Celtics suck right now.

So Depressing…

by ziggen on Jan 7, 2009 10:01 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

we'll be going 0-4

No way can we beat the Cavs… even with them missing big Z… UGH.. this sucks…

by Mizzy21390 on Jan 7, 2009 10:03 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Agree….Id say the Cavs destroy us ….look at the way they dismantled the Cats…who we could not even beat in OT.

by bopna on Jan 7, 2009 10:08 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

We might as well play the cheerleaders

maybe one of them can play defense

by ziggen on Jan 7, 2009 10:09 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

At least they are entertaining to watch

…very entertaining.

God bless and good night!

What was the lead when Glenn Davis and Gabe Pruitt went out? Five points? Six points? Then they put House on Brooks and House goes under the pick and Brooks nails a key three. How can you go under the pick on a shooter like Brooks? INEXCUSABLE.

Then the offense in the last three minutes— missed jumper after missed jumper, while the totally useless Perkins stands around, and they double team off Rondo, who is afraid to shoot.

Except for Garnett’s one great defensive play and Ray Allen’s drive to the rack, the starters were a big pile of horse manure—- again.

whos ready to get thumped by the cavs?

and yeah, what are we 3rd in the east now?

by TheAncientRivalry on Jan 7, 2009 10:04 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

I'm not watching that game

Lebron probably will score 100 pts with the celtics defense right now or lack there of.

by ziggen on Jan 7, 2009 10:05 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Not even

playing at home saved their poor play….the 4th qtr was just awful…Pruitt was the only one who showed up in the 4th and he was yanked after about 2 min.

by bopna on Jan 7, 2009 10:05 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Trade needs to happen. The bench is God awful.

by DesertCFan on Jan 7, 2009 10:08 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

silver lining!!

The way Pruitt played, Doc should finally realize he should be part of the rotation, and if I were Doc, id even play him more than house right now who is downright awful on the road.

by bopna on Jan 7, 2009 10:12 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

The bench?!

What about the starters?! They have absolutely no go -to down the stretch plays other than handing the ball to PP and letting him try to jack it up over the defender. It reminds me of the season of doom. There is no reason we should have trouble scoring at the end of games. We can blame the bench, sure, but the starters shoulder just as much if not more blame. Where are those 25 point leads they used to build up so the bench had no pressure?!

by EJPLAYA on Jan 7, 2009 10:14 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Very Dissapointing

Celtics have been very disappointing especially with this lost to Houston. They have no hunger and no energy. It seems they are happy enough winning #17 and have lost that killer instinct. THEY NEED TO MAKE A MOVE!!! THEY NEED SOMEONE TO BRING SOME ENERGY AND SPICE…….STARBURY???? lol maybe, maybe not,,,,

Retirement?

Maybe if the WEAK 3 would retire it would be ok if we keep losing.

Easy now Ziggen

Don’t hate. This team will be back. Count on it! Expect a big game vs. Cleveland. That’s right. You heard it here…

by Amager Celtic Fan on Jan 7, 2009 10:57 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

And the Rockets did it with Yao and four scrubs. They were without McGrady and Battier, and Artest fouled out.

And still the Celtics couldn’t get a decent shot.

by Brickowski on Jan 7, 2009 10:09 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Amen!

This is nonsense and the C’s better go back to the drawing board to get 4-5 set plays to run at the end of the game when we need a basket. We just got punked by nobodies. The sad part was towards the end of that 19 game stretch teams didn’t think they could actually win. Now no one is scared of us.

by EJPLAYA on Jan 7, 2009 10:16 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

hey now

Brooks, Landry and Scola are no scrubs.

by grungedave on Jan 7, 2009 10:16 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Compared to Pierce, Allen and Garnett they are… but tonight they made the Celtics look like Scrubs

by ziggen on Jan 7, 2009 10:18 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

tough room

So anyone who isn’t a future HOFer is a scrub? Wow. Tough standards.

by grungedave on Jan 7, 2009 10:22 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Scola not a scrub

But he scored ZERO points tonight and trhe Rockets still won. It IS time to press the panic button folks.

by vinnie on Jan 7, 2009 10:23 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Wow! Glad I missed the game

Just got back to my hotel room. What happened this time. Bad O, Bad D? Both? Bad coaching?

PURE EPIC FAIL

They just plain sucked

by ziggen on Jan 7, 2009 10:16 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

just poor execution in the 4th qtr….11 points, 22% shooting…Defensive lapse on KG failing to box out Yao when the rockets were up 2 then Yao followed up a missed attempt…..just an awful slump this team is going through

by bopna on Jan 7, 2009 10:17 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Not only did we lose but

we have to listen to the worst announcing crew in the entire league. Can someone tell me how and Tommy has a job? He is by far the worst announcer in sports today or maybe of all time. I think its a complete embarrassment that we have all those banners yet we are stuck listening to the worst announcers in the business.

by sigmond floyd on Jan 7, 2009 10:16 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

I LOVE TOMMY!

