This game is all but gone I guess. For folks following later on, Abdel Nader got fouled on a 3 pt shooting, and Alvin Gentry got t'd up up for arguing. For some reason. Abdel Nader was assigned to the technical free throw as well, which means he will have to shoot free throws. AND HE MISSED ALL 4 OF THEM. Night all. watched it but couldn't believe it... I mean it was hilarous. It probably was the first time it happened in an NBA game, right? It has to be. And it has to be AGAINST us. It basically was all downhill from down there. the lead ballooning all the way up to 20. Geesh. |

I think Brad needs to tank up a few games till Kyrie and Jaylen comes back. We can't seem to be able to win with the bunch of guys we have in hand. right? Why not tank up another game or two then? We still have that bit of a cushion I guess, which I hope will still be there at the end of the regular season.

Injuries take a long time to heal, the longer you rest the better...I think it can rebuild stronger than before because now the body knows it needs to...but it takes time...why put any more energy into this season?...other than playing the rest of the wankers we have and let them practice for some time that we are in a real game...

Has Brad had us double team Davis yet? I had a family fairwell party missed a little of the game but no double downing did i see. Others here im sure seen something else. Brad never makes a mistake. |

Brad won't do that and he gets full support from the cheerleaders. Good luck. |

Hayward is not going to step up. Morris has one good game and three so so ones.
Monroe has helped but ore big situation is just like it has been . No much.
Well once again we can say next year. Maybe Ainge can package some picks and players to move up in the draft if not it's still going to be a few years at best. The Sox are contenders this year thanks to a smart GM and what will be a great coach.
Stevens needs to pick up the phone call Butler and pack his bags and get out of town. He has no clue what so ever when it's gets down to the wire he fucks up every game. My prediction he will join a long list of collage coaches who failed in the NBA.
No Cousins No Kyrie all things equal . Smart is not the missing link he's gone anyway is my guess.

It's amazing that Rondo is still a source of much debate here and he's been gone for years. I'll tell you one thing, you can talk negatively about him all you want, but when he has decent players around him, he is one of the best floor generals in the NBA (over the past 10 years). You don't have to like his game, but he is extremely effective running an offense. He sets his teammates up like not too many other guards in the NBA. And he can finish at the rim, (we only have one PG capable of consistently doing that now).
I think many folks are disgusted with how he left - not handling being the leader but when you look at trying to lead with an up and down Jeff Green, I can see where major frustrations would come into play. Nevertheless, he's gone but obviously, not forgotten.
If Rozier could run an offense half as effectively as Rondo, the Celtics would be a much better team.

Then again, not many players do have that kind of feel for the game. I honestly don't understand why Rozy publicly comments that he feels he's a starting PG. He's so far from being an effective starting NBA PG that it's laughable. The most important requirement is what Rozy lacks, a command of the game (himself, his teammates, game situations, possession situations, his opponents, tendencies, IQ, etc.) and translating and leveraging that on the court. When, I mean if, he "gets it", he'll be a force to be reckoned with. |

This Davis kid is pretty good maybe they should try to get him He is pretty good, isn't he. Our bigs will be our eventual downfall. It won't be the play of Kyrie or Jaylen or Tatum. It'll be the mediocre play of our bigs. When we have to rely on Horford, this team is in trouble. He's beginning to remind me of Jeff Green with his inconsistent performances. I have never seen a guy who was just so reluctant to play aggressively. Lately, there are times when you wonder if he is even on the court. I really expected him to elevate his game with all the injuries. I thought he'd go out and average maybe 18 a game. But he has just continued to play his same game. Whether he's on the court with Kyrie, Jaylen, Jayson and Morris or it's Ojelye, Nader, Larkin and Baynes, he's content with his 6 shots and 7 rebounds. That's it! That amazes me. |

When R9R had decent players around him (for instance, 3 first ballot HOFers)... and he wasn't bored, he played very well. Great feel for the game.... but lousy temperament. And folks in Beantown, Dallas, Sacto and Chi-town all share a very high level of diva disgust. Rondo happened to be on my mind because he played against the Cs less than 24 hours ago. Pud |

Rozier did not show anything last night. It was the perfect game for him to step up. He was not aggressive one bit.

Pud Pud, you really aren't saying anything new here about his temperament. Think about it, Rondo was a diva on those 2008, 2009, 2010 teams and it did not really seem to matter then. From all indications, his temperament was worse then. Oh, we were winning. That's the difference. He then went to an on-the-downslide Dallas team and was a total whack job who deserved what he got. Then he went to Sacramento and Chicago. Rondo isn't the first player to DISLIKE playing in Sacto. And with Chicago, Rondo was a model player - he stood up for the young guys when DWade and Jimmy Butler acted like divas and pointed fingers at them for the Bulls failures. By all accounts, Rondo was the one player who stood up to Wade and Butler and challenged them about THEIR leadership. Temperament and diva personality is oftentimes a label that is overrated. I think any true Celtic fan would love to have a temperamental Cousins or Draymond Green in a Celtics uniform any day. When you win, it doesn't matter. For me, the bottom line is, I wish we had a player on our roster who can command and run a team like he can. That's my main point regardless of his temperament. |

Petey: I'm not saying anything new about R9R. There is little new to be said. His tenure in Beantown has been litigated ad nauseam, no question about it and he continues to be very divisive wherever he goes. Perhaps you might remember when he got to Dallas, he let it be known that he hadn't played defense in years. He was busy padding his assist stats while letting AB do the defending. After all, that's why the Cs drafted AB according to Rondo. I may not be a true Celtic fan because I would hate to have another temperamental player like Rondo on the team, be it a superstar like Cousins or an end of bench player, win/lose/draw. Kind of like having a temperamental, high drama Commander in Chief running the show.... nothing but turmoil. I recall you being pretty high on Rondo, even after CBS came aboard. You seemed to believe that R9R could fit into Brad's system quite well. In my mind, he has never fit very well anywhere. Way too inconsistent and unfocused. There's a good reason that he has been on 5 teams in 5 years. He's a very high maintenance player who lacks the emotional maturity to lead when it really matters. I would have much preferred that he come off the bench and be an energy guy... but things didn't turn out that way for him and for the Cs. He wanted to be a star... but was unwilling to put in the work and pay the price. Its a shame that Rick Carlisle didn't get a chance to coach him early on. Things might have turned out very differently with a very disciplined, demanding coach trying to break bad habits and bring out the best in him. By the time Rick got him, Wyc had already declared Rondo to be "uncoachable". And he certainly was. Pud |

I believe with anyone who plays in Sacto, there is a high likelihood that might be a one-year stint. Rondo isn't with Chicago because he's a temperamental diva? That has nothing to do with it. Chicago decided to go with the youngsters and Rondo did not fit. Same with DWade, Jimmy Butler and Taj Gibson.
When you allude in your post that he's high maintenance, and you preferred he come off the bench and he wanted to be a star, I thought you were referring to IT4.
And BTW, I never believed Rondo could fit into Brad's system. For one, when he got here, I really did not know what system Brad was running. And for two, I did not believe we had the talent around Rondo to be effective.
