What the hell is wrong with KG? Will he ever get better?

he has 400000 plus minutes on those knees. he is old

Kobe has more, but I don't see people writing his death certificate yet...

The bad:

Will Pierce ever be able to score taking it to the hole again?  Will KG ever get his lift and lateral quickness back?  Can Ray make enough shots to justify the fact that he can't guard anyone?  Why does Perk suddenly look like the Perk of 4 years ago?

Anything else?

Maybe that's because Kobe is still one of the top two players in the league --

What is Ray's legacy with the Celtics?

A win on the road against a team that has a winning record at home, with none of the starters playing 34 minutes or more? I'll take it and be happy with it.

Only 8 teams in the NBA have below .500 home records so it's not exactly something great to be a .500 home team.

And the reason the starters played fewer minutes is because they were terrible.  Doc wanted nothing more than to have the starters come out fired up and playing dominant Celtic's basketball but that didn't happen so the bench saved the game.

meh...you usually get more mileage out of guards...plus KG had to do most of the heavy lifting for the T wolves...plus he plays so dang hard

They held a pretty decent offensive team to 92 points

Sacramento scores 102 PPG and 105.6 PPG at home

That's good defense

It's a start for a team that has been struggling defensively

Why do people believe Nate Robinson is going to make these issues disappear?

he isn't...with or without nate this team is most likely going to play this way for the rest of the season

Now now, no need to be spreading logic around this topic. You'll upset the Debbie Downers!

not really concerned with the defense. i am more concerned with the fact boston was locked in a tight game after the kings couldn't throw it in the ocean in the third quarter. seems the offense late in games disappears

Nonsense!  I demand that both of you start feeling bad about your favorite basketball team right now!  We have flaws [dang] you!! FLAWS!!!

Yep!.....Exactly my point!

[Q_FBE]

Celts win.  That's good, right? 

You know it!  I'd rather sit through a tough game to watch and win than a tough game to watch and lose.  And in this case I could only follow the game thread for most of the 4th -- I definitely needed a W for a better night's sleep!

It is easier to build on wins than losses. So we know there are a lot of deficiencies with the team but at least they gave a decent effort tonight. I happen to think they are cooked but they have to keep fighting and they will. Sheed played well out there so perhaps that is a good sign. GS is giving the Lakers a tough time down the road 350 miles or so.

The defense was good tonight. Here is the problem: This team can't score easiluy anymore. The starters seem to ahve to work to hard for baskets. They never score 100 points anymore. That is the biggest problem I see.
