“I just told Ed [Malloy], please keep officiating the game,” said Rivers. “That’s all I said. I thought the play before [the technical] was a clear travel in front of him. So I just said, ‘Hey Ed, it’d be nice if you’d keep officiating throughout.’ He gave me a tech. Then I said, ‘That’s the best call you’ve made all night.’ Usually, it’s nice to earn them, but [Monday's technicals were] another bad call.”
is Jermaine playing today? Wasnt' he supposed to make his reappearance against the Pacers?

Danny Ainge joined The Big Show for his weekly interview and said that Jermaine O'Neal was getting closer to a return and coule be back on the court by next Thursday when the Celtics play the Spurs. Ainge was in Chicago to watch O'Neal work out and said that he looks better than he has all season. "The swelling issue that had prevented him from [playing] early in the year is not happening right now," Ainge said. "Since the surgery, it's been a lot better."
Ainge said that the plan was for O'Neal to join the C's in Indiana when they play the Pacers on Monday and then travel with them to San Antonio.
the Glen Davis show rolls on tonight. The only question is how many shots will he miss tonight, 12? 14?
Rondo is questionable for tonight? I thought he's playing.
#celtics D. Rivers said Rondo will not play tonight.
#Celtics JO said he can practice now w/o limitations. First time since he left the #Heat last year.
A. Sherrod Blakely tweets:Quote#celtics D. Rivers said Rondo will not play tonight.

I dunno whether to say hallelujah or not, but Rondo will be getting more rest. Good.
Also from Blakely:Quote#Celtics JO said he can practice now w/o limitations. First time since he left the #Heat last year.
Am I the only one who is a bit peeved with Stern assigning Workman to ref this game? He played for the Pacers and was paid by them for 4 years. Isn't that what's called a conflict of interest?

Hmm well Rondo looks pretty decent to start the game...lolI guess doc's "attitude adjustment" worked...
Well, Rondo's in. Thought he was definitely out.
Hope the night off did him well.
What the heck why is Rondo playing????He looks terrible so far :P
Ugh.
What the heck why is Rondo playing????
Ugh.
What the heck why is Rondo playing????
Ugh.
I'm sorry, but Haywood Workman should not be allowed to ref pacers games. It's unethical.
I'm sorry, but Haywood Workman should not be allowed to ref pacers games. It's unethical.cause he was a Pacer? He played for a bunch of other teams, too.
Rondo needs the rest though, he should have sat a few more games.
Dont know who our point guard is but he looks like Derrick Rose out there right now.
What the heck why is Rondo playing????
Ugh.
Ugh I know right? Only has 10 points on 5/5 shooting. :P

Disagree, so long as the league allows Tommy to ref Celtics games. ;)

Not sure who that poster is -- is that Megatron with Rondo praise? ;)
Black Hole Baby is in. Ugh.
Get ready for a ton of 15-18 foot bricks guys while Green is sitting in the post but wont get the ball.
i anticipate with davis in with this unit...the pacers will tie this game in no time off him shooting long jumpers
i anticipate with davis in with this unit...the pacers will tie this game in no time off him shooting long jumpers
I'm about to break out in rage watching matador davis defense and a brick jumper from him. Murphy plays bad defense but is at least a better rebounder and shooter.
Ray, Green, and Krstic are all much better shooters, and Rondo is actually a better shooter too (40% vs 35%).
Glad to see Rondo show up though.
Wow Krstic is getting kind of screwed :(
Wow Krstic is getting kind of screwed :(
glen davis shoots way too much for my liking
The foul calls will most likely even out in the second half.
OMG! These refs are something else!! :-X
I still dont get the Perk trade.
You traded Perk for a scrub center and a bench SF you dont use.
Weird.
C's legs are creaking..
It's time for somebody to show up outside of Rondo and Pierce.
only 3 fouls on the Pacers?they don't commit fouls.
i'm sorry, but if we have yet another game where baby takes more shots than ray, paul, KG, or green, he needs to be benched.
OMG! A foul!
It's easy to go 9-10 when the refs give the Celtics only two bigs 3 fouls each in the first half.
And the second night of back to back curse continues.
Dang.
And the second night of back to back curse continues.
Dang.
On the other hand, it doesn't really matter at this point. We're not catching the Bulls.
1 shot each for Garnett and Allen that half...neither of them are comparable to the offensive machine that is big baby
Can't wait til Davis leaves as a FA this summer.Haha, TP
C's usually lose when Rondo is the leading scorer. Keep that in mind.
And the second night of back to back curse continues.

