I stick by my prediction that the Celtics are gonna stick around .500 until Christmas and then go on a run after that, probably coinciding with Avery Bradley returning and getting back to 100%.

Celtics have NO business playing teams like the HEAT , we were lucky not to get beat 142 to 75

Losing a close hard game is acceptable , get destroyed by nobodies is crazy.

On the bright side: Rondo just needs 2 assists in the second half to keep his streak of double digit assist games alive.

I was just thinking the same thing.  As good a night as any for LP not to work, since apparently the game is unwatchable.

Wins > silly stat streak.

I'm assuming they're going to be pretty up and down, so they'll eke out wins versus mediocre to average teams like the Wiz and maybe win the occasional game against a good team.  We won't see this team play elite ball until after Christmas.

A lot like last season, in other words.  Unfortunately they don't have a lockout as an excuse this time around.

Sure, but I'm just looking for the positives here.

After a few games, I am getting more and more worried about our 2 guards (except for lee) being too undersized to guard big and strong 2's.

Rondo needs to crank up the D as well.  Holiday is doing what he wants, when he wants.  We are letting WAY too many dribble drives into the paint.  We need to crank up the perimeter D, to slow down the driving to the hoop.  Isn't going to happen until the intensity is cranked up, a lot.

1) Sully has more minutes than Bass, Terry, Green, Wilcox, and Barbosa.  He has 2 points and 2 rebounds, and has been a defensive liability.  I'm all for developing the rookie, but when the team is struggling this badly, now is not the time.

2) Bass looks MUCH better as a starter.  I do not agree with "having too much scoring" when Bass is with the starting lineup. 

3) Green absent once again.  I've constantly believed that his contract was worth the price and that he'd give us solid minutes and much needed depth at the 3, things we need when we play the Heat, Knicks, and other teams.  That belief and confidence is beginning to fade.

4) What happened to PP?  He's probably shooting close to 30% for the season so far.  Without his contributions, we're not going anywhere.

On a positive note, KG looks good.

I'm pretty sure, I would be banned if I expressed my true feelings about this half...

How in the world did Rondo get 8 assists? We're not hitting a thing...

Rondo's D was decent most of the time, got a bit worse towards the end.

In those first few seconds, our D looked good. Then two mins in, everything went out the window and now we're carp.

Seriously, we look disinterested.

Regular season? Why do we bother :(

Cs are just being outhustled at the moment. It's halftime, we've been playing poor and we're only down by 12, this game is still winnable. I'd prefer if the guys started driving to the bucket instead of looking for jump shots.
