And back to jump shots. Theyve completly gone away from all that gave them the good start.

I believe that the Celtics are playing as hard as they can out there right now.  As such, I can't blame them regardless of what happens tonight.

The bottom line, I think, is that they are just not the best team in this series.

Great steal by Pierce!

Delonte stinks. He's been about as bad as Baby in these playoffs.

I don't think we are seeing the best of Delonte. He has struggled since coming back from injury. Not the same player we've seen in the past (over the last couple of years). Out of sorts.

Still useful (serviceable) but not the high level backup he is capable of being.

And back to jump shots. Theyve completly gone away from all that gave them the good start.

Actually, what gave them a good start was admittedly solid defense and a lot of tough jump shots from Paul Pierce falling.  Now that the jumpshots aren't falling, the team is down.

In the NBA, you have to be able to score points in the paint and draw contact inside to get to the line.  Those are two things this team can't do consistently.
