Something is wrong with KG…there was a moment where DH was cruising down the lane and KG was coming to help and…I thought KG was either going to attempt a nasty block or give DH a major beat down hard foul. Kind of like a “this is my house” kind of thing. Instead, he weakly got out of the way and got run over and was charged for a block. I know KG is still taking it easy, but when I saw that I realized just why this “superior defense” aint so superior anymore. We’ve seen more bad D games then good ones…and I’m not sure why we should expect more.

The Headline said it all really,,,,, Ugly. This being the first Celtics game that I was able to watch live this year, as opposed to watching the highlights, I was really disappointed. It certainly was not worth staying up until half 3. The game, while being very ugly, wasn’t soul destroying as there was good stuff to build on. I personally couldn’t believe the putrid shooting from deep. Was it 2/18? That’s criminal. I also don’t understand why Ray isn’t used more in isos. Maybe it’s just me. Overall not too worried by this loss. Just won’t being staying up to all hours anymore if they continue to play like that.

I think the Celtics still are a title contender, they have the size on the front line to play against the top teams like Orlando, L.A, Clevland, Atlanta, Denver. The problem the C’s face is they are an old team, they struggle offensively because their go to guys are on the wrong side of 30’s. When you look at the Lakers, I know it’s early, but the C’s can’t beat LA without home court.The Celtics are a superior defensive team than the Lakers or Orlando, that is how the C’s stay in games and don’t get blown out without going 1/10 from 3’s like tonights game. Honestly the Celtics probably won’t come out of the East this year. The East this year is much better with quality teams than the east the year the Celtics won the title. Again it’s early but you can see how things are unfolding this year in the nba.

This game was not totally bad. There was a fighting spirit there. Something to build on. The Cs fought back. There was some hard play but not always smart play.

Ray Ray is a proven, bona fide shooter. Hitting 50% tonight. Ray got 10 shots! What is up with that? He must wake up screaming after witnessing so many ugly shots knowing he only got 10. The Cs are terrible at getting the ball to whoever is hitting the shots. Sheed took that last 3 after his fantastic steal while Ray was wide open on the other side of the court. I wanted to beat my head against the wall. Their motto is take the open shot not take the best shot or get the ball to the best shooter. I don’t know if they are oblivious to who is shooting well that game or if they are just taking the path of least resistance getting the ball to the open 1-9 man– not registering that he may be ‘open’ for a reason. Surely, the Cs have baited certain other players on the opposition to take certain shots. This can’t be a new concept.

Despite killing themselves from the 3 pt line & acting as if Pietrus is some stiff, the Cs had a chance to win. After the way Pietrus played in those final games last year, it was a real shock that there was such a lack of respect for Pietrus’s 3pt game. Hello Deja Vu all over again.

Sheed is so good around the paint. Why does he not feel & understand that? KG could dunk the ball or at least draw a foul dunking the ball, but instead he wants to shoot the 2ft…1ft…6inch…1millimeter jump shot, why? Throw it down big man! Even if it clangs off the rim, we will love you all the more for such ferocity!

Recognizing who has the hot hand, Discretion on 3s, & Having a post game at the very top of my offensive Christmas list. Please Santa……

Very impressive rebounding tonight. Offensive boards 14 to 7! Way to fight Cs!
