Q at the 6 minute mark, 4th qtr

Both teams have picked up the defensive intensity and a hard fight to the finish is in store. I'll credit the Celtics for continuing to work though adversity.

celts inbound along the side with 12.2 sec left. Ricky takes it to the basket and slams it home. West gives the foul on Bibby who will go to the line. he hits both FTs. Ricky misses a 3 and Greene gets the rebound and back to Ricky for a 3 as time runs out. We now have our first 3 game losing streak of the season and are 0 and 3 on the road trip. Another disappointing loss. But at least they kept fighting and didn't give up when they were down. We HAVE to get better on defense and take better care of the ball. Once again we had 24 turnovers with blount leading the way with 6. I am not giving up on this team and still have hopes that they will turn this around but I am getting a bit discouraged...

Celtics fell tonight and are thoroughly frustrated at their inability to close out games. Once again, they tried to go small and it did not work. Turnovers and poor ball movement spelled doom for the Celtics.
They remain in poor form in my opinion and the season is possibly slipping away. Although, it is tough to eliminate yourself from playoff race by New Years Day.

Wow, a depleted Kings lineup and we still get killed.
They made us look foolish with the Princeton offense. They either pick and rolled or pick and popped, and we didn't know how to defend anything they ran at us.
I'm not sure what to think anymore.

Looks like Perkins is having a tough road trip, but OTOH he never gets minutes throughout the game unless he is off to a terrific start, and even then Doc seems to forget about him. He will never produce consistently without consistent playing time. Jefferson seems to have played well as did West and Banks. But our defense is horrible and we once again lost out on offensive rebounds 6-13. And turnovers once again killed us, and we take only 17 FTs to their 35, which IMO spells too many jump shots.
We are riding Pierce and Davis too hard, and running too much of the offense through them, and Blount and Raef make a very poor big man combo. The way Jefferson produced, there is no reason for him to play only 17 minutes while Blount (33 min) and Raef (27 min) play mediocre basketball.
