Delonte has only had 1 assist this half. Only 5 total for the team.

Same number assists rondo had in 10 more mins last game (with 4 fewer turnovers). I dont think he's playing badly at all.

I don't think he's having a bad game either, just pointing out that we haven't been playing as a team this half.

If that was Rondo's stat line, people would be ripping into him right now.

If Rondo was shooting 50% from the field and 100% at the line, with twice as many steals as turnovers, I doubt anyone would have anything negative to say. I know I'd be off his back lol. It's when he goes 6/15, 2/12, 2/11, that it gets painful to watch  >:(

I think you're underestimating some people on this blog. Rondo shot 50% from the field, had 5 assists, and no turnovers in NOH and many people thought he was horrible.

yeah, green has been massively misused here. given pierce's struggles the past month, and baby's uneven play (yet another horrible shooting night), i don't see why green isn't getting a lot more minutes. dude can flat-out ball. he needs more time and more opportunities.

I would like so say while blowing a 25 point lead to a lousy team is both shocking and sad, the fact the Celtics played hard enough to win this game should not be overlooked. Yeah, they played bad...for way too long, but when they had to, they shut it down and took the win.

I am not yet worried about the playoffs. Yet, I say :)

Rambis should be fired for calling for a foul in that spot... Great W.

yes, terrible call.

I mean, what is he thinking? It's still a one possession game at that spot.  His team had it right, they didn't want to foul there.

Obviously I'll take the win, though.

Grizz beat the Spurs tonight. They're playing as well as the Celts are playing poorly.

Two straight teams that have misused jeff green.  Strange

Can't wait to hear Tommy rip the team after the game. Has ray Allen taken a shot in the fourth quarter?

he took two FT's to ice the game

Celtics getting embarassed by Darko Milici (Biggest bust in NBA history) and a former 2010 D-Leaguer in Tolliver.

This is a shame. Funny really.

Well, I don't know...Darko lit up Perk for 16 the other night....

This team's issues are much greater than Perk......

Couldn't have been. Nobody scores on the greatest center the league has seen since Shaq in his prime.
Back to wanting Joe fired.

Wow, they really eked that one out! Let's hope the C's can carry the winning momentum into Indiana.

green wasn't exactly misused in OKC, he just happened to be there with two guys who always have the ball in their hands.

Also, I legitimately think Jeff Green isn't that good. I'm not sure that I want him playing more minutes.

Though I would like Garnett to get some rest--fat chance of that with no depth on the frontline. Love that Jermaine O'Neal signing! How much did the Wolves spend on Darko? I'd rather have him!

Win.

But for some reason I feel like we lost again.
The Celtic in me.

C's were doing well until BBD came into the game in the first half.  once he came in, the slide downhill started.  I'm not laying all the blame on him, but he did not play well tonight and it was no coincidence the team as a whole started crapping out when he came in.

have to admit, there's no one that I thought played a terrific game.  some good plays by everyone at one point or another during the game but overall, no one was great.
