This is the TRUE REASON why we are playing SO BAD!

[Red2]

I think the reason we're not playing as well is that rondo has either been passive or has been turnover prone. he had 9 turnovers last night . when he doesn't play well it impacts the whole team.when we won 19 in a row it was mostly due to his good play. ray allen has also been in a slump and last night his d was atrocious. doc should have gone small when charlotte did. our best line up last night was when we went small at the end of the 3rd and got back in the game. in the 4th we reverted to give paul the ball and everyone else stopped moving. charlotte on the other hand continued to penetrate and get easy shots ( although fleton did hit 2 huge out of his a baskets). ray allen played offhis man and allowed dribble penetration and open shots all night long. doc should have played pruitt more

You guys have nothing to worry about. The Cavs are playing heartless basketball as of right now. I'm just baffled of how we played over the last 7 games and sure you guys are too. Maybe playing each other will spark us to playoff form.

lol at some of the comments. It's a slump, but they'll get through it. We do need bench help - maybe it's time to play Sam Cassell. He was suited up last night ....

Teams are playing to stop Rondo and Ray.

KG is hurt and not playing well.

Paul is the only silver lining but he can't do it alone.

Our bench is blah.

Right now we need other guys to step up and Rondo and Perk aren't doing it.

Its really funny how all you Boston fans are arguing, and so worried. Come on you guyz you lost a few games, so what. Look at your record. Every team goes through this, even the best teams. Relax people, you are saying stuff like you are the Oklahoma thunder or the warriors. lolz.It only means that the chase to beat the bulls record of 72-10 is pretty much over. but that's it, you guyz should relax and kick back. It only becomes a concern when your team loses like 10 in a row.

It's definitely the Celtics bench (no depth): its lack of scoring and terrible ball movement. Right now the Celtics have no dependable bench player who can distribute the ball. It's not just about getting a big man. Having a big man off the bench is useless if there is no ball movement.

Hey guys, laker fan here and I know I'm supposed to be part of the whole rivalry thing but I gotta say I really think this whole "losing 6 of 8" thing is NOT that big of a deal. It kind of reminds of the championship lakers in 2000-2003 where they weren't necessarily the greatest team ever but they were a pretty darn good team that really no one could mess with when it mattered. I guess my point is that right now all the comments of "they're lackluster, their age is showing" blah blah the whole age thing will work out in your advantage and IF the lakers make it to the finals I look forward to a rematch.

Ok... back to the rivalry.

P.S. not trying to troll, just know how it feels when a team is really good but underperforms
