Our pick and roll defense is slow..and when friggin Reggie Evans hits threes, you know you are in trouble.

This TEAM has looked putrid the last two weeks. I am not seeing any signs of them getting out of their funk

I am. They played great offensively in the 2nd half vs. Portland and are lighting it up with great ball movement against in the 1st Q tonight.

The D has been brutal, but I think that's the least of all Celtics fans concerns. Even when they were losing their D was very, very good. It'll pick up as the game goes on, and if it's just an off night for the D...it'lll be fine next game. Can't really be concerned about the D when they've been great almost the entire season.

Pruitt knocks down a 3.

Doc, stop going small. Posey is not a 4. We get grossly outrebounded when Posey is playing power forward.

There are no interior defenders in our lineup right now. What is doc thinking? They are dunking at will.

No one even comes close to contesting Smith's layup, but I guess you are going to get dominated in the paint pretty often when you put Posey and Scalabrine at the 4 and 5.
