I really don't se us winning this one.
We will need to play our best game this year to have a chance to steal this one.

The way the celtics have been playing, this might be an uglier game than Wiz vs. OKC. Let's hope somebody does something inspiring in this loss to at least give us some hope for this season. I hope we make the playoffs, but would prefer that we don't b/c we'd just get to play the lakers and I'd rather get a lotto pick.

Boston is 18 - 1 at home, and we have zero momentum entering this game. I doubt we have a chance.

Here is the good news.
We don't have to be disappointed if we lose. lol
We are going to get spanked, especially if Rafer is going to take 13-15 shots.

I wonder when he'll begin to understand that he's a career 39% shooter. I don't really hate him but the guy has no business of taking more than 10 shots per night.

What if he goes 13 for 15?

Our team will still lose, because it means we played no defense.
And Yao and T-mac will have 9 shots each.
Rafer should pick and choose (time running down, T-mac or Yao doubled, basically if he is the last resort), not try to shoot it becuase he is open(he is open because Teams know he can't shoot). Yesterday's game, he tried several tear drops (ughhhhh)
Yes AB is a slump, but i rather have him start and gain experience vs trying to force Rafer to be our starting PG, who obviously is declining because of Age.
The funny thing is, this year his FG% is almost the same as his 3pt FG%. 35% vs 34%.

Can probably see Head going off on him for no playing time.
Yea this team is done. Its sad but when I watched what the Hornets did to the Lakers last night...I realize that we just don't have what it takes to win anything. About time to start thinking about trades and the 2010 free agent class.

Funny thing is Iggy, you know they're going to end up playing a fantastic game tonight and winning in Boston because that's what they do. They tease us with visions of "hey, MAYBE, JUST MAYBE" before they remind us, "OHHHH YEAAAA they really DO suck!".
It's inevitable!
Here's to our victory tonight that will precede the 5 game losing streak to follow. Woooooo GO ROCKETS!

Artest is just out of control right now. He needs to keep his head.