How can you not love tommy? you must not be a true celtic fan……

by Celtics13 on Jan 7, 2009 10:18 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

He is actually a Celtics legend.

by Celtics13 on Jan 7, 2009 10:19 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Maybe as a coach or player

but he is an emabarrassment as an announcer.

by sigmond floyd on Jan 7, 2009 10:21 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I know we are in a slump but its not Heinsen’s fault. Gorman is a class act.

by MeatSauce on Jan 7, 2009 10:48 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Tommy is great...

I like my announcing with a dash of homerism.

If you don’t like it mute your TV and Listen to Max on the Radio or something.

Rondo doesn't believe in easy buckets...

by ManUp on Jan 7, 2009 10:25 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Slump...

they look out of gas at the end again namely KG… the back to back game explains something but why the hell it was rondo who caught the ball with 10 seconds left down by 4… did i see gabe hit some long shots earlier and how could he be on the bench?! the bench did alright tonight actually…

by hiro on Jan 7, 2009 10:18 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Actually no they arent

And are you even a celtics fan…you just made another post elsewhere

 “With all due repsect guys You guys have the worst announcers in the entire league. Tommy Heinsohn is the worst of all time. How do you guys stand it. How does he even have a job”

by TheAncientRivalry on Jan 7, 2009 10:21 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

First of all, no celtics fan would say that about Tommy, secondly you clearly said … “with all due respect you guys have the worst announcers in the entire league”
so now why are you trying to pretend to be a c’s fan? just wondering

And this is SBN a lot of different teams fans will come here.

Thats fine, I just am wondering why he posted as a celtics fan, its no problem just say youre a warriors fan…calling out tommy posing as a c’s fan is transparent

The Warriors?

Didn’’t they beat us too without 3 of their starters? Geezz things are getting bad. We lost to the Warriors?

by sigmond floyd on Jan 7, 2009 10:32 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

All I have to do is check your posting history, and you are a warriors fan dude, whats up?

by TheAncientRivalry on Jan 7, 2009 10:33 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

You should actually check out the Warriors board.

Way more active than this place. They play the Lakers tonight yet they are talking about the Celtics getting old and falling apart over there.

by sigmond floyd on Jan 7, 2009 10:38 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

yeah well, all that talk is warranted

and Id expect nothing else…it does not mean it will continue, people dont seem to realize that, they live and die by each game

Execution, Execution, Execution...

The Rockets were the Executioners as were the last team 6 that beat us. We are being out played in the final stretch of games. This is simply Inexcusable!

Guys the starting 5 is old,,, I mean really old. At some point

you lose a step. KG looks old, Ray is losing his legs late in the game and Paul is getting tired. This does not look good.

The starting 5

has 2 guys in their early 20’s, Pierce is fine, and KG and Ray are in a bit of a slump…doesnt look good right now…good thing its january

C's win Friday

write it down. They’re starting to come out of it (most of them). Friday, they’ll be back. They’ll have to overcome doc and the refs, but they’re going to do it. I can feel it.

another option is to bury the fakers on our home game..!

thanks vinnie, that is probably the most important thing of all, even if he shoots 35% we win 90% of those recent games. 11-51 is brutal

I feel like I’m back to the days before garnett and allen. man do we suck right now. we are so tight in the 4th qtr it’s ridiculous. perk and rondo have completely disappeared. I thought gabe gave us some life as did davis and that they should have stayed in the game. eddie, ray, garnett and rondon all sucked

by Red2 on Jan 7, 2009 11:03 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Disappearing vs. Not Getting the Ball

Perk and Powe are NEVER getting the ball…
I know there are many issues right now, but getting killed in the paint game after game is key. What happened to the post game? It was never stellar but it keeps teams honest and these guys need to touch the ball once in a while.

They continue to fold down the stretch

Now this is something that happened in the lakers game and has continued ever since…we’ve failed to execute down the stretch in close game after close game, and just seem to get rattled with the phsyical play they’re getting thrown back at em

by TheAncientRivalry on Jan 7, 2009 11:16 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Glad you finally agree

The loss in LA in the closing two minutes has been repeated over and over since then. Whats worse than losing to the Lakers? Losing the mental edge to the Lakers… That game has left a scar , at least it seems.

Call it old, tired, or what ever….but we need to go back to the basics

What Celtics have is Called a Slump!

What Celtics fair weather fans have is arrogance!

The Cs played a long hard season last year and they came up winners. They came back this year on track to lose no more than 10 games. That was NOT, is NOT, sustainable. They have an overall loss record that is just behind the Cavs and the Lakers. This, by anyone else’s measure, is an outstanding record. At the rate they were going they were going to peak too early. Maybe they already did.

