I actually like how we are spreading out the points. We got like 4 or 5 players with 6 ot more points. We are just missing a lot as well.
What is up with Chris Paul? I wonder if he will dish 10 more dimes in the second half.

Not a good half by the Celtics. The PG, C, and SF matchups are killing us. We have no continuity or chemistry out there. So far I see no improvement in team performance. Things have to change or I will personally hand Doc his pink slip in Seattle on New Years Eve.

The other thing I am pissed about this game is how Doc has the line up changed so drastically. Why play all those preseason games and not work on a lineup. I understand sometimes you have to make matchups work, but I think he screwed up our chemistry with the lineup he started.
I think someone mentioned this already.
I am not so sure I like Doc anymore either.

They have played so bad so far they are embarrassing not just themselves, but they are embarrassing me. On opening nite. In fact they are embarrassing the city of Boston. Get those losers off the floor and let someone who cares about Red, Boston, themselves and the game of basketball play. That means GG and Leon Powe.

i'm not sure I want to blame this on Doc. When a player plays with no heart whatsoever it's his fault not the coaches'. Then again the coach could maybe "motivate" the player.

We are fighting back a little. However, there are issues everywhere. The level of play needs to pick up if we are to win this.
