Not Enough

Gallant effort, but they couldn’t overcome the combined effect of the officials and Marbury.

Doc should have kept Walker in longer. Marbury should not be playing yet, never mind starting.

Not expecting to win until rondo is back, enjoyable game with a terrible result…Need to get healthy or it may be some time until we get the 50th win, with this loss we equal as many regular season losses as we had all last year.

Just go with the #3 seed and prep for the playoffs. If we are going to get anytthing out of the M & M boys it needs to start happening soon.

Just make sure the Celts starters are rested and healthy with 5 games left in the season so they can get some run, preped and primed for the playoffs.

Doc needs to cut Pierce and Ray to under 35 min. or less per game, enough of these 40+ min. games. Play 500 ball the rest of the way, playoffs or bust baby.

Ray shot lights out, House shot pretty well too. Miami coming off a double overtime game, tired and they sitll took us out. Biggest mistake we are making right now is playing Ray and Pierce 40 min. a game. Does anybody remember how terrible Ray was first round verse the Hawks last year? If Doc doesn’t get it, Danny needs to step in and tell him. The rest of the season is meaningless. If Ray or Pierce have no legs for the playoffs or either gets injured playing 40+ min., it is no Doc..

I understand getting Marbury in there since he needs to get his legs in shape, but man. Doc needs to sit on Pierce and Allen over the next week or so. No need to burn them out over these games.

Powe needs to be the first big off the bench, once we’re back to our full roster. The ONLY reason I see Powe being limited in minutes is fouls, but I’m also not convinced Doc isn’t sending him out there to give hard fouls and change game momentum for the starters and Big Baby. Powe is playing better than BBD. Period. When Davis is back, Doc better widen his eyes to this. I’m tired of saying “See Doc? Powe actually CAN play at PF”

He did a good job keeping the bigs from fouling out, but I don’t understand taking out Walker. He was having a great game and then they were on that run. So why would you take out a player who’s helping the run? Sometimes I wonder because I really like how this kid plays and we didn’t even see Giddens. If you ain’t gonna play them both at least cut Giddens(Never will see much time under Doc).

So get another big until Big Baby, Scal, or KG comes back. Enough of running PP and Ray into the ground with these +40 minutes games. PP looked really bad out there and Powe had another great night. I just hope Rondo will come back so we won’t see much of Marbury anymore. I’m starting to feel like it’s not gonna get any better till we get BOTH our starters back.

they got zilch from marbury and mikki. i don’t mind marbury getting mins. because he has to play his way onto the team. there was too much at times of bad paul and doc left pp and ray in way too long into the 3rd period. the team was going down the tube and those 2 were playing without rest—bad doc. the refs flat out allowed too much miami rough play and the first 2 fouls on perk were ticky tacky. walker looked ok and once eddie was allowed to stay in the game, he was a positive force. and by the way the miami pa guy is the absolute worst schmuck in all sports and then some. i have to turn the sound down. if i were at the game or a miami player i would be embarrassed by him.

walker played well as did ray ,powe and perk. Pierce was double teamed a lot but was careless with the ball ( 4 turnovers) and was a non factor. we could have really used a little more fire from pierce tonight. against orlando I thought he also played poorly. Marbury is struggling with his shot but more shockingly his ball handling is weak. He keeps getting stripped. I have to say that where I was once veryconfident that he would help us now I’m not so sure. He’s struggling way more than I thought he would. Moore looks like a stiff to me. he doesn’t move to the ball very well and he can’t get a contested rebound. His outside shot is really suspect.

But Marbury’s problems do not seem to be from being out of shape. There seems to be some mental disconnect, something not clicking. Certainly he is in good enough shape to make at least a few good plays in the first half, hit a shot or two, etc. He does not seem to have anything there. It is as if he is not in the game mentally, is all I am saying. It could be because he does not know the plays yet, but my sense is that is not the problem.

