After 55 games, I would hope a NBA basketball team would know each other and understandeach others strengths and weaknesses. Basically, the Celtics have shown no improvement this year and Doc is just trying stuff for the sake of trying stuff. There was no preperation whatsoever put into this season. That is why we are where we are in the standings.
The Celtics face another whipping tonight. They appear to have given up the ship.

While we have seen individual growth by players, we haven't seen team growth and that has to be put on the coaching.

If you want to measure a teams competitiveness find how much time they spend more than 10 points down. So far the Celtics have spent about 8 minutes of the 17 played more than 10 points down and they had maybe 1 lead very early in the game. Not a good sign.

Wouldn't it be awesome if both Leon and Jefferson pulled out a 20/10 tonight? Jefferson already with 4 blocks!!

Q at the half - The Bucks vs Sixers is a much better game to watch at this point.
The rest of the games are pretty much over.
Wichita St was whipped in Creighton. Their season is pretty much over too.
Celtics need to find a spark, right now they are flat and just going through the motions. I hope for their sake they get a win before the end of the month or else the public bickering will begin. Pierce and Jefferson are playing poorly tonight. Green got torched by the Jazz on both ends. West is largely ineffective. Powe brought a little energy but the rest of the team needs to show up and play.

Celtics went to Pierce down low and got back to minus four. Let's see what the Jazz do to adjust. So that is encouraging start for the green.

Those turnovers are simply killers. Once again we are witnessing the finished product of poor coaching. We simply have not been able to correct our mistakes time and again. This has got to stop.

Back to the game with Utah up 76-64 and Celtics have turned the ball over 10 times in the quarter and 5 times in a row. We have 19 TO's in the game but the 3rd quarter was terrible. Very sloppy ball handling. Al has 7 of them and West 4.

Celtics need to learn how the NBA game is played. Their confidence is completely and thoroughly shattered. It ain't gonna happen with Doc Rivers.
