Like I said after the rocket loss. This is going to be an embarrassment on national TV and the Celtics will lose by at least 15.

So to all those who say we panic, when is the time to panic? Lose 18 of 20? Lose 24 of 26??? when? this team is BAD... I would not be surprised if we lose to the Raptors... this team is THAT bad now.

Perhaps you forgot about the 7 possessions we had when we still had a chance but we turned it over 6 times instead.

I can't believe I feel like this, but I'm not convinced we can beat the Raptors at home.

Third place in the Eastern Conference. Not where I imagined us to be before the season started.

We beat up on scrubs. Check the February schedule and tell me 3rd seed is inconceivable (another word jfs will probably have to look up).

I have been playing or watching bball for longer than most of you have been alive, and Paul Pierce is my guy win or lose forever. However, he has had an awful game, and Bron is playing incredibly well, simply unstoppable. Last year, in the playoffs, Paul outplayed Bron overall and when they both scored 40+ in Game 7. Paul also outplayed him in the first game of the season. Tonight, he has obliterated Paul - demolished him. It galls me to say it, but it is what it is.


PP is playing poorly because James is doing a a great job on him. James is that good. You are simply delusional if you think that the celtics have a shot in a 7 game series. The cavs are simply the better team.


And, until this losing streak, your constantly, continually, neverendingly negative HAVE ALL BEEN WRONG. And you will be wrong again, and hopefully will banish yourself when we start playing well again.


This is more than just a losing streak this is the Celtics completely and utterly falling apart before our eyes. That much is obvious when you lose 7-9 of games against powerhouses like the bobcats, knicks, warriors and the rockets at home without their best player.

Back to the drawing board---I REALLY hope the rest of the league thinks we're finished---C's need a real challenge.

Rondo can't be this bad as a starting PG in the NBA. He was a non-factor. Missed shots, made turnovers, and didn't create for Paul or Ray. We got to get our guys open, and we need another ashotoer and some more gosh darn length. What the hell are you doing AInge?

I really believe Doc is doing this to piss the refs off because this is obviously not going to work.

John Henry did a very smart job by strengthening the bench today.
