Glenn is a lousy coach and has proven that again this postseason, but to blame Allen and Pierce's inability to control games like they used to on him is laughable. The offensive scheme is the same as it's always been - "Give ____ the ball and get out of the way." How is it Glenn's fault that Ray Allen is getting soundly outplayed by Wally ****ing Szczerbiak on both ends of the court? How is it Glenn's fault Paul Pierce can't get to the stripe?

It's not. Enough excuses. Guys like Allen and Pierce either need to step the **** up or this series is over.

This team hasn't been very good offensively in some time. The defense masked the issues. Unfortunately the Celtics are playing a good defensive team, so the problems are being showcased again. Right now the player that's taken over the offense is Rondo, and he's been wearing out the parquet with his dribbling. When the offense doesn't even start until half the shotclock's gone, you're not going to get very good shots. Especially when your best slasher's being reduced to a floor-spacing shooter.

Rondo exceeded my expectations, but having Delonte West at the one for the Celtics wouldn't ruin my day. Especially instead of Sam Cassell.

If not for Cassell last night would have completed the 4-0 sweep for the Cavs. As of now Cassell's had four good quarters this series to two for Rondo. Which doesn't mean that they both haven't played like **** (because they have), but, Sam only hurts the 15-20 minutes a game he's in there. The rest of the time it's Rondo that's killing us.

They've both been completely inept. Same with Ray Allen getting schooled by a guy you've probably ragged on more than anyone else in the L.

Brian Scalabrine's playing for the Cavs?

How about we start Posey at the 3, move Pierce to the 2, and Ray Allen to the 1? They can't ignore Allen on defense like they are with Rondo, and Pierce will be fine guarding Wally.

That is completely logical, and bound to work as Paul and Ray Ray are both pretty good ballhandlers. So there's a zero percent chance that they try it.

One thing's for sure.


"I gotta have more Posey!"

In terms of real basketball players, I meant.

Posey has been the best performer in this series, i preffer to see him out there than ray at this point.

Rondo does dominate the ball, but hes only been getting 20-25 minutes, thats a lot of time for other people to, and they just arent getting it done.

Tonight it a must win... go to KG early, and Ray/Paul needs to step up, get to the line, hit some shots... if we drop this game the series may be over

Marcus13

cannot take over games anymore? It's more like aren't allowed to. As soon as one of them catches fire, they are benched immediately
