…is that when you sink to tonight’s level, your fans will abandon you.

Vinnie, Title 18, nba-is-the-worst, et al — the field is yours. I have nothing more to say.

there is absolutely nothing to say.. im speechless

where are you now?

Nah, I’m ome of those optimistic realists. They’re just fine tuning a few things for the playoffs.

2 more years of ’Sheed. Ugh.

…had a monster night! 6 whole rebounds, what’s up with rondo recently? No steals, 8 assists, been like this for a few games now

yes they’re not as good as we thought. but anything is possible in the playoffs… including a first round exit.
until then, we’re just improving our draft position

just play every playoff game on the road.

Except I’m glad that I went to a Mario Kart Tourney at my school instead of watching the 1st half of this game.

Man.

What are you guys talking about? Michael Finley is making a huge difference. He made two more baskets tonight!

Injuries, aging, whatever the reason. The fact is we are no better than a .500 team now. Like many others, I have high expectation on this team, but it is one big disappointment now.

This was the first time I was so disgusted with a game, I actually changed the channel.

The matchups with teams like the Hawks, Grizz, Bucks are just not right for us, in the meantime, we’d wish for a team like the Raptors for the first round coz they are our best marchup.

done

instead of practice…

what can they watch? maybe one flew over the cuckoo’s nest. there’s some basketball in that.

time has passed this unit good bye.
they can’t hang.

I seriously wished this was a bench problem instead of the starters. Its seriously embarrassing to have ur starting 5 play like this

You posted after last night’s game that tonight was gonna be bad. I said I didn’t think it would be. Unfortunately, you were right, I was wrong. I’m sooo tired of listening to KG say they have to get better and they will. When??? I really don’t understand what’s wrong with them. I know they are not THIS bad! I think Tommy post-game may have been on to something. He talked about how Doc’s defensive schemes require a huge amount of effort, and he questioned whether this team was physically capable of exerting that effort. Maybe he’s right. Maybe they’re just not.

he’s an embarassment to his own legacy.
pierce is getting to the same point.

Wow! What an ass kicking tonight. We are so cooked! Pierce looks very old now. What would our cap situation be if Pierce opts out and he and Ray are off the books? Paul might think he could get more money this summer after LeBron, Wade, etc. get theirs than in 2012 after a strike season and a new CBA. Might be our only hope unless Danny is willing to wait until KG’s off the books then he can open the checkbook.

I have seen some great times, I have seen some good times and I have seen some bad times but I have never, in more than 50 years, been this disappointed in a Celtic team. I cannot stop watching nor can I stop cheering for them but this is getting very difficult.

What game have you been watching?

The past two weeks we have seen Perkins outplayed by every decent center tonight is no exception.

While Rondo is forcing his passes and not fronting his player. He gets beaten 9 out of 10 times going around picks. I’m tired of hearing about his steals…..he causes the frontline players to have foul or leave their players.

I’m a 50+ fan of the Celtics and I concur with PACF….this is totally dissapointing.

Where are our coaches in all this futile play?

I went to see the Mass. high school hockey super 8 semifinals games at the Tsongas center and saw two great games. I have no more comments to make about this team. It has all been said.

I am sick and disgusted. This is unacceptable. And we don’t have a future. I see the writing on the wall. Welcome back 1996–97 season. ML Carr days. oh well.

1 point for the knicks

They sucked so bad. Can’t wait for management to blow it up.

.

i feel bad for the season ticket holders. they deserve better for what they pay. if these guys don’t turn it around, this is it for doc. i like him but i won’t miss him. it is way more than age and injuries. they have the big d, ie doubt. doc has robinson thinking pass and he is lost. pp is thinking drive and he is lost. rondo is thinking rest on d and he is lost. who the heck knows what perk is thinking but he is lost. kg is probably thinking all the right things but he just can’t do them like he used to. ray is probably thinking about what just happened to uconn and calhoun and he is lost. poor finley. he thought he was coming to a contender and after watching these guys, he is lost. sheed needs to lose, a few pounds that is. oh well, i can at least turn off the set.

