AggiesAreWe Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 After starting the year 27-2, Boston has lost 6 of their last 8 games. I want to hear from Nos, spinks and other Celtic backers on what is going on with this team. (personally, I can't believe LB hasn't come on here and hammered Boston during this bad time) ;D
Guest nostradamus Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 To me, it is the ebb and flow of an NBA basketball season. You start out 27-2 and those 2 losses came in the first 8 games......it is bound to happen at some point. Like Doc Rivers said "our season will be 82 game 7's". As for on the court, the bench stinks right now, and Rondo has gone from all-star to average lately. I will say this, Rivers is playing the bench in extended minutes and I noticed Pruitt out of USC (2nd year guy) is getting more and more minutes. It is certainly ugly but, I think if our biggest problem is worrying about being 29-8 and .5 game out of first in the eastern conference then we'll be okay. On another note, I hope the Rockets organization is starting to see what I have been screaming from the mountain top for two years now: -Rafer Alston will never be the starting PG for a championship team......Aaron Brooks is the best PG on that team -TMAC needs to go.....he is wasting time, money, and playing time for other players that can help......plus, the Rockets are ultimately better without him........they might actually be somewhat consistent once they know he is never going to play for them.

Nos, I couldn't agree with you more on the Rocket talk. Tracy must go!
setxslam Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 They should've traded T-Mac long ago. Now they seem to be stuck with him.
Guest nostradamus Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 No doubt, stuck and wouldn't get anything for him even if they did trade him. They should be kicking themselves for not taking the Billups/Prince trade during the summer........look what Billups has done for the Nuggets.
AJ25 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 it's not the starters fault, it's not the defenses fault. the reserves aren't producing at all when they come into the game.
