Bold Predictions: Bayless with a triple double off the bench, Bass to hit 2 3s in the game, and...Kelly Olynyk leads all scorers.
Hickson is outperforming Faried?
I always thought Hickson was underrated but that's surprising.

Just got a feeling we are going to get a W tonight.
we always play the nuggets after a trade!!!
Our interior help defense is pathetic. Danny has to find a shot blocker.
This Green and Wallace lineup has not worked all season.

I have never said this before, but put Pressey in
Anybody know what is going on with Humphries?
not traded is he?
How does Bayless looks?
I have never said this before, but put Pressey in
why?
Bayless is playing excellent. Loving his pick and knife . Havent seen it that smooth since Rondo. Looks like he has a good connection with Olynyk also
Anybody know what is going on with Humphries?
not traded is he?
This team is a bit embarrassing right now.
Not sure who looks worse our team or the Lakers

I hope Lakers don't end up outdoing us in this area. Even in losing, we're still rivals

Yeah.....they are hoping for lottery too
This is the most unwatchable basketball I've seen in awhile.
Kelly Olynyk ???
So we get blown out 150 - 90 .....
Because they are all pouting

How do you even know if they're pouting?
Are you in the locker room or regularly hang out with the team?
That's just speculation.
This team is just not very good..

I can't speak to the morale in the locker room, but they did not look sharp in any department right there.
I'm looking at J-Craw's shooting stats.
Has he hit a wall or just reverted to, well, Jordan Crawford?
Stevens should tell Bayless to just shoot every chance he gets

Look at Avery - same shooting, but at least Crawford has five assists. I know he isn't quite the same player as earlier this year, but I am happy to see him contribute in other ways.

They haven't looked sharp the whole year. LOL.
Bass thinks he's Hakeem.
Can someone tell me if Humphries is injured? Why isn't he on the bench?
Total speculation, but does anyone think they are already getting tired of having Mr. Rogers as a head coach?
Hmmm.....I think he wanting out of the game.

Mild sprained ankle
So is Olynyk just bad because he is on a bad team or is he just in over his head?Hope I'm wrong...but....well...over his head is putting it kindly.
Gerald Wallace. ::). What a jokeAgree...an expensive one.
Does KO have some of the slowest feet in the NBA?
Does KO have some of the slowest feet in the NBA?
No. But Faried is one of the quickest most athletic players in the league
I'm still bummed out we didn't move up to draft him
Refs calling everything in the Nuggets favor
Thank God I can't watch this abomination of a game. Just watching the boxscore burns my eyes.
Wow, this team is BAD at defense. Hard to believe anybody ever thought they'd be any good. Hard to believe that they actually were kind of good for the first part of the season.
Refs calling everything in the Nuggets favor
it doesnt matter. the celtics are getting beaten like rented mules and it isnt the refs fault.

Somewhere Danny is sipping on Cognac and smiling lol
Wow, this team is BAD at defense. Hard to believe anybody ever thought they'd be any good. Hard to believe that they actually were kind of good for the first part of the season.We were top 10 in defensive efficiency not too long ago. I think we're still in the top 15. I didn't understand how really, I think we'll drop. But I doubt we'll ever be truly terrible.

Yeah, I know the team was actually pretty good to start the season. I'm not sure how they did it. But now they're looking about as bad as I expected they'd be.
gary washburn @GwashburnGlobe 19mwish we could just buy him out, he is trying to ruin our tanking >:(
Gerald Wallace on #celtics: “Right now, we’re the team that’s all talk.”
Mark Murphy @Murf56 19m
Wallace on Sullinger’s flagrants. “It’s good to see one of our bigs giving hard fouls. I’ll take that all day.”
Baxter Holmes @BaxterHolmes 5m
G. Wallace said the Celtics don’t deserve to get calls from the refs right now. “We’re not playing worth a crap anyway.”
Mark Murphy @Murf56 2m
Wallace: “We’ve done met, we’ve done talked, we’ve done everything – argued, fussed, complained, moaned, everything you can do.”
Let's all agree this is rock bottom, PLEASE LET IT BE ROCK BOTTOM!

You mean over a sample of the last two games?
Well, I guess that proves it.

Ultimately, Boston's ability to get back on track rests on defense, which itself is just effort. The Celtics have masked their inherent flaws (most notably an anemic, turnover-plagued offense) at times this season by buying into Stevens' defense-first system. But lately the Celtics have eroded on that end of the floor, struggling to stop teams in transition and offering little resistance to opposing ball-handlers. The result? Boston has plummeted from a top-10 defense to tied for 17th overall in defensive rating while allowing 103 points per 100 possessions through 35 games.
In losing eight of its last nine, Boston's defensive rating has been a cringe-worthy 108.3, ranking 27th in the league during that span. Opponents have shot 46.6 percent over the last nine games and 36.8 percent beyond the 3-point arc while averaging 105.3 points per game.