Jeff Green is awful on defense, as much as I try warmig up to the trade I hate it more and more everyday.

We aren't catching the Lakers either so what does that say about our banner aspirations?
Geez, what's up with all the optimism?
There are 48 minutes in a game and we're only down 8, chill out guys, we've got this one.
1 shot each for Garnett and Allen that half...
I dont understand these types of things I really dont.
KG and Allen arent demanding the ball or trying to be a part of the offense, thats what happens when your coasting.
Indiana scored 30 pts in the 2nd Q, and 27 in the 1st.that's largely due to the refs taking KG out of the game. kristic has 3 fouls, KG has 3 fouls. many of the calls were ridiculous.
REALLY?
The offensive droughts are nothing new for the Celtics but letting Indiana score that much is ridiculous.
this game has gone badly for 2 reasons: bad refereeing and yet another insane game on offense where baby has taken more shots than ray, paul, KG, and green.
Geez, what's up with all the optimism?

Go Celtics!!!
Geez, what's up with all the optimism?

Sure.
To be optimistic, you should've slept for the hole last month and not watched a single C's game since all star break.
I know others have said this, but I'm on board now. BBD is gone this summer, he's walking as a FA. Right now his presence is basically hindering Jeff Green's development as a 6th man on our team.
Well...not much has changed. This team is still bad but on the bright side it looks like Rondo has come out of his slump for at least this game.

What's the correlation between the past games and this one? Should I assume we're going to lose this game because we've been in a slump for weeks? We've got to get out of it at some point and Rondo definitely looks like he has got out of his own slump so far.

well, normally the 2nd night of a back to back is a guaranteed loss that trumps everything, but I think we will win this one tonight
Ray Allen is really the guy who disappears from the offense, especially when its in the clutch.
I know others have said this, but I'm on board now. BBD is gone this summer, he's walking as a FA. Right now his presence is basically hindering Jeff Green's development as a 6th man on our team.
I hear what you're saying here, but it's hard for me to discount everything BBD has done for our team.
History tells us this game is over.

Nice move from Ray.

Followed up by a nice move from Granger

Two stinker plays for Baby there. Never save under their basket!!
The refs are blatantly protecting Hibbert on defense, he should have picked at least 2 fouls in the past 3 minute. Frustrating.
i am not watching the game, can someone explain to me how come we are shooting 60% from the field and losing?
Update: Chicago 13 Pilly 27, end of 1st qtr.
:)

Bulls are down 13 to 27 to the 76ers after one quarter. That team scares me.
Lets just hope we don't slip down to the third seed or that would be one brutal firt round.
Ugh...it seems like every loose ball under their basket goes their way...
KG is starting to work on Hansbrough now. Should be fun to keep an eye on.

Let's get this one & see if Philly can hang on. Would love to pick up a game on Chicago tonight!btw...philly is BALLING vs. chicago.
Shhh, don't jinx them!
yeah, kristic is getting fouled, but getting no calls whatsoever.
Well I guess the optimistic posters of this thread were right to feel good about this one, uh? ;D

Yeah I don't know what's more frustrating, Krstic waiting 3 seconds to get his shot blocked and piling up fouls or Baby refusing to make a single pass and hogging the ball.

He's had some bad no-calls when he's been fouled, but he blatantly held Foster on that FT. Just a dumb foul.

I really don't get all this hate for BBD on this forum.
He made some big plays, shots and rebounds that helped C's switching the game. Comparing him to Krstic is foolish to me
I reckon Krstic realises how bad is hair actually is and wants to foul out so no one has to look at him!
Thank you Nenad.

He's been good in this game for the most part but he is a black hole on offense and it's frustrating to watch him take so many shots while his teammates could get better looks.
4th quarter...going to be hard to pull this one out, both KG and Ray have been non factors, and Rondo stopped attacking. I wont be surprised if we fail to score 100.

Celtics lol.
Just the name of this team is starting to be associated with laughter.
Big Baby to the rescue!
Embarrassing.
Just play the guys on the end of the bench. At least they have an excuse to make these mistakes.
The worst part is that they tried...and lost...to the Pacers.
This isnt about being bored with the regular season, or coasting, or any of that nonsense. We are just BAD.
Name ONE good thing Rondo has done in this 4th quarter?
This has to be one of his wort quarters all year. Hes still in a slump, or maybe he just isnt as good as he thought he was.

