I actually like having Cassell over Eddie House. House CANNOT handle pressure defense PERIOD. Cassell can. House is a great shooter trapped in a SG body but he is not a creative PG while Cassell is. I don't care if Sam was 50 yrs old he would still be a better PG than HOUSE.

I blame Doc's stupid ass for playing Sam we he has been struggling on the road. He should have gone to House off the bench going into the game. He least he should have done was go to House in the 2nd half when he saw Cassell was barbage again.


Cassell kills this team when he is in there. I got so mad last night when he was taking fadeaway 20 footers with three guys in his face that I almost turned it off. Does he know the meaning of "pass"?
It's still 17 to 11!!!!

sam looks old and slow ( which is perfect since garnett, pierce, allen and PJ also look old and slow). I don't know if Sam is the reason we're losing but I do think that sam stops ball movement and that the energy we had all year long off the bench with eddie , tony etc has disappeared. I think at this stage that eddie needs some minutes. cassell can not guard gibson and in fact that cost us the game last night. If sam doesn't hit one of his first 2 shots he should be pulled right away because he has not other value. as crappy as I feel about our inability to win last night's game and to win on the raod in general consider that if we shoot a better % we win easily. we had a lot of easy,open looks that wouldn't go down. we will shoot better at the garden but Pierce garnett and allen all look pretty tight to me so I won't be shocked either way. we could win easily or lose easily. I'm just saddened by the fact that a team that looked so good in the regular season looks so old and crappy in the post season. the inability to win a play off game on the road is going to be the undoing of this team. it's sad to see it happening but there it is. I feel like we've suffered for a long time as celtic fans and then to have a great year it felt like we were back. Now I feel as low as I ever have . Even if we win this series it won't feel like we deserved to win it. we have been exposed as a team that can't win under pressure. It's just fing sad is what it is

You know what my favorite part of Sam's game last night was? As soon as he looks over to the scorer's table and notices Rondo about to check in, he went and forced up a shot, just to get his shots up. Then comes back to the bench, acting all pissed. What a mother ****! Those of you with Tivo, check it out.

If there was a bigger cancer, I have yet to see one. This guy must be terminated. Poison his food, Tonya Harding his knees, bomb his car, whatever it takes!
