Tough Loss

Hey it happens. Give credit to Jason Richardson and the Bobcats. That's the crazy thing about the NBA. Every team has talented players. But can they put it all together and collectively care? Last night Charlotte did. More on this one later.

If Boston wasn't as talented as they are

I don't think it would have been anything less than a 30 pt loss. I watched large stretches (in between several flips of other games including cle-atl and hou-ny) and I can say for certain that this Celtic's team lack of offense may cost them a game like this at some point in the playoffs. Eddie House I'm not sure could have made a layup. He missed at least half a dozen wide open shots. If you look up & down that roster I'm not sure many guys played above "B" basketball. Nazr Mohammed had alot of effectiveness particularly down the stretch also.

Fair Points

But generally the Celtics don't shoot 4-20 from deep. Eddie House is usually a much more efficient player. And the Celtics have dominated the pick and roll on defense for stretches throughout the season. So I'm not getting that worked up about the loss.

Green Bandwagon: Celtics '08 or bust. Are you on the bandwagon?

Yeah I wouldn't be either

I didn't think I would say this given Ray Allen isn't everything to the Celtics you would think, but they have a more difficult time matching up with the Bob's then they do without him. The C's missed Allen's drive & kick ability on Wednesday night.
