This is some serious BS..Amare is like a little queen out there, i was loving the matchup against Garnett but he just slaps him like a girl once he almost touches him and the refs obviously go for him cause he flops and yells..Our shooting and offense is just really out of sync

The Celtics played defense for that one stretch when they held the Suns scoreless for 12 minutes and then let them score 12 points in a row. The suns have shot 18 FTs to 6 for the Celtics. Also the Suns are out rebounding the Celtics 28-13 and that is effort and hustle. PP and KG both with 3 fouls. KG and Amare are going at each other every time down. Surprising that they both haven't gotten technicals.

Amare should have 4 or 5 fouls right now. I can't believe he was able to nail ray in the head and get away with it. And then they call of that pansy  on KG. It's definitely 5-8 again.  |

KG will probably get toseed by the end of the game and the refs will reset Amare's foul count
But really, i bet the C's and Doc are happy with what they're at...Horrible offense, 30 points, Ray and Pierce 1/14FG, and your against the Sun's offense but yet only down 13 points..Just hope you can adjust and just HIT A DAMN SHOT lol...I would love to see us pull this one out..Maybe play Powe too cause i'm sure he'd help with the rebound problem rather than Baby who's just getting called for ticky tacky fouls...Refs forgot an obvious goaltend on Amare too but whatever...

But really though, i didn't notice this before but how the hell does Amare ONLY have 1 foul after all that crap with him and Garnett? God, i hope our shots fall in for the 2nd half and we pull out a win...Doc just has to hope they shoot better than 29%...DRIVE IT TO THE HOLE AND FINISH STRONG..

WTF are we settling for so many jumpers for anyway? KG needs to post up Amare just like he did on that play where he got the shot over him. This is dam ridiculous! If you want to get the outside shot going, work inside and draw some fouls. Man this game is frustrating and the Refs do not clal things both ways equally. Amare whines and hollers his way to a foul and KG is getting sucked into his game. And where the F is Powe?? When Phx goes big we need to go small. They got Diaw and Amare in at the same time so we should have Powe in. This second half better shape up or I aint even gonna watch. I cant bare to see the C's jumpshooting their way to a loss. Especially KG this is really ticking me off.

That flagrant on Perk was him being an enforcer. He was taking the foul for all the crap that Stoudamire is pulling on KG

I just watched part of the third quarter and we are playing like garbage. We've gone 4 straight possessions without scoring and have gone from down 8 to down 15. After our 5 game winning streak going into the all-star break, I never dreamed getting a few days rest and getting KG back would result in our forgetting how to play defense and taking several giant steps backwards as a basketball team. It's a good thing we got off to such a great start this year, because it gives us some cushion while we try to get our act back together, but our play on this road trip is light years away from our play during our first western conference swing.
