Celtics (32-18) at Kings (18-34) 2/16

nice PP.....nice

why was that offensive? wasn't may in the circle?

Kings guy said that if you catch it in the circle, it can be a charge, but it looks like Pierce drove into the circle. I think they got the call wrong.

The rule is if you catch it on the block the circle doesn't matter.  Prevents stuff like old-school Shaq bulldozing everyone in the paint.

how can rondo make 3 after 3 in that horse contest but miss FTs?

how can KG make 3 after 3 in practice but not make them when he takes them in games?

hitting shots in practice and hitting them in a game are two very different things...you have to be on a whole other level to hit shots consistently in a game.

it is a FT with nobody on you....i dont get it

Also agree that it's not that Garnett can't jump anymore--I just saw him go up for a rebound pretty well.  It's the quick lift and explosion that is gone right now.  I was hoping it'd come back (like it was earlier this season).  But it might be gone for good...which would really be a shame. 

If we could make layups we'd be up about 15 right now.

If anyone can work hard enough to regain their vertical after an Injury it will be Kg... next season.

just incase anyone hasnt seen that in the other thread. Looks like we are close to a deal with NY

Well the starters came out in this 3rd quarter and did nothing other than hang onto a slim lead.

They came off a nice break and all talked about getting back to Celtic basketball.  Yet so far nothing has changed.  The starters can't finish on the break, are slow defensively and are just lumbering around.  The Kings are a terrible team but are staying right with the Celtics starters easily.

The expectations have become so low for this team that it's considered a positive that they haven't blown their halftime lead yet against a terrible team and after having time to regroup and get motivated...

more missed FTs.....

[jadams5214]

And another blown layup this time by Daniels.  Just keep adding to the list geez

I just noticed the Thunder now have 31 wins.  That's right.  In a short time (5-6 games) a team that won fewer than 30 games last year could have a better record than us.

Doc had better put these guys through a three hour layup drill and if they miss one they have to do suicides

This is getting almost comical with the missed layups

Greene just threw a bow at KG. Should've been t'd up.

[vinnie]

ray is 4-11 tonight. the offense just not flowing for the starters, but at leat they are holding the lead.

[Kuberski33]

At least they're hustling and trying to uptempo.  Big change from the 3Q of recent games....
