Nice little run to make things respectable. West Bassy Allen Gomes and Jefferson is working as they are playing the Bulls tough. Gomes is by far our best player and West and Bassy are playing well too.

The Celtics flat out stink with Pierce gumming up the works. The team responds better with him off the floor.

This is very tough to watch. The Bulls are finally living up to their hype and the Celtics are living down to the media expectations. It basically is not Boston's night and probably not their season.
I just cannot see how Boston can get back in the game unless Doc elects to try playing the kids and benching the veterans, particularly Pierce.

This team can't win and it has nothing to do with actual basketball ability. If all the teams in the league formed a basketball video game league they'd lose. If they formed a spelling bee league they'd lose. If they all had a phone number contest with other teams they'd strike out with the ladies the most. If they formed a math trivia league they'd lose at that. And they'd lose all those things for the same reason they lose at basketball.
