Nets (5-9) at Celtics (10-4) 11/24

Makeup call. What a joke.

[jimmehx]

WHERE was the foul?

[Drucci]

They call that a foul? Are you kidding me?!

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

I wouldn't be despondent. This isn't even close to the team we should be seeing when it counts.  Baby and Semih will barely see the floor.

Even if West mangled his hand, it's not even December and it wasn't his shooting hand.

It's not just a question of "one of 82" and "being ready in the spring." It's a question of us as fans being able (or in this case, not able) to watch a good product on the floor for most of the season. Yes, the playoffs are what matters most, and whether Boston gets the banner is the ultimater issue, but an 82-game slog is murder on us fans, not to mention that it also hurts Boston's playoff seeding, which makes its postseason road more difficult.

This is the third straight season in which Boston's been depleted with injuries while the other contenders are mostly healthy. And playing with effort and having your head in the game should be happening regardless of physical injuries, yet it continues to not happen for Boston. Now Delonte's down. Aye carumba. If we're gonna basically throw games anyway -- due to a combination of injuries and (lack of) hustle) -- then let's just play a lineup of Bradley, Erden, Wafer, Harangody and some second-stringer most of the time and see what they can do. That way, at least, we'll rarely be surprised when we lose.

It is painful to be at this game. They are horrendous right now. Could be putting some of my tickets on the market soon

BRICK CITY

[Adelaide Celt]

Do it for Delonte in this second half Celtics.

Keep your heads up guys.

[Drucci]

The team has missed a lot of open shots and played poor D but don't tell me the refs are not helping the Nets, we are not getting the calls we DESERVE in the paint once again, it's becoming a trend.

[jimmehx]

Celtics cannot hit a shot.

[JHTruth]

The offense gets us nothing but jumpers and we can't hit anything.. Pitiful..

[Neurotic Guy]

D is picking up.  Now if they could hit a shot...

[snively]

Some atrocious reffing to start the half.

Man, just be glad we're not the Blazers.

[LilRip]

we're getting open jumpers that aren't falling. i say we need to take it inside. of course, we're getting hammered in there without being rewarded with free throws. but still, the calls have to start even-ing out at some point! get in the post KG!

Broken right wrist for Delonte...