Yeah, no way to rationalize this loss except that the team tried and just simply came up short . . . to the Pacers.
Comparing this team to the Heat and the Bulls is painful. I don't even want to talk about comparing them to the Lakers.
The Celtics are going to get their butts kicked in the playoffs by a team that is younger, deeper, hungrier, and more talented than they are.
Whats the point of playing the starers?
They need the last 2 weeks of the season off.
We arent catching LA or Chi, or even Miami.
Now is the time to conceded the rest of the regular season Doc, no point risking injury or burning out the starters right now. The regular season is done.

Blow it up in the off-season, Danny, and let's hope for some good draft picks in 2012 / 2013.
Maybe somebody will even do us the favor of taking Rondo's long contract off our hands for some draft picks and a prospect or two.
Just gotta say it one more time: Danny bamboozled Sam Presti. Took him to the cleaners!
Glen Davis 35 mins - 5 rebounds

Perkins was the best player on this team and nobody knew it until he was traded. Guy was the REAL leader and backbone of this team.
Tired legs, second night of a road back to back. This is not a surprise at all. I am glad they seemed to care about this game though. That's an improvement.
Thursday is going to be interesting though. They have a couple nights off to get their legs back, and they should be up to play the Spurs. That could be a real measuring-stick, even if Shaq isn't playing yet.

The Celtics have won games the whole season through injuries and without key players. Tonight they've been too short on the frontcourt, Baby and KG are great, but you need someone to play C. Krstic was out because of fouls. Even if he could play, at some point being shorthanded will catch up with your team.
I'm not worried about HCA, last year some of the most horrible officiating took place in the Garden. I'm worried about the Celtics having enough healthy bodies to play hard through the playoffs.
Good night, I feel like we can't play worse basketball, so it's all getting better from here on.
Go Celtics!!!
It's sad because you can tell people on this board care more about winning than some of the guys on the floor.

Win or lose, it doesn't really matter. We should stop assigning importance to Win or Loss at this point, because there's no way to get the seed we'll need anyway.
We're probably looking at the 3rd seed and 55 or 56 wins. Second round exit, maybe lose in the conference finals if the team really guts it out. Maybe we can at least be the team that prevents the Heat from winning a title this year.

It's incredible that everybody keeps putting the blame on the trade while this would have still been a loss with Perk.
If we never made the trade, the team wouldn't look like the hot mess that it does now. The deal messed with the team's psyche, as well as their execution. I know I'm not going to convince anybody of that who isn't already predisposed to the argument, but I refuse to believe this is just a coincidence.
So can we all finally agree that we are watching a repeat of last season?

I know I'm not going to convince anybody of that who isn't already predisposed to the argument, but I refuse to believe this is just a coincidence.really? really? the problem post-trade has been offense, as in we don't have any. this is the rare game that defense was an issue, though a lot of that was the refs making some questionable calls on our bigs. perkins is a liability on offense. nate isn't playing because he had knee surgery. so...how exactly would we be doing better? i'm sure the team was hurt by perk being traded and all, but when exactly did one of the most professional veteran teams in the game turn into the mental equivalent of a junior high squad? fact is, most of our players are slumping right now, we aren't playing focused (bored, probably), and we're basically losing games because we can't score a bucket. oh, and also, doc is really misusing jeff green as well. he's playing him like he's daniels, which is ridiculous. so, we're not even using the best part of the trade for us properly.

Ray has been useless since all star break. I have yet to see anything Jeff Green that warrants the talk of him supposedly being the best player in the deal. I believe we were blindly robbed in that trade.

HOW IS THIS TEAM SUPPOSED TO BEAT THE LAKERS IN LA??
Just gotta say it one more time: Danny bamboozled Sam Presti. Took him to the cleaners!
Roy, do you honestly think having Perk in there tonight would have won us the game? Would this team be so much better? How great would this team be with Delonte, Von Wafer, and Glen Davis as our primary bench players?
The Celtics CAN'T SCORE. Late in games, they lose leads because they can't score, particularly inside. They start shooting jumpshots, and they stop scoring. They play decent defense; they just can't score. Perk WOULD NOT help with that.
The trade is not the culprit here. The team just doesn't have what it takes to be great at the moment . . . the core pieces just aren't enough. I don't know if fatigue and injuries from age and lack of depth is finally catching up to them or what, but what I'm seeing out there is a team that is just not on the same level as Chicago, LA, Dallas, San Antonio, or half of the other playoff-bound teams.
Blame the trade if you like, but it's a weak excuse. I think Danny saw this coming, and tried to do something about it, but it was too late. The window is slamming shut before our eyes. We should all just be thankful it was even open as long as it was.
Second round exit
That's an improvement over the playoffs prediction you'd made last year. Celtics will lose 4-2 against Miami you'd said...the result was right..but it was us who won that series. ;)
Well guys, at least they tried. Isn't that the most important thing?
Moral victories are for the Cavs, the Timberwolves and the Kings. Not us.

