losing makes me sad

Showing some life here. Maybe we can tie it before CP3 comes back..

[Errn]

Just tuned in. Great set of possessions by the Celtics. Good patience by Nate. Quisy with the creation. Nate with the steal. We've cut down their lead.

17 turnovers is still unacceptable no matter who you are playing with.

While I agree with that, I think a lot of that comes from a lot of these guys not usually playing with one another.  Doc likes to run his team almost as two "units", so when the starters find themselves playing with guys they don't usually spend a lot of floor time with, you see some sloppy basketball.

If they lose, I wont care.
If they win, ill be happy.

Either way, im happy that Rondo+KG will eventually be back and we shall be tearing up the league once again.

[snively]

The talent drop-off after Paul on this team is enormous.  West is a nice scorer, Okafor's a very good finisher and Bellinelli can shoot, but this team would be a 25 win team without CP3.

Nice little run here...  I love the energy.

Hop back on the bandwagon Roy, were not done yet!

LOL. Another AWFUL game by the green.They never will keep it together after XMas apparently..

Yeah, KG and Rondo have been TERRIBLE today.  I mean, they've basically been invisible:  no points, no rebounds, no defense.  We can't win when we get so little of a contribution from them.

We have to figure out a way. We just can't lose every game until they get back. We have got to keep playing and stay focused..

And not very many minutes.  They're barely on the court to the point where they should be traded!  Seriously, it's hard to imagine this team blowing many people out right now.

[Roy H.]

Lead!

I love Harangody's hustle.  He looks like he could be a cross between Scal and Powe.

YaaaaHooooo!!!

What does it matter?

2 weeks is not that long. Rondo will be back for sure, KG might be back, and the team shall be rolling again.

RAY !!!!!!!!!!

JO has some nice blocks tonight..

Haha.  Don't mistake my sarcasm for giving up on the team.  I still remain an eternal optimist, even though I think the team is playing severely short-handed right now.