The Lakers lost last night… I haven’t written them off. And they, (nor their fans), are writing themselves off. The Cs won in a streak, and unfortunately they’re losing in a streak. But they’re still a great team. I’ve said it before and it bears repeating: they need to peak during the playoffs, when it counts. And anyone here who doesn’t believe the Cs are going to be in the playoff, is delusional. If the Cs had kept on their previous pace they would have burned out by mid-March.

Any true Celtics fan would have more sense than to start hollering TRADE! Go to a game… cheer them on… give them the props they deserve for having an outstanding record.

Boo Birds Go Home!

LAKER vs CELTIC ’09

I hate how us losing is such big news on the national media outlets, especially ESPN, I’m sure half of them are already writing us off…we still have a top 4 record and are mortal after all…. Im watching the Nuggets vs Heat on ESPN, and they start blabbing about us losing, really? I guess that happens when youre the champs

by TheAncientRivalry on Jan 7, 2009 11:26 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

It does come with being the champs. When we weren’t winning, people here were complaining about the lack of press coverage. The media however, is producing a fraction of the amount of ‘writing us off’ that is occurring here.

ESPN is eastern sports network

celtics are horrible and espn loves them no matter what. knicks bobcats warriors. champs dont lose to losers.

both teams struggling but rockets come out as winners…

i honestly think the celts are overrated…

by EveryHoustonTeamRox! on Jan 7, 2009 11:50 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Fairweather fans, wow.

The celtics are in a slump, anybody notice that there was a NINETEEN game win streak going before this little bump in the road? The Celtics are going to a have a good practice tommorow and will go to Cleveland ready to go. Expect a huge game out of Rondo and Pierce, and all of a sudden all these “fans” will be say they “never doubted”.
Also, the bench clearly isnt weak, we are still a top three team in the league with the “weak” bench we have. Doc needs to get gabe running the point for the second unit, and if they keep KG or Perk in to offset their lack of height, they should be a solid unit.

by swd515 on Jan 8, 2009 1:11 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

Problem is...

KG gets tired and Perkins tends to get in foul trouble. Add a PJ like veteran (Joe Smith?) and alot of problems disappear

by Fundefined on Jan 8, 2009 1:33 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I agree

The 19 game winning streak was no fluke, the team has just forgotten how to close out games and needs to go back to basics. The Cleveland game will hopefully be much better.

by Ruben Wolkowyski on Jan 8, 2009 2:53 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

silver linning is right, even doc can not not play pruitt now, his length, quickness, shooting, ball handling and defense can not be denied, please play him over house and maybe over allen for that mattter.

it is not the bench, it is not the defense, it is two things, one, the pressure, the exhaustion, have fun and two and most importantly, the offense – 11 points in the fourth, 11 points? the offense needs attention, its like the anti-d’antoni team. please pout some work into the offense.

by chicagogreen on Jan 8, 2009 6:16 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

lets not forget that we are getting not just everybody’s best game in terms of effort but that that effort is translating into improbable outcomes, odom threes, gasol toughness, brooks and felton looking like all stars, morrison going nuts, the knicks playing defense. some of this is just real low percentage stuff even if it is brought about by fantastic effort on all these teams part

oh, and artest not getting tossed, that was interesting

by chicagogreen on Jan 8, 2009 6:20 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

i hate to say it, but i think i would rather have d west and green (the pick) than ray allen right now, i know that is harsh and i don’t want to give up last years championship but man give me some youth and athleticism with the brain right now

ahh, i dont know if i mean that

How everyone was praising him at the beggining of the season and thought he’d keep it up, I knew all along we’d see old geezer Ray at sojme point

Im afraid not of losing couple of games, as i know in the end they will be in the Playoff.
And i dont care about Homecourt advantage, great team should win whenever, wherever they are going to play.

Paging Marcus Camby

Mr. Camby, would you like to play for last year’s defending champs? We’ve got this guy named Perkins, he’s just not cutting it….

by Tradetime on Jan 8, 2009 10:27 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

Blaming it on Perkins is ridicoulous, yeah blame it on the cheap center who played out of his mind to start the season and his hit a slump since injuring his shoulder, not the 3 guys making near or over 20 mil more a year and playing just as bad

by TheAncientRivalry on Jan 8, 2009 3:10 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Wow, some ridiculously stupid posts here

If you have a comment on the team or the game, please share it.

But if you feel compelled to bash Tommy Heinsohn, do this: log onto the Lakers blog and have at it. Or go in the community section and start a forum on it. A lot of us love him, his loud voice, his anger over bad calls, and his unbridled homerism. And we don’t want you taking up space on a post string that’s supposed to be about the game to bash him. And I’d rather not have to get my anger up and defend him, but I don’t want idiots to get away with bashing him for no apparent reason, other than personal taste.

He’s a color commentator. He’s not the reason they’re losing. If you don’t like him, turn down the volume. For many of us, especially those of us who live far from home now, every home game is a treat because Tommy brings Boston to us, and we know he won’t be able to do it much longer.
