Celtics (48-19) at Hornets (40-30) 3/19

So now that we know we are going to be the 3 seed in another few days (or certainly by end of season), does anyone like our chances of beating Miami AND Chicago on the road?  Amazing how a season can be lost in the span of about 2 weeks.  Is it the trade, is it tired legs, no idea.  Just know they are playing like absolute garbage.

i love the celtics...but i am worn out with them right now. Just no joy in watching them right now...and it isn't the losses...it is the way they are losing...nothing changes

they are going to be down 15-20 once again at the half...i like the trade but i am afraid that the chemistry has been damaged beyond repair

This team is not bad because the new guys don't seem to be able to play with the old guys -- it sucks because the old guys don't seem to be able to (or want to) play with themselves.

and that is where I am most frustrated.

Man this is depressing.  We can't get anything going on either end.

We needed more offense, Roy. Defense is so overrated....I think Danny didn't acquire enough offense...should have traded Baby and KG too.

Maybe we can trade KG and Ray for Zach Randolph and Ben Gordon in the off-season.  #18, here we come!

Sit the starters the rest of the night if possible.  At least the bench is trying

I hope you're wrong but I fear that you're right.  I argued at the time that Danny didn't appreciate chemistry and cohesion enough, but I didn't think the team would fall apart like this.

That said, to be optimist, we're still only down 9 ... er, 11.

Anybody watching off dish network? The feed isn't coming through.

The bench is looking good right now. Keep the starters out as long as possible because they haven't given much effort the past few games.

Thank god Danny traded for this high-powered offense

just the same pattern that concerns me..they continue to get down big early and just can't come back....the clippers, the sixers, houston and tonight...just get tired of watching them do this night after night

This play has nothing do with the trade.

Unless you think the Hornets and Rockets are better then a team that starts 4 all stars.

They are coasting, they did this last year for the entire season, lets not act like we are surprised.

Don't blame the new guys when the big 3 have looked like trash. It's so easy to blame Krstic and Green, huh?

[celticinorlando]

keep this up they will have to go to miami n round 2 and then to chicago for round 3...that is a tough road to go

Just noting that so far, the trade for offense is not paying off. Not blaming anyone
Nice move, delonte
