i must say I am counting the days until I don't have to see baby in a Cs uniform. i am tired of him thinking he is some sort of 15 foot jump shooter that is the main option. he simply kills anything on offense

Turnovers are the #1 killer for our team in this game...it's not the rebounding.

I agree, turnovers by far are killing us, and it's on everyone, not just Rondo or Pierce

same here, if he attempts another 3 in this game Doc should just knock him out.

OMG, I actually agree with you. I guess there's a 1st time for everything.

new official stance:  This team is a nonfactor in the playoffs if Shaq doesn't come back  Either we get upset in round 1 or embarrassed in round 2.  Shame.  Getting outrebounded by a team with no big man.

Our perimeter defense and rebounding are killing us right now. I am not sure why their gaurds are so easily recovering on the pick and roll, but ours are not. Ray and Delonte were terrible at this. We may as well have played a zone. If Baby boxes someone out this half, it will be the first time today. Just how many guys does he think he is going to out-jump for rebounds?

[Spicoli]

3 Major problems with this team right now:

1. BBD does more harm than good.

2. Rondo is not making an impact on the game.

3. Ray being chased off screens by two defenders. The rest of the league has figured it out. Run two people at Ray off picks to neutralize him, and the rest of the offense goes in the toilet. When Ray plays well, and gets good looks the team plays well. Teams have finally figured it out.

Turnovers are the #1 killer for our team in this game...it's not the rebounding.

How can this possibly be the case when the Heat have 4 more turnovers than us and 14 more rebounds than us?

Your rebounding stats at the half:

MIA 24
BOS 10

Are you kidding me?

I just got home, so I haven't had the game on.  

We have ten total rebounds, and Miami has ten on the offensive glass alone?  Against MIAMI?  Not against Dwight Howard, or against Gasol/Bynum?  

People still think trading our best rebounder for a seventh-man was a good idea?

we are in dire straights!!

Hey Rondo, JO, and Baby how about instead of going out clubbing till two in the morning (and past Rondo!) and get your rest in for the biggest game of the year.

Instead you guys go out had back at two (JO and Baby) and even leave the club with three girls and stay out... Rondo!

JO you say you want to have the confetti fall on you and feel what it is like to be a champion, well you have to prepare and sacrifice like a champion and that means not going out partying the night before the biggest game of the season.  There is a reason you don't have a ring right now.  You are a veteran and should act like one.

Baby you say you want to be a better leader for the second unit well how about you rest your body the night before the biggest game of the season.  Oh and you want a big contract after this season... You have proven that you are not worth one with your immaturity. 

And lastly Rondo... You say you want to be the best pg in the league well going out clubbing and then taking out three chicks at 2 in the morning before the biggest game of the season is not the determination and dedication you need to become the best pg in the league.  Do you think Derrick Rose would be doing that... there is a reason Derrick Rose has surpassed you by so much this year, has his team leading the East in wins and is about to take the MVP it's because he has that dedication.

You guys have to sacrifice to be a champion and have that dedication to bea champion and right now you guys don't.

Turn it up this second half... Get your head out of your bleep and make me not care about the rumor of you three going out last night when you should have been resting and preparing for the biggest game of the season.

This can be moved to the "Where do the Celtics say at when in Miami?" thred if people feel the need.

I was gonna ask for these numbers, thanks. Rebounding is the problem.