Just don't see this team flipping the switch this season. Going to have a lot of free time come may
Well, Danny Granger just came out and said that we missed Perk, so at least somebody sees it.well then, that settles it. always good to have the opinion of basketball analyst extraordinaire danny granger.

Ray has been useless for the past 2 years and if we had traded him at last years all-star break like we should have, we'd probably be looking for banner 19 right now.

Ray since the all-star game (prior to tonight): 16.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 46.6% FG%, 44.2% 3PT%.
Those numbers might be down a bit, but they're not useless.
The trade is just an excuse for a lot of people but certainly not a cause.

Here's the thing, Juneauz. A lot of people on this forum have been following this incarnation of the Celtics (and many other incarnations) for the last few years, especially closely the last 4-6 months. They have done so with the deep seated belief that this team can win a championship. Anything less than that will be a disappointment. This is, for all intents and purposes, our last real shot at a title with this group. After this year, it's lockout and then rebuilding time.
So many people are getting really worked up and riled up and disgusted and embarrassed and ashamed because what they're seeing before their eyes is this team breaking down and falling short before they even get to the playoffs. They're seeing happen again what they saw happen in the last half of last season leading up to the playoffs, which resulted in a loss in the Finals. The team just ran out of gas last year. Didn't have the legs, or the depth, or home court. The window is closing, and #18 is slipping away.
In other words, this all may seem like a gross overreaction to one game, but the last month has been pretty brutal. And it all appears to be a very ominous, disturbing sign of things to come.

Until he decides to show up when it matters -- oh, like the NBA finals for instance -- than yeah, he is useless. I know it hurts everyones tender feelings for him, but Ray has been absolute **** when it counts.
This team is no longer feared. They are soft and in the toilet. Flush it and start over...I predict they win three more games the regular season
People saying we wouldnt have won if Perk was playing are like people saying the Cavs would win wthout LeBron.
Perkins was by far the MVP of this team, even him sitting on the bench supporting and guiding his teammates on both ends is enough.
Perk on bench in suit = as valuable as LeBron on the court.
We got rid of our MVP and were seeing a crumbled team without their superstar.
Well, Danny Granger just came out and said that we missed Perk, so at least somebody sees it.well then, that settles it. always good to have the opinion of basketball analyst extraordinaire danny granger.
Yeah, there's definitely no need to trust the guys actually playing against us.
Personally all the trade talk is getting annoying, Perkins was our best player, we traded him for a young talented project, get over it.
No need to bring up Perkins every single loss, he was a superstar we all know it we dont need reminding.
in the end, Danny Ainge is the one we should be really blaming for all of this.

I see what you're saying, PosImpos.
but I've been laughing and crying with the celtics just like you guys, in the last ten years. I don't miss a game, and I didn't miss one even when we were losing 20 in a row back in the days.
I'm frustrated just like you are, and I totally HATED the trade.
But what I don't get, is blaming always the same guys even when they play great, or never mention the "untachables" even when they play badly.
in the end, Danny Ainge is the one we should be really blaming for all of this.
But some guys here watch celtics games just to diss Rondo and BBD and will always do even if it makes no sense, just like today.

He went on to say they wanted to take advantage of Hibberts size over Baby. If Shaq or Jermaine played tonight he wouldnt have even mentioned us missing Perk.

Amen. I love Danny and want to see his number retired, but he went for a home run when a single would have sufficed.

What have Krstic and Green done for us thus far that Perk and Battier wouldn't have been able to do?
That's a very large IF. ANd it's still a large IF that they'll ever play. Or play well.Well, Danny Granger just came out and said that we missed Perk, so at least somebody sees it.well then, that settles it. always good to have the opinion of basketball analyst extraordinaire danny granger.

There's no way we would have been able to get Battier. Houston got a better deal for him than we could have offered.
The proper comparison is Krstic and Green vs. Perk and Pavlovic. I disagree that this team would be that much better with the latter. Better defensively? Perhaps. But considerably worse offensively, and we're already putrid on offense.