So where was the rest that Doc promised for the guys? That was my biggest worry coming away from this game.

Let Marbury get his legs in shape running laps at Brandeis.

Hey, I’ve found a new villain- Jamal Magliore. Man does he love to commit cheap shots. Can’t wait until we play them again and hopefully baby will be back and he can perk can get some pay back

I agree with that prior comment about Doc taking Walker out during the run. I noticed that too, and it really irritated me.

If he can’t get in this game. Danny keeps telling us this kid is good but Doc never plays him. we all know that doc won’t play someone unless they’re good in practice so giddens must stink in practice. I can now say that Gabe Pruitt will never be much of a player. he has been given numerous opportunities and every time he gets in the game he makes a stupid turnover or mistake. Danny should trade him in the offseason because he’s not the answer at the backup 1 or 2 and unfortunately I don’t think GIddens is either so going into next year we’re going to need some guard help. We should have drafted Mario Chalmers. I still don’t know why Danny didn’t pick him

Marbury is talented, he can hit big shoots, no question about that. But he is no young chick either and has not played in more than a year. It is hard to ask a 32-yr old guy who has not played prof ball for 18 months to junp in and play at NBA level in a new system. We just have to pray that he will recover in time. But then, for a guy at his age, chances are his skills may have diminished for good.

As for Moore, well, the Celtics knews what they were getting when they signed him. He is not doing any worse than my expectation.

0 points total from Marbury, Moore and Pruitt in 48 minutes — in a 9 man rotation no less. Giddens should have seen at least a few minutes — it’s not like these guys produced more than he would have.

The lack of production just cannot be accepted and have the C’s expect to win a game. Marbury and Moore have looked worse since their first games and Pruitt looks like he’s regressed since the start of the season. C’s need good health to win since good health will keep these non-contributors on the bench in the playoffs.

For those who foresee 1, 2 or 3 of these players coming back next year, I highly doubt it.

The past few games showed that Ray Allen could still put up big numbers when he was involved in the offense long enough.

Perhaps Bill Walker was the bright spot other than Powe.

this is hard to watch, but i cant agree with certain tv analysts that these are must win games for the Cs right now. We’re going to be in the playoffs, and regardless of what seed we are, if we can get healthy again were going to knock teams over, so lets do everything to get healthy!! dont burn out pierce!!!

At the rate, we can kiss the 60-win mark goodbye. That may come back to haunt us. This year, I think a team needs 60 wins to have home court advantage thru the playoff. Not to sound discouraging, but we don’t want to play game 7 in Cleveland or LA.

I’m hoping/thinking it’s a chemistry problem. These games are painful to watch. Injuries at a very inconvenient time and I just hope this doesn’t hinder our success in the playoffs. I don’t know how long it will take for us to get back in the flow once everyone gets back.

If anything, last night shows how much home court is important. If it’s a close game and you have a superstar like wade on your team, any and every call will go to him – shooting or taking it to the hole. There’s no stopping it. That’s when the game becomes lost for the opposing teams and that’s an undoubtedly what would happen in Cleveland, let alone L.A.

It’s all up in the air at this point.

I hated how Doc left Leon out there in the 2nd quarter even though he looked tired.

Also is Bill Walker the bigger version of Tony Allen? He has absolutely no shooting touch, isn’t his FT % lower than Perk?

Just let Marbury run a few more games before we jump on him, also Eddie is not exactly a world class PG. If anything, the best PG we have now is Paul Pierce

Doc is on record as saying that guys that don’t practice well don’t play. Last night we’re short handed and Giddens is the ONLY player that doesn’t get in the game. There is no conclusion other than Giddens has not earned minutes with his play in practice.As for someone saying Pierce played well did you actually watch the game? He went 1 for 3 in a crucial ft situation down the stretch. He turned the ball over 4 times and continuously left his man ( Moon and others) open for 3’s. Against Orlando he was also subpar – sorry but it’s true
