This team's defense is coming apart... too much dribble penetration, too many WIDE open threes... This team WILL NOT win 60 games... they are at best, a number 4 seed.

This is quite a funk Ray Allens in.

Very bad loss.

Celtics.com got a little ahead of themselves

Wow... we just got f**k*d up the A$$!
We've been exposed! Not good enough!
Our bench is really weak and Danny will need to make moves.
Or Sam will need to start playing instead of coaching.

It's one thing to lose, but it's another to lose to cellar dwellers with regularity. This team hasn't been right since the Lakers game.

Like I said before, Doc's lack of confidence in the bench and his refusal to play them is taking a toll on the starters. Until Doc plays the bench and cuts down on the starters minutes I would expect a lot more games like this in the near future.

Yes and what is going to happen tomorrow when the rockets come into town. Doc wore he startes out for what? A loss to the freaking bobcats.

The game proves excatly why the cavs and lakers are better.

Have you given any thought of shining any of your wonderful light of them and maybe rooting for those 2 teams....huh. :lol:

Ray Allen 48min
KG 41 min
Pierce 38min

Think the big 3 will be rested for Houston tommorow? ugh

I was looking forward to the Cs winning in Cleveland.. looks like it will be a miracle if they dont get blown out.

What an embarrassment this team is. They lose to the freaking knicks and then they barley show up against the bobcats.

Does anybody believe they can win against the rockets or cavs? This team peaked way to early. I can honetly see this team winning just 45 games.

Guess what? We have a west coast trip coming up soon so the losses are really going to pile up then.

Rondo needs to play better defense.

He isn't playing solid D and he's turning the ball over like a rookie.

This team is going through the motions and then digging themselves in a hole they can't get out of and it's really disappointing especially since it's on the road and to bad bad teams.

I call it like I see it and right now those two teams are better. This team IS NOT as good as their record. Supposed contenders do not lose to 3 500 teams in a span of 10 days.

This team is a bunch of pretenders who are mentally weak. Lakers broke the celtics back on Christmas.

Bobcats cheated. They got the GOAT spilling crunchtime secrets into their ears..h'aha.

On a serious note, I think Celtics will lose to a lot of young underdog teams. But for the games that count, they'll handle business.

It's okay guys. You will have 2 free wins against the Raptors this coming Sunday and then the next day on Monday in a back to back.

If Doc was smart he would have rested the starters in OT. I knew this game was over in the first half, not sure why Doc did not see that.

Why did the Celtics Lose Tonight?

1. Rondo made 9 turnovers all by himself

2. Ray Allen 7-20 FG (although he did score 20 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 0 turnovers)

3. The Celtics gave up 17 points in a 5 minute overtime (already lost in regulation).

4. Glen Davis is not an NBA player. Neither is Brian Scalabrine. Drop them from the rotation.
**** Better yet, give Davis and Scal's minutes to 22 year old Patrick O'Bryant.
**** At least the Celtics would be developing a real player.

Nothing is a given with this team anymore. Losses against the knicks and bobcats prove that.

Right ......... so give up a win to rest starters. I'm glad you're not the Celtics coach.

The C's are in a funk and will bounce back, but right now ... it's bad. I mean, Knicks, Blazers [w/o Roy], and now the Bobcats.

Yuck.

Pierce is the only one showing up. I love how we under-utilise him constantly.
