C's Win 8th, Beat the Heat

Nice job Po. However, I think you are looking at Cry Me through rose colored glasses. Not exactly green kool aid you were drinking last night, was it? :D You know where I stand, so I’ll say no more. Take care my friend, aQualung….aka The AC…..

To beat a 1-7 team in a last posession tells me:

-Miami is formidable and will become more so as they get used to each other.

-We’re not as good as most people think we are.

-Our three best players are wearing down already because of their minutes….Particularly Ray. Keeping them healthy is a lot more important than winning every single game. Danny had better find some established vets or Rivers had better give Davis, Powe, and Pruitt some non-garbage time.

I thought KG, Ray and PP looked tired tonight. I am concerned about the back to back games and travelling this year. I saw it Bird, McHale and Parrish when they were there ages they get tired quicker then a few years ago. We have a strong bench the more we play Davis, Powe and Pruitt the more rest they will have and the refs won’t call a foul when they walk on the court. We saw how the Red Sox handled their pitching staff so the players would not get burnt out by playoff time.

We have found our weakest link. Doc, wake up and smell the coffee. Walter McCarty has been reincarnated, his new name is Brian Scalabrine.

if the celtics won on your tape, then does that make them 9-0 now? if so, watch it a few more times please.

I think it’s still November, hold on let me check my computer, yep it’s still November. How many posts have we had already concerning the number of minutes the new big three are playing. I can see this argument during the dog days of the season, but not in November.

“Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.”

Good write-up Po. I like the fact that you credit Posey for his overall game, but noted that he took some ill-considered shots in the final quarter.

I don’t like regular season games where players are going against their old teams (Blount, Davis, and Posey). The extra emotional baggage tends to throw things off balance in odd ways.

Brian Scalabrine never looked so good ;)

We go 8-0, and what we get are multiple posts for our tenth man who played six minutes in the entire game. Who cares, for crying out loud?

What impressed me was that Miami played this game as if it were playoff basketball. That is the toughest I’ve seen a team play us on D and play us like that for 4Q.

I think with Wade back, Miami was trying to make a statement that they can get back into it. Even though they lost, Miami still made that statement. It all boils down to if Shaq especially becauses of his recent injury issues over the past few years and Wade can stay healthy.

We fell asleep out there and when it got crunch time, we forced it into KG even though he was double teamed. We needed Pierce’s one on one and although he missed the drive late and hit the game winner, that was needed. Too much dribble not enough passing/movement.

Steve Nash is older than all our big 3 and he was #2 in MVP voting last year, and actually won the MVP 2 years in a row prior.

Defending champs Spurs have 10 of 14 if I can count right players 30 years old.
