I hate to agree with you, but thats the way it has looked as of late.

A lot of that has to do with Doc playing small ball against the other teams bigs.

I have one season of under 8 basketball under my belt and I could have coached the Celtics to a win tonight - Doc has to go

It is Eddie House. It is Eddie House. It is Eddie House. It is Eddie House. It is Eddie House. It is Eddie House. Got it, Ainge and Doc?

Well I guess the bobcats crushed the celtics spirit. I mean I understand these losses happen but losing 2 in a row is just bad. This team is just bad now. Don't be surprised to see them play 500 ball the rest of the year.

All the credit to the Wizards. They were being pummeled in the fourth (down 14, for crying out loud) and showed everyone who wanted to win the most.

For the second game in a row, hats off to them.

IDK, I'm not one to affix too much blame on the coach, and obviously they played assertive for only a short stretch offensively tonight, but, they were up by 7 by the time several of us recognized the need to reinsert a center into the game. Doc allowed 5 more points to slip away before making the adjustment. With the amount of time remaining in the game at that point, I believe Rivers is more culpable for the end result than what you suggest.

Enjoy losing in the first round again. Your team will never be anything more than mediocre.

Meh. You guys still have to prove as well. Not sayin I think you guys will lose in the 1st round, but it could happen. Just ignore him, tough loss for you guys.

pathetic, we lose to a poor below average team again, back to back, and at home. No excuses, we did this. Last game i had issues, we lost this game all on our own.

Thanks, SD. Looking forward to many exciting battles together. These past two games were UNBELIEVABLE. Could have gone either way.

I never thought I would say this but... this team really misses Pollard!!!

I think the win in Detroit made this team complacent. When you know you can play with the big guys, sometimes it's difficult to find motivation play all the other games (which are the vast majority).

Every team has slumps and rough stretches. This will all be over soon, and everyone saying stuff like you will just look all the more ridiculous.

Please don't tell people to shut up in your own little way. Thanks.

I hate losing like that, but hey we did and people are going to vent for a while. As long as this trend stops and we get things going again I'll be happy. We weren't beating the Bulls regular season win record this season or something anyway. Just need to win more than we lose and win when it counts.

I think the reason why were in the slump is because of RA's slump.

Celts17Pride · Post #279 » by **Celts17Pride** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 3:15 am

If you think about it, every game recently is the same. In the fourth quarter Doc plays small ball, the offense struggles and because KG is the only big in the game there are no offensive rebounds and a lot of 2nd chance points for the other team.

I just described the last 5 games.

Bitter much? Poor, below average team? The Wizards are 20-16, and that's 20-11 in the last 31 games.

It's not like you lost to the Knicks.
