What I am seeing the past 7 games.

Celtics are 2-5the past 10 games and 3 of those losses are against teams that suck. I understand losing to the Lakers and Blazers but when you loss against Bobcats, warriors and Knicks there is some reason from concern.
*KG is not the same player he was last year. His points and rebound are down. Last year he seemed to step up and hit big shots. This year he has not done that. I am not sure if this is his age or perhaps he is hurt.
*Defense Celtics have given up what 24 fast break point tonight. That tells me the Celtics are not getting back. Team have figured out the Celtics defense and it has shown during their 2-5 record. Teams seem to be getting dunks and lay-ups as well as uncontested 3 pointers.
*Ray Allen is hit or miss. He seems to start off strong but toward the end of games is is MIA. I am not sure what to expect from him anymore.
*Pierce has been playing well. He seems to be shooting better. Problem is KG and Allen are not stepping up.
*Doc perhaps needs to give POB some playing time as well as Pruitt. It is obviously that the Celtics are physically and mentally tired. They looks slow on defense and at times look lost on offense.
*The lack of bench is killing the celtics.
*To many turnovers.
*Ainge needs to make a move to pick up a vet. Getting Croshere may be a start. I would work hard to get Marbury if he is released.
*Hate to say it but Celtics look a little old out there. This is obvious because the losses against the bobcats, knicks, blazers and warriors of of whom have young players.
*I am very concerned about the west coast trip when they play against good team.
I know most people will read this and say I am overacting. However what I have seen during these losses concern me. You cannot lose against teams with records well below 500 without raising some red flags.
