Rockets (37-37) at Celtics (47-27) 4/2

Tony, if you shoot again, I'll feed your legs to a starved school of piranhas.

Tony's been exciting and effective tonight, but yeah, leave the jumpers alone.

Tony Allen is having a good year. He should be in rotation in front of Marquis.

I like that post move, sheed. The defense not so much. "Lemme just foul the crap out of you real quick...ok cool."

[barefacedmonk]

IMO, Quis has been a bigger disappoitment than Sheed.

I hate it when people like scola and varejao dominate our front court. i mean, one game may be a fluke, but for these guys to do it on a consistent basis just shows how the celts have indeed "lost" what rondo calls their "aura of greatness". the once feared defense is now being put to shame by guys who aren't really blessed with talent but are right on top of the list when it comes to effort and hustle.

I would totally agree based on what I've seen.  Nice to see him healthy.

Sheed had me all excited that he had finally turned it on for the playoffs and then goes out there and gets abused on defense, the boards, and offense. And he looks about 10 years older with no headband. Just not good times.

And it seems that Doc has all but given up on Nate Robinson when he came over here on fire.

I've been waiting for that pull-up J from Rondo ALL YEAR! YES!

True.  At least 'sheed completely owns Toronto.  We play them and we are set!

Seriously, given our road/home record, I'm beginning to think we need to slip to the fifth seed.

Scola hist an OPEN jumper AGAIN.

[celticinorlando]

play some defense and lets go. enough of this crap already

At least Daniels' play is excusable: he's come back from the surgery with no rhythm. And he was pretty much labeled as an injury waiting to happen when he came here so it didn't surprise many. Sheed simply doesn't do the things a basketball player is supposed to do.

Sometimes I expect to see some 40s in paper bags sitting on the celtics bench. Being drunk might explain their inability to stop inferior teams.

That would almost be nice.

YES! This is exactly what you want to see from your 24 year old All Star pg.

If big baby misses one more layup. . . . . .

Baby missing that layup wasn't what angered me most about that play.  Rasheed went to post up and Davis decided to post up 2 feet away too.  Davis doesn't have a back to the basket post game...

Above all I blame Doc.  Didn't he say to Mike Gorman a week or two ago that in the playoffs you won't see all 5 bench players in at once?  Why has he always put them in now?  You'd think the team would benefit from playing with the players they will play with in the playoffs.  Doc is awful... reluctant to play Tony when he's been clearly playing better than Marquis..

Gorman asked him an innocuous question about rotations during the pre-game show and Glenn got totally defensive. Said "I don't care about rotations" "rotations aren't important" "rotations don't mean nothing because somebody gets in foul trouble"

Gorman tried to bail him out by saying "you mean in the playoffs you know what your rotations are going to be but you can't tell us?" but it was clear Glenn was in over his head like a caterpillar in the deep end of the kiddie pool
