Celtics (23-5) at Pacers (13-15) 12/28

I'm wondering why O'Brien is playing TJ Ford so much when he has Collison and especially when you consider that Ford simply sucks!

I agree. Hopefully he keeps it up though. We don't need Collison going off on Nate.

make indiana run half court offense. they hurt boston when they got out and ran

[Tenacious D]

Would like to see Quis step up a little more, keep things in flow while PP sits and generally look for his shot. In any case, good job working back into the game. Helps that Indy is another team with a bunch of shameless chukkers (its Obie-ball!).

What's the story guys, I just tuned in.

What's the story guys, I just tuned in.

Poor D from Nate early on leading to easy Pacers baskets (in the paint or wide open jumpshots), terrible offense, Pierce with two early fouls didn't help our offensive game, Ray lost a ton of possessions by overdribbling, Baby can't hit a jumper... but we picked things up defensively in the 2nd (thanks to Bradley in part) and our offense started to get better, although we did miss two open shots to take the lead at the buzzer of the 1st half.

Ouch, seems like a lack of focus.  Let's hope we pick it up in the second.

Rays in a huge funk

Bird was sometimes in a huge funk. Ray will come around. He's 59 away from most threes in NBA history. He'll come around.

Great start to the half

[Meadowlark_Scal]

They said today in the paper that the Celts went on a losing streak the last 2 years after losing on Christmas.... We need a healthy RONDO back...then West...!

[Drucci]

Well this is clearly the way we SHOULDN'T have started the 2nd half... but hey, what can you do.

[Meadowlark_Scal]

Ray is coldddddd, but he'll come out of it soon...!

[vinnie]

Ray and Nate are killing this team. And now Shaquille has 4. Not going to end well I don't think

[Megatron]

No Rondo.
No Bench.
Ray in his annual slump.
Nate in a slump.

We only have Pierce, Garnett and Shaq that are able to do anything.

Hibbert is getting some "Old Schooling" by Shaq..! YESSSSS..!
