I want a blowout. Nothing short of a blowout. That loss in OKC was a bit painful, so let's take it out on the cats.

could not agree more smurf. last loss did not bother me at all. :)
Bobcats are a horrible, horrible basketball team.Yup. This is a week we should sweep, despite the back-to-back factor.
Avoid the trap factor, stay healthy, get the W, and get the heck out of there.

CSN reporting Pierce is out tonight. Rest :(
Its a ghost town in here.exactly. feels like a summer league game.

Pierce sitting is not the cause of this crapfest - this is just bad basketball.
Also, loved it:
Gorman: "Do you see potential in this Charlotte roster?"
Scal: "No."
hEy, all. How are DJ and Sahvi looking out there?

Post moves, bank shots, and jump hooks!!! Do these guys want Doc to cut them now!!!
Winning?
Randolph...please get off the court.
Thanks.
Where's Terrence?

In the doghouse
It feels like im watching Major League back to the Minors
Wait a second, why are you guys sounding displeased... :-\
I miss Paul Pierce
Wait a second, why are you guys sounding displeased... :-\
Because this is the type of game that can slip away from us in a second.
No one in the Celtics is aggressive tonight. Hope it changes in the 2nd half.
I miss Paul Pierce
Him and green looking like the only players on this team with any offensive creativity whatsoever.

Gotcha. I haven't been watching, but playing poorly and staying within 3 at the half is nothing to fret about.
It's not like it's hard to turn it around against CHA

lol Jordan Crawford has always been criticized for being too creative offensively, and you don't even mention him? ::) :o ??? ;D :D ;) :P
Down 10 to the bobcats!!
Doc let that go for 5 mins
We are gonna lose to Charlotte
Again.
Why am I wasting my time with this?
Bobcats announcers agree that rondo is dominate with the ball and the ball is moving more freely without him. Of course most of us already knew that.
The celtics never get up to play the bobcats.
They said they wanted HC in the first round and yet they play the worst team in the NBA like this?

Seems to be working real well tonight...
Seems like Bass is always half a second late passing the ball. When he touches the ball, he massages it before he kicks it out.Agreed, seems like Im always screaming the name of someone wide open in the corner only to see him not give them the ball
The celtics never get up to play the bobcats.
NO EXCUSES. good teams do not play down to crappy teams.
It sounds like there is hardly any fans (in the arena) at that game. No atmosphere at all.

Oh please, this has nothing to do with rondo and you know it. If rondo was playing we'd probably be losing by more. Rondo doesn't come to play in games like these either.

okay.....CELTICS worse nightmare this year..we draw CHARLOTTE in the fisrt round of the 2013 playoffs.....imagine...getting your butt kicked by someone named CHARLOTTE...... ???Hey, nothing wrong with the name Charlotte.
DJ White and Shavlik played decent. At least played better than the new guards.he put them in.they did good...? i just got home...
The funny part is Charlotte is sooo bad this is like watching a HS game.
You can't place this performance on one player -- or lack thereof -- but I feel like trolling each and every "Bench Pierce for Green" thread right now.
The Captain is still far and away our best offensive player.

I cannot agree with that. Green is going to be solid. Tonight is no indication of what he can do - we have seen it.

And all the "we're better without Rondo," and "why doesn't Doc play the new guys on 10 day contracts," and etc etc. Oh, wait, I read here we'd be down even more with Rondo. ::)
The team is playing like crap. Of course Pierce is our best offensive player, but with this team performance, we'd be losing even with him AND Rondo.
White and Randolph can just go home. My lord they are both useless.
Randolph stinks!!!
Randolph stinks!!!Randolph DUKE...? Trading places....LOL...! Mortimer, We're BACK..!!!
Randolph stinks!!!
... and so do White and Williams. There's a reason these guys weren't given NBA contracts to start the year. Late season free agent signings rarely pay off, especially when you're signing scrubs.

Those are our two best offensive facilitators. I think each would have made a significant difference tonight.
We had a shot to be 6th and now we may end up 8th lolAtlanta is set to lose against Miami. So keep hope alive

Can anyone explain what the heck is going on with this team tonight? Struggling to hit 80 against the Bobkitties? Seriously?!?

Nobody on the court:
1. knows how to run a coherent NBA offense;
2. gives a dang about winning tonight.

My god. You have been beating this drum for how long? How many posters have disproved your point with actual statistics? The whole Rondo doesn't care about games not on national TV thing is such a load. Do you think The Celtics now run the offense quicker? Aren't plagued by late shot-clock FGA's? that has been a favorite talking point. Well, they shoot more late shot clock attempts per game now. But, hey, what is the truth to stand in the way of constant critique?
This is the b.s. that drives me away from this blog. The persistent, petulant pontificating of the stick to my guns, [dang] reality, narrow, nescient, ninnies.
But people here seemed to be really into Woj's reactionary, strawman, concern-trolling diatribe about DeAndre's dunk so this just might not be the place for me (funny how there was a real Venn diagram crossover in the trade Rondo/love Woj article core)
Trying to remain calm and level-headed here but I saw some quitting out there tonight.
I wish Doc could tell some guys to walk back to Boston. That was unacceptable.
See how good I was? No salty language or anything.

everyone on the floor in the fourth quarter. Or did I miss about five uncontested dunks?
Two things jump out from tonight's box score:
!) KG, 2 for 10 with 2 rebounds
2) Gerald Henderson scored 35 points against our vaunted defensive backcourt
Sorry I missed this one ::)It's all your fault. We hate you. (kidding, kidding... you didn't miss much ;))

None, My only claims are the team moves the ball better without rondo and they look more comfortable overall. *None of this can be proved by looking at a stat sheet but only by watching the actual games*.
Went to the game with my son and got to personally witness the WORST loss by the Celtics since I have been watching since the 1980's.
The lack of Bobcats' fans etiquette was amazing. They consistently clapped on open misses by the Celtics. Poor taste.
We BETTER beat the Raptors in Beantown tomorrow!!!!
This was our 9th road game in the last 11 games.

Fine. Your "eye test" is different from my "eye test." Which, basically, means nothing. Eye tests mean zero. Stats alone can be contorted. But together there can be something substantial. I think we fundamentally disagree about basketball, which is cool, but all these black and white absolutes that get thrown around are b.s. And the claims you make above, without the quantifying them, which can now actually be done to a degree, mean nothing.
People can watch a game and have wildy divergent takes, be they subjective interpretations or what they were looking at, or what they know about. This is why "eye tests" are pretty empty when just thrown out as that.
