Doc called the team soft (except Delonte) and hopefully that will challenge the team to come out and play aggressively against the Pacers.

OH GOODIE!!!!!!
I WISH I WAS ON MY WAY BACK TO INDIANA TO WATCH THE CELTICS BREAK THEIR 11 GAME LOSING STREAK AND GET MY REVENGE FOR THE 2ND HALF DEBACLE AT THE RCA DOME.
I GOT 1 FREE PASS CREDIT ON AIR TRAN ALREADY!
Let's see some action tonight. And why the heck did Doc wait until yesterday to light a match under the players' !!!GREENIAC!!!? That should have been done two months ago after that opening night loss at home to Oklahoma.
