Unless we find a way to keep Paul out of the paint, we will not win this game. All they are doing is setting screens for Paul and freeing him up to create. Our offense is non-existant save maybe a couple of Paul Pierce threes. This is dreadful basketball.

Oh wow. We're making a run. So freakin what? i am so tired of the same old Celtic BS. They play like crud, then make a run in the 3rd quarter, maybe even go up by 4 points, and end up losing in the 4th by 5 points. everyone kind of scuffs the floor and makes excuses and talks about how they are young and i so don't care. I'd be ashamed of myself to play like that.
They are like a US congressman politician. They are charming. They run a half way decent off season campaign. They say they are going to do stuff. then they don't do it, point fingers at stupid stuff, tell you you should support them, and then vote themselves a pay raise.
We just have to look ourselves in the mirror and realize
TA is not what we thought he'd be.
Al j probably isn't either.
Gomes won't be an all-star or a starter on a championship team
Perk could be as good as Eddy Curry but for some reason isn't (maybe if he ever learns not to foul as though it were important)
PP isn't Jordan or D Wade or Lebron and if he's the best player on the team we'll probably never win anything
bassy can't do anything if everyone around him is a dog
West is a good backup on a good team
There's not lots Doc can do about this
The only thing we can do is turn to those that still look like maybe someday they'll be what we hope they can be. We pray and hope that GG becomes the next Tracy McGrady and that Rondo becomes the next better version of Tony Parker, we pray for Oden, (or better yet we trade PP for him) and turn the keys over to them and bench the losers. if we're lucky maybe Powe becomes the next kenny thomas or if what Corliss Williamson could have been if he had become as good as maybe some thought he could be.

I know we cut the lead to 6 but Chris Paul was on the bench. He will come back in after the time out. Oklahoma is no joke this year. They will knock Memphis out of a playoff position.(Or they will knock out a deserving Pac-10 team like Sacremento).

The C's are keeping Paul out of the paint and that is helping their defensive cause greatly. Missed FT's are hurting both sides.
