Doesn't matter if Kemba/Tatum/Brown continue to be put your head down ball hogs that are only looking for their own shot. Celtics have to move the ball.

Larry Bird is one of the greatest Celtics of all time and never held the ball like Walker, Tatum and Brown do every game. Never. Maybe Stevens should be showing the team those videos.

Pierce/Garnett/Allen never held the ball and continuously look for their own shot like this current trio does

I'm starting to feel like we shouldn't be favored to win the championship anymore. Good win against a top team like the Rockets I'll get right back on track.

This team is doing a number on my mood and overall mental health. I'll be fine because I'm already used to my life sucking lol and have developed a multitude of coping mechanisms. But it occurred to me that others might be struggling. Please don't let the team and season impact you on a deep and personal level, it's not worth it. If you need to talk about it, that's what your RGM Celtics friends are here for. Share your thoughts here or message me if you want. Or of course chat with a therapist. Love you guys.

Pierce, KG, and Ray were a good fit because those 3 had different strengths.

Pierce was the scorer and closer.

Ray was the shooter.

And KG was the big man who could score inside and outside.

What this current Celtics team have is 3 guys who love to dribble, dribble, dribble then shoot or turn the ball over.

When we win, it will be Marcus' fault! Lets fn go, times running out and there's way too much talent here to not be a 4 or 5 seed.

I would have said the board would be on death-watch if we lose to the Rockets after two humiliating defeats at home. But would anyone be surprised? Does anyone even care anymore?

This will be the game that turns this season around on our way to a deep playoff run.
