22 on the shot clock. 27 in the game. Game is tied and GS has the ball. GS inbounds. Fisher drives to the basket and puts it up and in. Fisher strips the ball as the Celts bring it down. Doc was trying to call a time out and the Celts didn't but inbounded the ball and then had it stripped.
Another very disappointing loss.

Wow!!!!! What a horrible ending....... RD makes a brilliant Tommy Point style dig out. Only to not have his number called and Blonut take an 18 ft jumper........ Warriors rebound call time out..... Fisher drives the lane and makes a nice layup after their team passes it around. Pierce rushes up and gets stripped as time ran out......... Just a lousy loss to a lousy team we should have frankly beaten handily...... Where does that put us? ? Let's see - the bottom feeder's row. We do need to make a trade to shake things up here. We need to fire Doc Rivers and get a real coach in here ASAP. We probably need to fire Danny Ainge and blow up this entire operation. Just a devastatingly bad loss to a bad team.

Ike Diogu is like a mine Amare Stoudemire. Too bad we couldn't trade Blount for him. We'll be lucky to get Olakandi for him. He cannot defend or rebound to save his journeyman career.

That's exactly why we need a real PG on the team (nothing against Delonte, but he's not a true PG). First of all, they should have called a timeout, and secondly, why is Pierce bringing up the ball? Oh well, I'll watch the game later and get depressed for myself.

We actually outrebounded them, despite a surprisingly poor effort by Perkins, but our other two weaknesses, turnovers and poor defense, came back to haunt us.

Yes, turnovers are killing us and our weak defense is atrocious.
With the way both teams shot the ball tonight, rebounds were scarce for both teams.
Something needs to be done. Our players are losing confidence and Doc seems to be losing his players.

I say it will be a hard fought battle that we lose in the 4th. Trying not to be a pessimist, just trying to be a realist. quote] Unfortunately, this time I was right. This team plays absolutely the worst defense I have ever seen from a Celtics team that I can remember in a long time. I think it is the system though, not necesarily the players.
