Celtics @ Nets - Saturday, November 7th

[Wolves2011]

Rondo keeps the Celtics in the game for the first 3 quarters, then Doc embarrasses him by keeping him on the bench for the whole 4th quarter.

WTF!!

Yea, he shouldn't "keep us in the game" though, we should have blew that team away out of the gates.

Agreed. Rondo had a good statline and played the passing lanes well and was rewarded, however, he has been reaching too much the past two games and the opposing PGs hav reaked havoc. Excuseable, in general, against Nash (though reaching in on him is an exercise in futility and just makes him more dangerous), but Alston was frequently blowing past him. I'm glad Doc sent a message. Your paychecks are coming every two weeks like clockwork, your attention to detail should be just as consistant. The defensive gambling was a point of emphasis in the offseason and it should be expected to improve.

He was being "picked off" and no one stopped progress long enough for Rondo to get back into the play. If he is being picked off, someone has to help out. The big men were slow and late to turn back, Rondo's man.

meh, 7-1.... first in the standings league wide.

If that doesn't satisfy, its a tough crowd.

Ugly win, but as many have said. A win is a win. And for those complaining, get out more, breathe in some fresh air and enjoy life. Being miserable is not a good quality.

Very ugly win. Ray is playing way too much. We put in JR with the second unit and he was lost. He needs to play a few minutes per game with Rondo and Paul as Rays replacement. If he can't cut it, trade for a sg.

You can clearly see he is much more comfortable on defense. On offense he runs away from the ball...

So far, we are a hard team to figure out. We looked great in the first 5 games, and below average in the last year. We are a tired team right now. We have played the most games in the league at 8. That's 8 games in 12 days.

I'll take a 7-1 record with very little rest and hardly any practice time. Go Celtics.

I wanted to give Scalabrine some props. The was a key to the win in this game. The played some great defensive and made two big baskets. Also another solid game by Shelden Williams.

Let's not forget that Scalabrine and KG are still rounding into game shape. This team should be better around Christmas time with BBD and TA back and KG and Scal in game shape.

I think that's all it is. The team is sluggish and we've played a lot of games in a short period.
