rebounder from the rotation for a stiff.

They're rebounding pretty well, shooting efficiently from the field, and have hit their free throws.

If they were playing terrible basketball they wouldn't be doing any of these.

at this point....try sheldon...at least he will do the dirty work in the paint
