So, How bad will we lose to Mike James, John Lucas and the Bulls on Friday?

[raynman]

I tried to be optimistic... I really did... But unless something drastic happens, this trend will continue.. The Celtics will lose their way out of the playoffs this year! Something is just not right, some of the old ways are not working anymore.. 2 straight losses at home is unforgivable, Scoring less than 20 in two quarters is unforgivable, Being outcoached by an assistant is unforgivable, complaining about bad calls is unforgivable, giving up big early leads only to have failed comebacks are unforgivable, playing lethargic after a 4-day-rest is unforgivable... I can go on and on.. No matter who we play, no matter who is playing, the script is the same.. So I can't help but envy some teams like Thibodeau's Bulls who still played good without team leader and league MVP Derrick Rose.. And who led them this time? A certain John Lucas III! I don't think I have to elaborate but this I know... When we meet Chicago on Friday, I wouldn't be surprised if the Celtics lose another frustrating heartbreaker and their THIRD STRAIGHT HOME GAME to Mike James' Bulls!

I just hope this woeful offense can score more than the 64 points the hapless Wizards put up tonight against the Bulls.

[SHAQATTACK]

Oh ,  DOc and DA will call them out and they may win .  And it will kill them to play that hard. So they beat the Bulls in a upset...and then loose ther next 10 games trying to recover.

I predict a Celtic Win.....by now the rest of the teams see how pathetic we look and I belive we "MIGHT " get overlooked on this one.....by the Bulls as an easy win.......this plus the fans and DOC /DA calling them out .....wins us the game.

Bulls are getting setup for a loss

 

[ManUp]

Defend or Die because we aren't going to beat them with our offense.

I'm counting rebounding as defense as well because if we don't they will run it down our throats.

We will win the game, I promise.

"Defend or Die, Score or Suck!"

That should be Doc's message on the whiteboard! All other gameplans have not worked..

Im already predicting another L....

same story here, we will be badly outrebounded again with too many second chance opportunities for the Bulls who is not just a defensive team but is 2x more ferocious on the boards than the Mavs.

Im really starting to wonder if this team might even make the playoffs the way we are playing.

The negativity on this board sucks right now. It stinks and it sucks.

 C'mon, go with it.

 We'll probably lose by, oh, 50 points or so.

 I'll be back later with my predictions for the other three quarters.

rose is playing on friday

be down in the first 3 q's but start playing harder late in the 3rd-4th because that's what i keep seeing rondo all of a sudden finds a open ray open pierce that can't happen friday most important this team needs rebounding j.oneal needs won't allow him to go head to head with noah on a rebounding level rondo will play hard i know that for sure after the april game he knows what he has to do...and doc needs to know with rose on the floor this team has to play ZONE! ZONE! ZONE! not only will it stop him from driving it will also thru the bulls off on defense and force them to shoot from the outside

[vinnie]

The Bulls will destroy the Celts on the boards. If Rose plays, Bulls by 7.

[Celtics18]

Celts by 5.
