Celtics (12-9) at Rockets (10-11) 12/14

[SHAQATTACK]

I'm not brave enought to watch the C's & Spurs  ... refill the nerve pills tommorrow

[Big Rondo]

We need a BIG Man in such a bad way 

[BballTim]

I love Rondo, but he is either unable or doesn't want to stay in front of his man on defense. So frustrating.

I still remember the playoff series vs the magic a few years back when anthony carter killed Rondo just because he refused to focus his defensive effort on him

  Translation: someone scored a couple of easy baskets against Rondo in a game.

Translation: just about anyone being guarded by Rondo gets to the hoop at will every game

  Translation: someone gets past Rondo and you're on it like white on rice, Rondo plays good defense and you're too busy looking for his next mistake to notice what happened.

centers costs a bunch , but we are gonna have to have one ...a GOOD ONE

You honestly believe Rondo does a good job staying in front of his man? More power to you.

Sully doing the LEON POWE that we need...Way to go SULLY..!

[Who]

An underwhelming third quarter performance.

[SCeltic34]

An underwhelming third quarter performance.

A kind way to put it.

[vinnie]

An underwhelming third quarter performance.

All starters are minus and all subs are plus through three.

Execution still just not that good - a mediocre Rockets team shooting close to 50% after 3.   I don't know when or how, but we need to play much better D at some point - otherwise we will continue to play 500 ball....

  I think if you watched any point guard play defense as critically as you watch Rondo you'd think they were terrible at keeping their man in front of them. Which point guards do you think rarely let their man get past them?

[vinnie]

Hard to watch this defense

[Meadowlark_Scal]

WHY would you let the other team stand in front of you in the paint..?

[Who]

Another lousy defensive play by Jeff Green on Greg Smith. Layup.

[Meadowlark_Scal]

You've got to see it as a PROBLEM anytime the other team even wants to get inot the paint...!!!
