We went away from Al towards the end there. We probably would have lost anyway but still....I feel like once Al gets his numbers the rest of the team goes away from him

Could of been a closer game if we wouldn't have played so sloppy in the first half. It's hard to have three losses in a row after the great month in January but I still have to understand we are a rebuilding team. With three first round draft picks, cap room, and an all-star in Al Jefferson it's hard not to be excited about this team.

^ plus it's not like we've been playing our A game while still keeping it relatively close to good/great teams. I'm uber-excited about this team

Ich machs mal in Deutsch ;)

Bisschen positiv deine Sichtweise. ;) Ich hab mir das Spiel komplett angetan, die erste Halbzeit war echt erschreckend schwach von den Wolves, stark angefangen mit 80% FG oder so dann aber nachgelassen stand irgendwie mal 18-17 für Min und Ende des Viertels 24-29. Im 2. Viertel war man gar nicht auf dem Parkett, lauter Steals für Boston, so gut wie keine Rebounds geholt usw., obwohl KG nicht mal dabei war, und so stands dann 44-62 und ich war kurz davor auszumachen ;)
Im 3. und 4. Viertel gabs dann zwar ne kleine Aufholjagd nach zwischenzeitlich 21 Pkt. im Rückstand, aber ich hatte dennoch nie das Gefühl, dass sie wirklich dran geglaubt haben das Spiel noch drehen zu können und immer wenn man mal wieder einstellig hinten lag, zogen die Celtics mit 2 leichten Körben wieder davon. Also ehrlich gesagt war ich nicht sonderlich beeindruckt von den Wolves heute, das Spiel wäre mit größerem Einsatz gewinnen zu wesen gerade weil man viele leichte Ballverluste hätte verhindern können.

Short version for not-german speaking people:

Told him that I am not so optimistic after seeing the whole game because I was not impressed by the way we played and think this was easily winnable if we had hustled more but had never the feeling that we could win this game although we came close to 5 points or so in the last quater. Celtics were always under controll of the game even though KG did not play. :(

sure I'm making it easy but compared to the mess we had earlier this season it is interesting to see how they progressed.

Seriously? We been taking baby steps for years now. When is it time for us to pick our sorry a$$es up off the floor and learn to friggin walk? We play in a league where 75% of our competition is RUNNING and we're still taking baby steps? Pathetic.

KG didn't play last season when the Celtics played in Minny, and he missed this one because of the flu!? It seems a little strange that he wouldn't blow his nose and battle it out with his old team. He's totally scared of Bassy Telfair.
