C's winning the battle of the boards
C's shooting 80% at the FT line
C's holding the Kings to 37% shooting, though Kings are helping
C's increased the lead two quarters in a row
C's scored 19 points in the 3rd quarter played mostly by the starters
C's have missed at least 10 layups/fast break chances
C's are playing against one of the leagues worst teams and the starters are not beating the Kings starters
Yet, who's winning?
I hope the Celtics --- they SHOULD be winning against a team that is 18-34 shouldn't they???
No they SHOULDN'T
You have to go out and win every night in this league
No team is a given win
Well if a 2 point lead against a terrible team for the Celtics after a nice break and having everyone on the roster available is considered a good thing then that just further illustrates how far the Celtics have fallen.
A team with 3 Hall of Famers and another All Star that has been struggling mightily in recent weeks should be able to turn it around after the break against a bad team shouldn't they???
Paul Pierce is 3 for 12 glad he won the 3 point shootout though that is really helping the team.

Why
Why should they
Are you privy to team medical reports that have them being 100% healthy
Pierce had surgery and sprained his foot
KG had a serious knee injury and surgery and reinjured the knee
Ray missed his last game with a bad back
Rondo is averaging huge minutes the last month
Ray Allen is no longer an All-Star nor does he play at that level
Same with KG who didn't deserve to be in Dallas
The Celtics are 9-13 in their last 22 games playing a team that is 13-12 at home this year
Right now, they may be playing better ball than we are
Expecting blowouts every night and ****ing about not winning huge is futile
If you just accept them for what they are, a team hurt and past their prime, your game watching experience will be a lot more enjoyable
