how many times have the C's messed up a 3 on 1?? Seriously...I guess we're gonna have to erase this game out of our memory...
stick Rondo in there..House is proving to be useless as he can't hit a shot or a layup...

I really think Garnett's molding thing is killing us...Garnett is OUR offense..It looks like his missed games caused us to forgot how to play around him and thus just cry in the corner once we miss a couple shots...No movement without the ball, no driving, no passing..Just lobbing to Garnett and hope he scores..If not just shoot a 3 and miss...Maybe Doc should try playing Garnett with the bench(Powe not Baby) so he can get the ball every time and then play the lineup we've had when Garnett was out some large chunks of minutes since they really seemed to gel and bond..I don't know..I think we just need to blindly walk out of this road trip, go home, and get some good ole practice and talks...Chemistry is completely off as we can see on fastbreaks and passing and for a team that gelled so quickly it also lost it very quickly...Baby needs to sit out and miss a couple games as he looks slow and Perk looks like he's afraid of holding onto the ball...Ray/Pierce/House never even got into the offense, too much 1 on 1 crap...

yeah practice is what we need. We are just out of sync. I kind of thought we'd have a letdown when Garnett came back, because we were playing completely differently without him. Just need to get the chemistry back. 3 games coming out of the break, against 3 of teh best offensives in the league back to back to back doesnt help either.
I also think some of weaknesses are beign exposed right now. Which is good now rather than later. SOme of our inexperience is being shown. we just need to get better.

This is why we need the Clippers to buyout ET so we can have a backup PG with a freaking clue. TA and House are terrible PG's. On another note why in the hell is House playing more minutes than Rondo? I guess I forgot that we are coached by Doc Rivers. |

I think we were trying to get back in the game and hoping house could hit an outside shot because pierce and ray were off. our shooting was way off this game. Still dont think we need cassell. He isn't going to solve a 3 on 1 when a guy can't make a simple pass. that has nothing to do with the pg. these were breakaways where the guy stealing the ball was ahead of the defense and just !!!GREENIAC!!! up. We couldnt even get it to the pg.

Nash loses the ball. Tony hits in the lane. Diaw hits on the baseline after some great ball movement. Tony lays it in. Diaw misses and RA rebounds. RA drives to the hoop and lays it in and draws the foul. He hits the FT. Nash is fouled by Tony. Suns inbound on the side. Stoudamire is fouled as he goes to the hoop. He misses the first. hits the second. Pierce pulls up and hits a 3. nash is fouled on the inbounds pass. He hits the first and misses the second. PP rebounds and throws it away. Suns dribble out the clock. Final score is Suns 85 and Celtics 77. Celtics have their first 3 game losing streak.

I'll say this though..After such poor defensive performances it was great to see us hold the Suns to 85 but yes, this stretch isn't easy and i expect us to go on a 4 game losing streak as Portland will look for revenge...Doc did alright, he can't make a team shoot better, just pissed they never started driving to the hole... Baby needs some time off too, Perk also looks sketchy, they guy looked like he had Blount's hands though he didn't play too bad..Ray seemed to make the worst turnovers i've ever seen and that really surprised me coming from him..Good thing we have the best record... Rondo's got to use his QUICKNESS..Man, he should've blown by Nash..Really he should blow by everyone..He'll learn..and happy birthday to him..22 years..he's getting old  |

Baby's inexperience showed on defense at times. He got completely owned by stoudamire on a few occasions. We came up against probably the best team in the west and it showed and some of what we have to work on showed. It also didn't help that pierce and allen were like 3-30 combined. That's not going to happen very often. That's why we lost.

Also, interesting stuff...We set a record sale in Denver, and Golden State(Suns sold out)..These West teams are DYING to get a piece of the Celtics, NBA's best team and the home arena's intensity has shown..Everyone's crowd has been crazy and i don't think we've ever seen teams get this pumped up to play us, it's like a playoff game which will only help us when we actually do get in the playoffs...I'll take 20 more losses in the season as long as we win it all...

What has happened to our rebounding? Golden State (not exactly the most formidable team inside the paint) out-rebounds us by twelve, and now Phoenix beats us up on the glass 50-32? It's like watching a different team out there.
Ironic how our defense finally shows up but it gets wasted because of one of the worst offensive performances I have seen in my life (not to mention not rebounding to save our lives). I have never felt so disheartened after a loss is a long time. Like I said earlier, I never dreamed a few days rest and getting our star player back would lead to our worst play of the year. Since our 29-3 start we are a very mediocre 12-9 and for the first time this year I'm starting to get worried. Seems like we are getting worse instead of better as the year progresses.