I think everybody just disagrees on who is to blame. Personally, I don't believe that Danny is at fault. I think he saw many of these issues coming ahead of time. I think he wanted to try to address them to some degree and also attempt to put some youth in place to start creating a bridge between this group and the next. I can't fault him for doing that.
Just as Roy believes with much faith that the loss of Perkins is what has thrown this team into discord, I have faith in Danny. I believe that the issues we're seeing crop up now are things that he expected to happen, and attempted to address beforehand. I just don't think he was successful - but I don't think it was for lack of trying, or poor decision making. I just have a feeling that this group is getting close to cooked. Not cooked yet, but close.

Well we can at least agree he had bad timing.
He could've made these moves next year.
We had a great shot at a title, this season.
I remember this team playing great basketball a few months ago.
And when you have that, you shouldn't really think about the future.
winning NOW is the first goal
We tried for Anthony Parker. And Battier. And every rotation caliber swingman in the league and no one bit.
I can't believe so many are falling for the late season energy conservation bit again. "fool me once" syndrome.

Why was it a "no way" deal? I'd read that we were very much in hunt to acquire Battier until Danny decided to be outsmart his brain cells...and pulled the trigger on the Krsitc and Green trade.
Question for those who think this has to do with the trade:
Why did this team go through the exact same thing last year? Could it be health has been the biggest problem down the stretch the last couple years? Also, what was the Celtics record with Perk this season?
We started slumping last year when we traded Eddie House also.
He was our 2nd best player next to perkins.

I think it's too easy to say that just because we were playing great basketball a few months ago, we would be now if the trade hadn't happened. I can't say that I know that for sure with the ease that some other people on this sight have said it. I can't agree with it because what I see out there on the court doesn't bear it out. The things that are causing this team to lose are the same things that caused them to lose last year, when we had Perk. Having Perk now and not having Green or Krstic would certainly not help with end of quarter offensive stagnation, lack of energy, getting killed on the boards, and so on.
Question for those who think this has to do with the trade:
Why did this team go through the exact same thing last year? Could it be health has been the biggest problem down the stretch the last couple years? Also, what was the Celtics record with Perk this season?
Question for those who keep bringing up last year:
What was SO GREAT about last year that it has become the crutch people lean on to explain this disgusting play??

They proved to me that they're a team more built for the playoffs; When they have days to rest and time to prepare for the same opponent, they'll win.
Sad thing is Boston could have got back within one to the bulls tonight...but yet they drop behind MIA FOR the three seed

Honestly, it was a pretty serious longshot to catch the Bulls at this point, even before the loss tonight.
On a positive note, at least we know that if the Sixers somehow managed to face the Bulls in the playoffs, it'd be a good matchup.

Sixers going to give Boston a lot of problems. Could see the winning that series
Well, Danny Granger just came out and said that we missed Perk, so at least somebody sees it.It's no secret the trade has disrupted our psyche and screwed with us in every way possible
Why do you guys as fans take HCA and the #1 so seriously?
The Celtics dont, and they prove they dont care by their play.

Celtics having to beat Miami and the bulls without home court isn't happening. I could see both those teams stealing a game at boston...meaning u have to win twice on the road.
Shaq or JO will not restore the chemistry rut and wreck that has become post-trade it's too late. That is besides the point mark my words those guys will be in constant foul trouble and give us hardly anything.The trade is just an excuse for a lot of people but certainly not a cause.
So the slump coinciding with the trade, and the players talking about the loss of physicality and chemistry, is all just a big coincidence?
chemistry is one thing (back to your psyche comment).
but, to beat a dead horse, the Celtics were winning games without Perk at the start of the season. I don't buy the physicality argument.
Edit: or at least, I don't buy that it's not something that can't be fixed with the addition of Shaq or JO.
They are playing like trash because they are done. Finished. They beat philly maybe in six...they lose to Miami in six. Just don't have it this year...doc knows it

Don't you want to at least see how this team plays in the playoffs before making statements like these again?

I have seen enough. I don't think shaq nor Jo will make a difference. Both will be gimpy. This team has lost its way...and I don't think they are good enough to just flip it. I don't trust them. I will go into the playoffs hoping to win some games...and will be shocked if they get on any kind of run
It is more than saving their legs. I would buy that last year. Look at their body language...it is awful...watch doc....he doesn't know what to do. These guys are lost mentally...soft physically and not anywhere on the same page. Problem is a lot bigger than just saving themselves for the playoffs. I expect we see these same attributes when the playoffs start
Last year they had a team that had been together forever and could afford to to save it....this year they have a new team pretty much other than five guys. They need this time to get it together not coast
