At this point I am looking for anything positive to say about the Celtics, they have been playing awful of late, can't shoot, can't defend, can't win. They have now lost 5 in a row.
Last night was a little different, they defended a lot better, and they played pretty well just missed shots, like the old saying it's a make or miss league. Last night for the Celtics, it was a miss league.
The positives, Rondo did everything in a losing effort, 23 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds. Everyone else, was awful, yes Paul Pierce scored 22, but turned the ball over in 2 key parts of the game. That pretty much did it.
Jason Terry is really pissing me off, I'm trying my hardest to defend him because he is a nice guy, but he has been a disaster. I almost am thinking that Barbosa should get more PT over him until he works his shit out.
Carmelo also killed us in the 4th and finished with 28 and there was nothing between he and KG.

If you're looking for a silver lining, I think the Celtics are more of a "coast through the regular season" team these days and they try to "flip the switch" come playoff time, have everybody healthy and rested by not exhausting the minutes of the older players during the regular season. They didn't look that impressive as a 4 seed last year and took Miami to the brink last season. Maybe they're doing the same this season. The bare minimum to make the playoffs and meet Miami head on in the first round.
At this point that's all you hope for. The difference last year was they were a too defense...not so much although I think the numbers are scewed. They are faster and have more possessions on both sides which makes the points per game rise.
I'm hope to play the Knicks in the first round. I still think in the playoffs we are the second best team. The name of the game is avoid Miami. A 7th seed is what we want. We can be the Knicks.
We need a big man to do any of this though. If sully wasn't on the team, it would be the worst rebounding team in nba history. Not sure what Danny has up his sleeve but we need someone. And I think Wilcox being out is hurting us more than people are giving it credit. He rebounds well, and him and rondo had a little thing going on the lob. Easy buckets are rare on this team and he had like 4 a game which makes a big difference.
Jason terry sucks....trade him for the big man and give Barbosa minutes...I agree. This isn't his style and he's. waste pale.
