Celtics (40-21) at Bucks (33-29) 3/9

Once again we hold a team to a low score... but we also hold ourselves. Stop working the air out of the ball and take some shots.

[Kiorrik]

Ugh.

[barefacedmonk]

jennings needs to shut his mouth... that guy is a punk

Actually, he is allowed to mouth off as much as wants. KG does the same thing. I don't mind on court banter at all.

[vinnie]

Now I am more worried about Pierce than I am about KG. Looks like you get 1 good game out of every three or four from Paul, and one out of every 2 from KG. Pierce really looks bad. He has less lift than Glen Davis.

I only watched the second half but I thought the Celtics looked poor ... clueless offensively ... A complete lack of direction. A lack of purpose their play.

I was disappointed with what I saw from Boston today.

thank you! boston played one good quarter tonight and that was the second. poor offense, poor rotations (perk), and another 4th quarter where the offense disappears.

[Who]

It should have been Pierce and Kg pick and roll. Kg taking the 18 ft jump shot. cmon

Any time Boston is going against a center like Bogut ... late in games KG should be moved to center on offensive possessions and Boston should go to the pick and roll.

Opposing teams simply aren't able to defend that play at a high level. Boston will consistently get a good shot out of that play for Kevin Garnett or Paul Pierce or a swing pass to a shooter on the other side of the floor.

This is where they miss a guy like James Posey. A good fit offensively for small ball and good enough defensively to live with him at the four.

I think we played Really well for the most part---you can't go from playing like complete CRAP--to and 18 game winning streak on a dime...the real test will be tomorrow night---They better not hang their heads after this game---if Doc just replaces Perk with Sheed at the 4 minute mark--we win this.

me, too. I just felt helpless. Ugh, apparently this was a good game, but certainly a game we should win. We get some semblance of decent competition and we fall apart again. I sure hope they can pull it together.

[CelticSooner]

I don't understand the play call at the end. Pierce has been off for a while now.

I'm sorry but if the game's on the on the line I want the ball in Ray's hands now.

Ray was 0-3 tonight. Just saying.

Wouldn't have been the first time Ray has played poorly and still hit a clutch shot at the end.

My wanting to see the ball in Ray's hands in those situations has more to do with Pierce more so than Ray.

[pengaloo]

Doc screwed us tonight by NOT removing Perkins for Rasheed late in this game.....Perkins looked beaten down by Bogut's game.

Eh. Perk gets beat by everyone's game for the past two months.

[celticinorlando]

why did boston lose? because ray allen was not given the opportunity to even get into a rhythm tonight at all. he needs early shots..at least attemps

[barefacedmonk]

Do we play the Bucks again? If we do, I would like to see Shelden on Bogut for a few minutes...curious to see how he defends him.

Perk needs to heed his own advice. He keeps talking about focus and improvement.....hight time he pulls up his socks.

[twinbree]

I don't care if we win or lose anymore. As long as we play consistent smart basketball from now on and draw Toronto in the 1st round I'm good.

That being said NO MORE ISOS! I don't care who is doing the isolating at this point just run the plays. And defend the the 3 point line. And Jennings is an idiot. That is all.  

[MaxwellSmart86]

The Bucks have been killing teams lately---so, I guess we did pretty well.
