Humph. Where to next?
Marquis' return has been fantastic. Without him we would be blown out. Imagine that?

[Redz]

OK, we suck and the sky is falling and all that stuff

now can we please win this game just for the hell of it anyhow

[Drucci]

Get Pierce out of the game and put Marquis back in, seriously, what is Doc doing? He doesn't know what he is doing out there.

[hpantazo]

glad to see Pierce is ready for the three point shootout

[PosImpos]

Another lazy offensive possession ends up with paul settling for a 15 ft jumper.


Team needs a trade to shake up the bench and to come out like gangbusters after the all star break, or i'll be forced to agree with orlando, they will be one and done.

Thank god Toronto is even worse, so we have an outside shot at holding them off for a fraudulent three seed.

just time to accept the truth. this is not an elite, good or strong team. they look like a bunch of  old players collecting paychecks. 11 losses now that they have blown double digit leads to lose the game.

Hmm...that sounds like another team in the Eastern Conference last year.  Pistons anyone?

[celticinorlando]

this team has been a terrible rebounding and FT team all year...HEY DANNY...you still think this team is a contender? if you do, i have some dry land in the everglades for you to buy

[MaxwellSmart86]

Rondo Pierce and KG are ALL STARS.....hmmm. Iverson deserves it more.

[vinnie]

Can anyone out there tell me what this team is trying to do on offense? HORRENDOUS. and the free throw shooting 2-11 in the second half. I cannot believe there is a fan out there, win or lose tonight, who thinks this team can make a run at the championship. They are about on par with New Orleans.

[Larry for 3]

The Celtics will go 0- for this road trip, you watch

[Rondo_is_better]

I feel like this team is just daring Danny Ainge to make a trade.  It's like they want to prove to him that they can't be a competitive team.

TP. It's like they need a breath of fresh air in the locker room. We all can see it. They're sick of each other. We're sick of watching this crap.

sick of each other...hmm...actually i agree. They're stewing/wallowing in this sickness and sluggishness and its a result of age and/or chemistry.

[FatjohnReturns]

Same third quater meltdown and the same turnovers. Guess tonight no one can blame Ray. Maybe its time to replace the Coach.

[butterbeanlove]

I think the root of the problem tonight has been Pierce.  He's had a terrible game.  No shot, stupid passes, trying to do too much.

yea, he;s clearly not 100%. should have sat him doc.

Just because a gamer like paul comes to you and says "play me" doesn't mean it's the smart decision.

Why does KG get the "I can't listen to him, he doesn't know his own body and always want's to play" treatment but paul, who's just as bad, gets to play himself 3 days after he admitted his foot swelled up on him post game?

Glenn is a "player's coach." He has no ability to assert his own judgment. Same way he handles rotations. Nothing new here. We've seen it for five years. He's never going to change.

Without CP3. Now thats sad

[vinnie]

Toronto wins. If Celts lose, what will they be up, 3 1/2 games. Toronto could win teh Atlantic.

Perfect!  Steal victory out of the jaws of defeat for a change!

Edit:  forget I said anything.
