Celtics (30-23) at Bulls (42-13) 4/5

Oh well

Do we really expect the C's to do anything come playoff time with Steamer and Hollins as the first bigs off the bench?

[Andrew Celtic Nation]

Our team ONLY competes at home...but we don't play well enough on the road or at home to have homecourt in the playoffs, that doesn't bode well for a playoff run, these guys are so frustrating, it's like they lose interest when things aren't going well, especially Rondo...KG just psyches himself out.

[hpantazo]

they gave it a great effort tonight. Just too overmatched on the boards, and too many dumb plays out of frustration

[Senninsage]

This was a combination of a number of bad to stupid plays by the Celtics and just some unbelievably lucky as hell plays by the Bulls.

I also partly blame Doc for, in the third quarter, when the Bulls started making a run, he didn't think to call a time out to settle things and get the team refocused. That alone would have contributed to certain things happening that would probably have the Celts in a much more favorable position right now.

Best rebounding team vs the worst.

The result was predictible. lol.

[Andrew Celtic Nation]

The Hollins signing seems pointless, unless he miraculously gets it suddenly he just seems like a player that will play in garbage time and get a few dunks. He gets like zero rebounds which is what I thought we were after.

I have the strange feeling that if this was a playoff game, we would have blown them out. Pierce has not shown up for the second half.

Bass came to play vs Miami. Rebounds, getting to the foul line, and hard defense. I guess that was good enough for the week.

[Marcus13]

Wow; didn't think he was gonna get that off in time, nice move

[mahonedog88]

This looks like its going to be such a repetitive stretch of games...come out strong, slowly lose the lead quarter by quarter right on their way to an L

He'll do that from time to time but the team needs it almost every night now.

See what happens when a timeout is called don't know if that was an officials timeout or not, but Doc doesn't handle timeouts well at all

Well be dragging our legs huffing and puffing while they're going on runs and Doc doesn't call TO

[thestackshow]

We need to avoid playing OKC, Lakers, and Bulls in the playoffs if we want to make a run, we dont have the personel to content with their rebounders are will get crushed every time.

[Senninsage]

What has killed the Celtics this game is all the [dang] second chance opportunities that the Bulls got. Seriously, take just one of those away, just one, and the Celtics are down by no more than like 3 or 4 right now. Take away the stupid inbounds turnovers that we got? Yea, we are in much better position right now if we cut down on such mistakes.

Signing an extra big man, even Hollins makes some sense. Playing him in a big game over Steamer is senseless.

Deng is killing Pierce.
