Celtics vs Timberwolves Gamethread - Friday, January 25th

[P2]

Relieved by the win, but, a part of me thinks the slap in the face may have been more beneficial in getting this team to get back on track. We'll see what transpires in the next several games.

Same here. I actually wanted the loss. Ainge needs to set things straight and help Stoudamire get his buyout.

Well, a win is a win. This team needs to fix some things pretty quickly.

OK KG needs to take more than 5 shots the next day.

Kudos to Pierce. While the results don't show it, he rediscovered his man game tonight.

[slump]

KG is so intense it's scary sometimes.

Wanting a loss should never be an option. I don't care how bad they played. Win the game, fix the crap in practice. Ainge doesn't need a loss to do his job.

darrendaye I don't disagree but after the raptors game I really wanted to win this one

[Al n' Perk No Layups!]

I can't stop laughing over how that last minute went, especially the failure to inbound, that was freakin unbelieveable.

The thing is what is the issue? I cannot put my finger on it. Coaching? The players getting tired? Our PG's?

[UGA Hayes]

Why is everyone so surprised. those guys brought everyone down to there level last year when they were Celtics, why not do the same as Timberwolves.

[Celtic Esquire]

WOW.

We really that one out of our butts. Thank goodness Perkins knows how to play Jefferson straight up.

[Al n' Perk No Layups!]

Ray needs less than 5 shots.

[UGA Hayes]

Man Ray was awful, he needs to stop dribbling.

Well, then we got the best of both worlds. Because this kind of feels like a loss but it doesn't count as one. Which is obviously important as we want homecourt advantage.

Wanting a loss should never be an option. I don't care how bad they played. Win the game, fix the crap in practice. Ainge doesn't need a loss to do his job.

What I meant is that there should be some kind of incident that makes Ainge do something. Because he ain't doing nothing right now, and we really need a backup point.

celticblog is down..anyone have the link or adress to the post game radio show?

We played 30 seconds of good basketball tonight. Let's hope we were saving it for Orlando.

That is what they need to figure out. Personally, I think teams are playing more zone and the Cs are not responding to it. Ray struggling again certainly doesn't help. This team does need a backup PG. Rondo is struggling and I'm for him playing through it, but when he is out, we need a guy who can push the ball and find open guys.

[hickfromfrenchlick]

Man Ray was awful, he needs to stop dribbling.

I don't see that as the problem. I think he's actually very effective taking it to the hole. Unlike Pierce he doesn't draw extra defenders. And he has a nice touch inside (usually).

Ray will be OK. Our problems are bigger than that. Teams have figured us out a bit. Unfortunately, we need good coaching right now and I'm not sure we'll get it.

Starting point. I don't see how Rondo deserves a starting job.
