And it's not even todays loss. I didn't even watch and it's obvious Doc didn't take the game seriously.

But I'm just not excited. Right now.

anyone with me?

It was a pointless game... what did you expect?

Doc got some valuable playing time for Shav, TWill, and DJ. I think that's all we can expect from a game like this.

With the tragedy in Boston, you would think the team would be playing with heart no matter who's on the floor.  I know better than to count out the Celtics but this definately doesn't bold well for us.

I always said when I left the Celtics, I could not go to heaven, because that would
 be a step down. I am pure 100 percent Celtic. I think if you slashed my wrists, my
 blood would’ve been green.  -  Bill "Greatest of All Time" Russell

I'm always excited for the playoffs ... and if any team has proven in the past that it takes the post-season muich more seriously, and has that ability to reach down deep and "flip the switch", it's the Celtics ... especially with all this city has gone through recently. This is a much different club in the playoffs, and these boyz are ready to PLAY!!

Go Celtics!

This team lives for the playoffs.  Don't be fooled by a meaningless reg season game.

I'm hype.

Yup ... I wasn't referencing tonight's game with my reply, but rather the general malaise of the last couple of weeks.

I'm excited but cautiously optimistic. Any word on KG's health?

As far as I'm concerned, the regular season ended a month ago on March 18th after our spectacular game vs Miami... We went 16-7 including that game post-Rondo (note:  4 of those losses shouldn't even count, because they happened during he Barbosa/Crawford transition).  We proved that we could hang with any team in the league.   Then the team took a month off to prepare for the playoffs.

Admittedly, I haven't bothered watching a game since March 18th.  Boston had nothing to play for... so I had nothing to watch for.  I'm completely serious on this... after March 18th I literally said, "Good way to finish out the season.  Now we'll have a month of nonsense as we twiddle our thumbs and wait for the playoffs".  Everything over the past month has been as worthless to me as preseason games.  It's a veteran team. I knew better than to get suckered into lackadaisical purposeless end-of-season halfassery.


So... I'm fairly excited for the playoffs.  We're a solid team that finished the regular season going 16-3 and has had a month of rest.   

Would you be more excited if the regular season officially had ended on March 18th?... probably.  So suck it up, and gear up for the playoffs.  Hopefully you didn't waste too much time watching over the past month.  Those games didn't count.

Given the current state of events in Boston, the uncertainty of Kevin Garnett's future beyond this year, Paul Pierce's resume of huge games vs. the Knicks, and the renewal of the Celtics-Knicks rivalry over the last several years, I am super excited for this series to get under way.

Trying not to get ahead of myself, but I'm especially looking forward to Game Three in Boston.

Can't wait.

While I'm looking forward to the playoffs starting and will continue to root for the C's to win, my excitement for this team went down when Rondo did. My expectations just aren't the same as they were in October/November...I'll cherish what could be the last games from KG and Pierce though.
