Believe me, deep inside we didn't want the win tonight. It's like you think you want to win, but you just can't because you've had enough of it. You just can't.


Sounds like your team is impotent?

I guess having no depth will do that?

And did just that!

Sweeet win - game of the season so far, obviously

I'm loving it. J-Rich and Nazr were just fantastic, again, and got solid support from a number of others. Played a good, balanced game... this kind of play is what I've been expecting on a consistent basis this season. Hasn't really gone like that, of course, but I still think the capability is there. Especially with Nazr around now. Maybe this game can turn things around, more than what it's been.

No Ray Allen and Glen Davis obviously helped out, but still, they have a superior team. Just not tonight!

i haven't read what Celtics fans are saying. But I hope they are accepting this loss.

We played awesome tonight! We deserve to beat this team and every other team in the NBA. We are not an Expansion team anymore. This is how we should play every night.

If your stars are sick of winning you should be able to rely on your 2nd tier players to get you over the line. If you have no depth and no 2nd teir players, you have no plan B to get you the win.

Don't try and cheapen us taking you behind the wood shed tonight. We beat you in every aspect of the game, and tonight the better team (on the night) won.

Which was us!!

Gotta give it up to you guys. The Celtics didn't come prepared, and I'm guessing the team just sorta assumed it'd be okay, but you can't sleep on a team like the Bobcats. You've done this to us once, and here we are again. Richardson was unstoppable. I really think you guys are better than what your record suggests.

Pretty much the same thing as every other loss. Most are accepting that we were outplayed, some are blaming the refs, and some are calling for Doc to be fired.

Yeah, those guys just kept going well

I think Mek will probably take that and better from it. Has to.

I agree with all of what you said, except the fact that we have no depth. House just didn't show up tonight, and Big Baby (who was out) is a major part of our bench. You really wanted the win much more than most of our players tonight.

Great game BobCat fans. The BobCats definitely deserved to win this game. The BobCats out hustled the Celtics all night long and took it to the them. Great game. Mohammad and Richardson where outstanding. Good win.
