Soo we should have a shot at a three ball here to atleast tie...we'll see how the free throws go

Butler is such a beast...Im not even mad at him. Nobody has been shooting well from three point land. With that being said, you have to give it to Ray. He is the three point shooter

Damn. Ray missed. Back to back losses....both to Washington. Thats a hurter

What the hell was Ray thinking on that? he hasnt been shooting well as it is and he just goes iso and takes a fading, off balance 3 with the defence all over him?
And with House, Posey and Pierce all on the floor no less.

This team is asleep... the offense is non-existant

caron butler is just too good. celtics played without any intensity down the stretch and washington capitalized.

Doc takes the blame for the most part... that run in the 4th could have been stopped with good time outs and subs, but he just refused to do either.

Ray wasnt working, Tony was playing great but he refuses to take his 'stars' off.
Perk should have been in there for Posey too... the wizards wouldnt have been able to drive at will

Avalanche

25-6 run in the 4th... absolutely pathetic

i am in awe, how the hell did we lose that game.

Avalanche

Doc comes out and says the 8 offensive boards for the wizards really hurt us

well no **** you 'tard you refused to stop playing your small ball line up that washington is built perfectly for.

if we dont succeed this season its coming from the bench...and i dont mean our reserve players either

Premier

Eddie House is playing like a scrub. James Posey isn't involved in the offense. Ray Allen...well...he cannot in a shot.

Why do the Celtics need 15s to get the ball inside the three point line? That leaves them with one option or a buzzer beating shot on a return pass. The pace of the game was awful. Nobody expects Celts to outrun opponents, but you have to try to get something going on fast break. With Rondo/Tony, Ray, Pierce and Garnett you certainly can take advantage of moving quickly to opponents half. Rivers has to do better job. Wizards' zone defense and pressure bothered them in same way like the last time. And 6-24 to finish a game without trying to do a thing is disgusting. He got frozen and that is a bad sign. It will be interesting to see whether they'll quickly bounce back or the problems with zone and pressure will linger. Other teams would quickly pick the recipe if Rivers doesn't prepare his backcourt soon.

Avalanche

Boston has just forgotten how to play like Boston
