Well, i guess we are not the only one struggling. The Celtics lost to the Bobcats in overtime, 114 - 106. Do you think the Celtics will continue to struggle and do worst tomorrow night against us? I mean, they did lose to the Bobcats. What happened to them? Ever since that streak broken by the LA Fakers, they started to play bad.....(and people thought they were going to have the Bulls record..72-10)
Damn, the Rockets will lose yet another game. The C's will be fired up after losing to the Bobcats and really want to win that game against the Rockets.
What does it mean? It means the Celts are gonna play monster D on us tomorrow and KG'll be all fired up for a win. I shudder at the thought. We lose 76-111. 35's not much. We could lose by more.
Come on the Bobcats and Knicks beat them...I would give ourselves a chance. Maybe KG will have some fun with Rafer.
Recently, the Celts have been getting into ruts on offense where teams are able to shut them down. It was weird watching them lose to Golden State. I don't think for one minute the Rockets will win tomorrow, but don't assume the Celts will be fired up and blazing just because they lost tonight. Before they lost to the Roy-less Blazers, the Celts had a day off after losing 2 of 3. There was every reason to think they would kill the Blazers. The Celts are starting to doubt themselves and I think the Rockets might be playing them at a good time. They will pull out of it eventually.
actually, boston has never been vulnerable since the big three got together. I don't think any of their big three are extremely confident people..they weren't able to lead their own teams to winning records most of the time. if their morale gets down, i could see some big problems for them
it was expected for them to have some sort of extended let down from their long streak.... remember we proceeded to lose like 3 of the next 4 after our 22 streak streaks like those definitely take alot of energy out of players
boston's struggling to maintain 80% winning. we're struggling to stay above 55%. it's not the same level of struggle.
The Celtics have lost 5 of 7, the rockets have lost 6 of 8. It's the same level of struggle, the Celtics just had a much better record before it started.
Yea Health is the Rockets reason, Boston should not have any excuses while Rockets is health so the level of struggle is actually greater for Boston.
Two things: 1. Raymond Felton is a flopper. Ugh. 2. This game confirms that the Celtics are a team of punks. They like to bully people around; they think they're the best and nobody can beat them. When someone does in fact stand up to them and punch them in the mouth, their ugly side shows and they either fold or start behaving unsportsmanlike (or in this case, both).
I said after their Blazers loss that teams would copy the "hitting them first" mantra from LaMarcus Aldridge and the intimidation stuff would backfire. KG has gone way over the top and has turned into a freak show. The fact a stiff like Kendrick Perkins is 2nd in the NBA in technical fouls is just stupid. The Celts have also angrily barked at each other on court the last couple of weeks. After winning the championship and starting off so well, the Celts got too full of themselves and it's biting them now.
their complete lack of a bench if going to kill boston their starting 5 is simply amazing but their bench always kills them. i figured their 3 stars would have to start logging a lot of minutes for them to keeping winning at a high pace it going to wear them down. i still think they will make it to the ECF but its going to more difficult than last year thats for sure.
