We are getting a bit sloppy again... hmmm our sloppiness coincides with Blount's reinsertion into the game. We have to be careful and not get complacent with a lead and let them back into it. We have to keep playing hustle defense and not let them back in it. We haven't been able to do that this year so far. We always let them back in it and either lose at the last second or have to claw and scrape for a win. I am hoping we can keep the lead this time!!!

Pierce is having a terrible game. The refs seem to be ignoring a lot of fouls on us. We are giving up too many O rebounds and turning it over too much. I sure hope we get back to playing better defense and rebounding or we are going to let this one slip away.

Even Walton and the announcers are seeing how we aren't getting any calls. I am getting nervous as they let Philly climb back into this one... only 4 point lead now.... We need to play harder... especially on the offensive boards. We are giving them too many second chances.

Lead down to 3 and Blount turns it over again..... I really am getting nervous now!!! We are giving this one away. PLEASE pull it together guys!!!!! Philly down by 1 and they have the momentum. I don't like the way this is going at all!!! Blount has 6 turnovers in 20 minutes.... for every good thing he does, he does 2 bad things. And the 6ers take the lead.

With Veal and Stonehands out there, we don't have a chance.... Down by 4. It isn't looking good.

DOUBLE OT!!!!!! I REALLY am too old for this. I am wondering the same thing as Walton... Where have Al and Perk been in this second quarter when we were letting them get back in this? Thank goodness for Webber's idiot play!!

Blount just lost it for us. He gets the rebound and then tries to call a time out we don't have and then lets them steal it. Why Blount and Veal have been in there I don't know because for every good thing they do, they do 2 bad things.......
Sooooo frustrating.... We could have won it in the 2nd OT if Doc had told them to foul so they couldn't take a 3. So frustrating and so disappointing....

I do not know what to say. There's really nothing I can say.
To be honest, this has been one of the most grueling years of being a Celtic's fan that I can ever remember.
It is TRULY just not their year. It's saddening and frustrating. It seems as if there is absolutely NOTHING that we can ever do to win a ballgame when we need it.
We lose a lot. We blow leads. We can't finish games. We choke in the end. I feel that we are the Byun Hung Kim of basketball. We are the worst closers. We are choke artists. We make bonehead plays. We have no maturity. We have no identity. We have no coach. We cannot play defense. At times, we cannot play offense. We cannot rebound. We just cannot win.
There is absolutely nothing I can say about this game other than it was long, and that we should have won it in ALL of the last 4 periods. We did everything possible to lose this game. We tried hard. We hustled. But is seems like it is never enough.
It is disappointing and very depressing. I am an optimistic person, but there really is not a lot to look forward to for this year.
People can sugar coat it, and say, we played hard, we played tough, but you know what...we still lost. It does not change the fact that that is how we always play, and that we practically always lose.
Tommorrow when we wake up this will still be a loss and our record will still be 14-22

Here is Webber describing the final steal:
"I was very cognizant of the fact, don't touch him," Webber said. "I saw him hold it out there. He was looking at the ref. A lot of times they'll hold the ball close to their chest and he didn't do that today."
Thank you so much for "valuing the ball" Mr. "Veteran" Stone-hands Blount.
