Well, in all honesty, independently of the bad calls, they are beating us fair and square - we just can't stop them.

Let this be a lesson.

so were back to 2006, where the pick and roll is something no one on the roster knows how to defend?

really need another PG

House was completely flustered, TA was a mistake waiting to happen and Rondo... well you see it.

Doc got outcoached and the players didn respect the Bobcats...so much for a winning streak..and so much for the 'we respect all our opponents' talk.

Guys, it's an off night, relax. Credit the bobcats for playing well too, you can't just a team by one game, so stop saying the Celtics don't know hwo to defend.

Is that you, sprash? Seven full minutes left. (I agree it's not looking good, but come on...)


When the refs are going one way its pretty hard to pull out a win

Let's hope Charlotte doesn't manage to get the 8th playoff spot.

I thought Pruitt maybe should've gotten a look tonight, with Ray out, but who knows?

I'm half expecting to see Tommy run onto the court and start swinging on a ref.

In the playoffs, there is no way I want to see TA or Eddie House handling the ball! They can not deal with pressure and make too many turnovers!

Chalk it up as that one team just having the C's number. Although both games the C's have played like complete garbage for the duration.

we really should have changed our coverage, we stuck with the same defense despite them shredding it the sam way over and over agina. If I'm Doc I tell Thibedaeu to walk hom tonight.

Garnett got pulled down. The ref has to be blind to miss that.

Let's not forget that Gerald Wallace didn't even play the first game...
