    I say it was the loss to the Blazers, not the Lakers, that ruined Boston!

    The Celtics will be there in the end. I think the start was too easy for them and they got a little bored, and lost some focus. But it's still enjoyable seeing them fall to crappy teams.

    I don't think they will. They're an old team that has old starters playing way too many minutes. That team is tired and its showing. They aren't doing it again.

    Is that what happened last year too?

    Right, because getting a suspension is the obvious way to end a losing streak.

    Houston is next up, I have no clue how this will turn out. One part of me thinks the team's slide will continue. The other part thinks that, because this is their first 'big game' since Christmas Day, they might get up for it and beat the Rockets. After that its Cleveland, I think we will beat them regardless of what happens tonight.

    The Boston win had much more to do with the Celtics being ina funk than the Blazers being a good basketball team.

    I think it's really important for the team to come out and punch Detroit in the mouth right off the bat tonight. Pound the ball inside to GO and LA, and have Bayless start and drive it down their throats.

    Teams have finally learned how to defend Boston. They are playing off Rondo letting him shoot from the outside and stopping his penetration. He is shooting 30% from outside the lane.

    Boston has lost 5 of their last 7, six of which were on the road.
    They play at home against Houston next, and then in Cleveland.

    If they lose against Houston, the team will truly be in free-fall.
    However, they have been a very good home team, so it will
    be interesting.

    The Celtics are one big injury away from being very average. This is their last year to win it all in my mind. Allen, Pierce and KG wont all be healthy at the same time for another two years. NO WAY!!! This team is built for right now.

    I didn't say they'll win it again, but they're still a No. 1 or 2 seed in the East for sure. And most of, if not all of, their recent losses have come on the road... when they're at home in front of that crowd, that's pretty intimidating.

    It's karma for KG being a no class cheap shotting asshole, IMO.

    If he's worried about getting a suspension he should stop putting on a front like he's a badass to only get punked like the pussy he is. Its not a hard concept, talk a lot of shit and people are going to want to fight him and put him in a situation where a fight might happen. Everyone realizes he's a bitch now, he should stop making himself look like pansy even more.

    KG only acts tough with smaller players.

    He runs from the bigs.
