Celtics @ Pacers - Saturday, November 1st

Has rondo taken even ONE jumpshot in the 3 games of the season?

We need him taking jumpshots, and not regressing.

Just an ugly game for the Celtics. Nothing really to be concerned about, they will bounce back. It is hard early in the season to do back to back games.

Danny Granger is really turning into a very good player.

I just gained a lot of respect for Danny Granger after watching that game. He's a really nice player offensively, and defensively. He's a really tough kid, hope he can get his teeth fixed.

Ray Allen has not looked very good thus far and I believe House is something like 3-for-18 shooting. The key last year was they would have either House or Posey get hot most games and Powe got hot towards the end of the season. Getting 15+ most games from House, Powe, or Tony Allen would really help this team. Powe has looked very good thus far, so that's a good sign. Rondo has looked like Ben Wallace from the free throw line, so I hope he can improve on that in the future. I agree with the Pacers fan. It's far too early to tell, and I think the Pacers will be much improved this season.

that was the worst game I have seen them play in sometime. i mean they had 24 turnovers. that was the exception I hope for this year. Tommy after the game said he expected them to come out flat because the 4am travel time and they just played the day before. Granger was nasty even after losing his 2 front teeth.

Powe's our 6th man this year for sure. I think Eddie's playing Pruitt into some game minutes sooner rather than later. Really even the starters are still getting settled in.

there's no way we could have the same season as last year and I think it's good to get an early wake up call like this game to remind everyone that we need to bring it every night. As for losing Posey I'm in the camp that says we should have signed him. Yes, it would have hurt us in year 4 of his contract but who's to say we couldn't have traded him after 2 years or even one year. There is no doubt our bench is weaker this year and no matter how man points tony allen scores I just don't have the same level of confidence in him that I did in Posey.

Main reason we lost is that Paul Pierce had a bad game. This team last year could overcome just about anything - except a bad game by Paul Pierce. When team started 30-3 last year, Paul had 3 really bad games.... and we lost all 3.

Second reason is back to back home/road games are usually a loss anyway.

That was an UGLY game.

May the bball gods bless us with great fortitude and skill on our trip to Houston. We are going to need it!

Just one of those games...that and Violet Palmer as a ref. I'm not worried.