And talking about next season. This season is far from over. Listen, when this team gets on a roll again come playoff time, please don’t try and hop back on the bandwagon.

Nobody want them.

It just breaks your heart to see this carnage….I’ve been a huge and loyal fan
for over 30 years, this is one of the worst efforts I’ve ever seen. How can I explain
to my 8-yr. old son (a big fan at his early age), when he asked me a while ago: “Why are they paid too much money for this? The big three are paid $52 million this year
for this?”

the reasoning is that say Paul stays put next year and collects his 21 mil. Then he misses a year (along with everyone else) because of the strike, then resigns but with tighter contract parameters, due to the new CBA, for say 3 years and 30 mil. So that’s a total of 51 million over 4, really 5 full years. If, on the other hand, he opts out this summer and hits the mother load and finds a team that misses out on LBJ, Wade, Bosh etc., and can offer him 5 years and 75 million, maybe more. That would be almost 25 million more in total. Is it possible Paul and his representation would be enticed by that scenario? Just passing on what I read. Makes some sense. Ainge will probably make sure he stays a Celtic for life though.

I wouldn’t give Pierce the veterans’ minimum two years from now. By that time, he’ll be Chuck Finley.

I’ve never been off the bandwagon. I was on it when we sucked. Just interesting to see how Ainge will try to work the future. Cover all the bases. No matter what happens this year there will always be a next year. The future is coming.

You be right but it only takes one team to take a stupid pill to make the offer. So many teams have planned for this summer that when they miss out on the big fish they may very well panic and look to someone to buy.

No I don’t think he will opt out. Only stating an option. Money is always an option. He will retire a Celtic.

At least Eddie House was a Celtic with some fire and pride. And it would be nice to have Bill Walker to guard some of the athletic wings from time to time because Daniels and Tony Allen sure cannot. Oh yeah, Rivers would have to play him.

Positives: BBD hit perhaps his first 15-footer of the season. Finley probably should be 6th man with the lack of talent on the rest of the bench. Doc Rivers again gets points for being a great motivator – his kid is lighting it up and being recruited all over the country.

1st Round: Lucky to win in 6, can win in 7
2nd Round: Pfffftttt!! Early exit, most likely in 6, why? No home court
                       edge at this early stage.
Unbelievable!!! A team with this much talent & savvy can do more than this…
Nobody really knows what’s happening WITHIN the team, we can only
guess. One thing’s for sure, we can’t see the effort or professionalism from
this highly-paid bunch of athletes who are getting paid to play the game
they love?!?!

…I’ve come up with this:

Tonight was the bottom. Not the Nets game, as many believed. From this deep darkness, there is only one way to go, and that’s upward, toward the light.

They did not come to this game lazy and unwilling. I believe they tried in the beginning to play well. But the Cs’ shots weren’t falling, and the Griz hit a few tough ones (including one lucky ridiculous 3 that went off the glass.) And that’s when they just stopped trying, and kinda gave up. That includes pretty much everybody except Ray and Sheed (of all people).

But this kind of total carnage is going to stick in their craw. They will not soon forget the sound and feeling of being booed off the court in their own Garden. Imagine that… our Cs were BOOED OFF THE COURT BY THEIR OWN FANS. The same fans who would, normally, do ANYTHING to support their team. That’s gotta hurt. And that pain will, hopefully, stay with them the next time they are tempted to throw in the towel.

If anything can awaken these guys, tonight will. Now we must hope that the awakening will be complete by the time the first playoff game begins.

Oh, and one more thing: Perk’s gotta sit for a while. And see a shrink. Something’s not right in that boy’s head.

you people who think the C’s could win a first round playoff series are being ridiculous. they suck.

BIG DADDY CANE

why does everything have to be about winning anyway
we got some cool personalities on this team.
it’s like a running sitcom.
