Van Gundy was right, the level of play so far this season really sucks. lack of a pre-season, too many back to backs, etc. seems like a lot of veterans are way behind or cant keep up. look at Dirk, he's been shit so far this year too. this season certainly favors teams that are young and deep.

Bradley-- Not detrimental to losing.

If it wasn't sad, it would be very funny to watch Bradley play NBA basketball

[Rudy Pemberton]

I thought Moore was goimg to be taking Bradley's minutes, can that start now?

and brooks for johnson was not danny's finest moment.

[bball831]

Good night. This is a mediocre team. Nothing more, nothing less. 33 wins.

[PeaceSignMoose]

Blow it up.

[Jed Zeppelin]

I changed my mind, play Bradley as much as possible. Just lose baby!!!

[ifmanis5]

Doc's got a lot of work to do this year, this team needs lots of hand-holding.

Are you insane or blind?

Let the numbers do the talking.

His rebound rate sucks, worst of his career

I understand that his numbers are on the decline but Garnett is still very productive. There is also a great lack of a strong rebounder on this roster. Garnett has never been a strong power forward and now with the lack of height and power around him, its hard for him to make up all of the ground. There is a lot more wrong with the Celtics bigs than Garnett. If anything, Garnett is saving them from horror in the front court.

This game is depressing.

Could Bass be the starting 4 on a championship team, if say he was the 5th best starter?

[Rudy Pemberton]

in terms of blowing it up, there seems like a non zero chance that playing with what they got may get them in the lottery anyways.

True, but it also gives them a great shot at the 15 range, which is worse than anything.

Mediocre? Our 4 wins are against teams with a combined 6-32 record. This is a lottery team that Danny has assembled.

[Rudy Pemberton]

bass....lookin like big baby!

Double word.

Looks like it's time to face the facts and stare into the abyss...

Great 4 years Kevin. Appreciate it.

[Riles335]

Dooling!

Once this team wins this game, you guys will all be eating some major crow.

[MJM2344]

Nice shot, Pietrus.

The East is so bad that they'll be a 7 or 8 seed. Of course, that lands them Bulls or Heat in the first round. Either way, they'll be playing plenty of golf in June.

Danny can't land any stud by moving one of the Big 3 at this point so 'Blowing it up' is kind of moot.

[Van Everyman]

Also, not a ton of shame in losing to the defending champs -- regardless of how they're playing.

[Rudy Pemberton]

way to self destruct

[JakeRae]

6 point swing for the refs.

[Riles335]

I really feel like many of you are overreacting. Yes they have won four games verse sub par teams but they have come within buckets from beating both the Heat and Knicks are in a one or two possession game here with Dallas. You might think that this team looks old but there is a real possibility that this team is out of funk with a short preseason in which it is going to take this team a month or two to gel.

Step back KG, keep it going.

Ton of shame in being offensively inept, looking slow and getting out hustled after 4 days of rest.

[Rudy Pemberton]

fair points, Riles

[stp130]

Please, JVG. That's a solid NBA screen.

[radsoxfan]

No Pierce for awhile.... probably a good call. He's played horrifically tonight, must still be hurt

[ifmanis5]

JO and PP benched for Pie and Bass seems to be working.

[Greg29fan]

nice shot by Rajon

[deconstruction]

RONDO OFF THE DRIBBLE

The team is old. They look old on 4 days rest tonight and they will look much older later in the year during their 11 game in 15 nights with travel following every game stretch later this year.

[Riles335]

What a smooth pick by Garnett!

Tie game crows!!!

[Mike in CT]

Pietrus is a nice addition. A bad shot or two but overall a net positive tonight.

[Riles335]

How do they look old? They are in a dead lock with the Mavericks. Do the Mavericks look old? If they do, the Mavericks are going to be in the thick of things out West. Maybe it is that these are two very good teams going head to head in a game in which there is very little give.

[Riles335]

Agreed but those two three pointers that he missed were still good shots in my opinion.

Mavs are on the road
Mavs played last night got into Boston in middle of the night
Mavs opponent was well rested
Mavs got the short end of almost every call tonight

The score says even, this is not an even game when Dallas had everything going against them.

[ifmanis5]

Yes and for the love of God, yes.

[stp130]

WTF, Rondo...with the threes.

Edited by stp130, 11 January 2012 - 10:23 PM.

[radsoxfan]

Dallas is trying to lose this game.....

[Greg29fan]

Dirk looks older than KG if that's possible

[Soxaholic]

That was pathetic.

[ifmanis5]

Nice defensive rotation, PP. Dude can't move at all right now.

[MJM2344]

First Rondo gambles on a steal and leaves Terry wide open, now Pierce just leaves Terry a free lane to the hoop for a lay up.

[Nomar813]

PP ang KG both stand still and watch Terry lay it in.

Edited by Nomar813, 11 January 2012 - 10:25 PM.

[Stu Nahan]

This team sucks

[bball831]

Wow. That was ugly. Pierce and KG don't rotate. Such a different team from the last 4 years.

[mikeford]

Pierce is DEAD. He needs to be out until that heel is healthy cuz he's doing no one any favors.

[Riles335]

Yes and for the love of God, yes.

And so does almost every team on any given night this year. This is a crazy season so lets hold judgement until we are further into the season and everyone has their legs.

[Mike in CT]

Those 2 technical fouls are really helpful now.

They're not good enough anymore to give up free points.
