Isn’t 4 days rest the normal rest? Way to take control Bobby V. It’s too bad the fans care more than the players. Clay must have already gotten a tee time and didn’t want to cancel it. I’ll bet my bottom dollar that he is not hanging out in the hotel room “resting” today. 

Morales was a starter in Colorado, he will be fine

this team is plain rediculous!…Selfish million dollrs babies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What’s new……………………another prima donna!

I don’t understand this entry. It seems you are writing that Carroll was less to blame for the team’s decline than Bob Kraft was? If Carroll had control, you think the Patriots would have been successful with him? What has Carroll done to make you think he is a good NFL coach?
Look, he seems like a nice guy–very enthusiastic; that, if I remember, was one of the big problems when he was here…he is a guy who fiddles while Rome burns…

 What about losing Curtis Martin at the end of the season and not having him to face the Steelers in the playoffs? They depended on him a lot to take the pressure off of Bledsoe. Even without Martin they had a chance at the end to beat a great Pitt defense…then Bledsoe gets stripped. I would dare to say that if he had a qb like say Brady, his fate may have been a bit different.

Mr. Price you left out quite a few important factors. The lost to the Jaguars because Bledsoe had damaged his finger against Miami and had a pin inserted inot it and could not play in the playoff game. You also forgot that Carrol suspended / benched Terry Glenn for the last 1 to 3 games of the 1999 season. Lastly, you forgot that drafting of our offensive lineman was horrible. Each and every one of the m was out of football within 2 years of BB taking over.

As much as I maligned Carroll when he coached the Pats, I was happy for him when he did so well at USC, albiet with the Reggie Bush scandal and the subsequent 2 year bowl ban.

He may have been a good football coach on many areas, but he did NOT hvae what the team need at that time which was  atotal change of the Patriots culture. The culture that BB brought was and has been the biggest diffrence. I remember living N Californai when BB had only been a coach for a month during the off season. He called everyone in the

 team and stated” I can not believe how may players are so out of shape and over weight during the off season. That was one of his first press conferences and  I recall saying to myself as I was living in the leftcoast. Way to go Bill !!. Pete did not, and still does NOT have the spine to call a whole team and tell them how weak they are,!! That was and is still the biggest diffrence NO SPINE!!

Wilcox is great at backing up Crawford to finish.  We will have a strong bench going forward.  Williams looked very good at seeing good passes.  DA did good.  Our D looked a little weak yesterday which concerned me but offense was great.  Green needs to start to get all we can out of him.  Bass defense actually looked good but he could not shoot yesterday.  He seems to have only one shot which is usually pretty good.  I would have traded him.

Lots of red flags on Crawford. Wasted, unfocused energy all over the place. Needs to be reined in quickly or will not fit in. His defense, at first glance, was horrible.

Danny looking better now with this Green trade.It hurt them in 2011 with Rondo sulking and breaking up winning combo that won it in 08 and almost in 2010.Celtics go down in second round that year without Perkins and Danny looked foolish but now we are seeing Greens talent so we may change the attitude toward this trade.

It seems the more players the C’s lose the better they play LOL. If Pierce had sat out last night as well, the Suns probably would not have even shown up :)

Fun game to watch. Loved their energy and ability to score points.

 Everyone played well last night and that is great!! However they didn’t have a single practice and we all saw it before that when Doc starts playing with new guys minds and keep insisting on his way of defense and running back after missed shot ( because stats show that it’s better to run back and be set on defense ) than go with the flow of the game and try to rebound for a second chance points. It will get in to there heads and they will start to think to much second guess them selfs and will drop offensively. He needs to let them play the Ball maybe move Green to starting 5 and have PP move to the bench and than they will have a killer bench that will beat any given bench in NBA.
 They have a ton of talent that is willing and ready to prove them selfs. All they need is some confidence and support from coaching staff and veterans and they will be golden. Love KG, PP, and Rondo and I want them to retire as Celtics but team goes before anyones ego.

Everything seemed to go Portland’s way.  It seems like it is there team strategy to shoot 3 pointers and draw foul.  That aside, the starters did OK but the bench shot like crap 27%.  After the Suns we all crazy over William and Crawford; people were like we better give William a contract.  Well let’s hold on a bit.  Green also cooled off tonight.  PP looked good.  Why was Williams shooting so much, why did he not pass the ball like he did so good with the Suns?  Bad night, they better win in Utah.

 Yeah, another game where they were right in it until the very end. Celtics just have a tough time on the road and they are equally bad at closing out games they should win. The best I see this team is a 5th or 6th place finish, in the conference, and maybe a first round win if they can keep the remaining team healthy.

It appeared the doc let em play against the Suns and doc tightened up tonight and his team tightened up with him.  I am beginning to think the Doc is part of the problem, he does not seem to understand the needs of his new team.  They are not the big theree , in fact they are not the big two any more.  We have a good team but a different team.  Is Jeff Green being used right, does doc trust the new players, is doc locked into Paul and KG ball, can we play KG and Paul ball land win?

Good job keeping this crappy team together

HEY THEY ARE BETTER WITHOUT RONDO

Get used to it Celtic fans, this is what the team will be for another 10 years a bunch of average and over the hill players scraping and clawing to get the 8th seed in the playoffs only to get booted in the first round. So glad Danny didn’t trade the “soul” of the team or the “captain”. Loyalty to old players gets you 20 years in the lottery.

your team Danny 

your team Danny 

When Pierce scores over 20 it usually means we are playing the slow ball 2 man game KG and Pierce, and we end up losing.  Play the up tempo game with Green as the go to guy.  When Green is the focus of the offense they are a better team.  

Quite possibly they dont make the playoffs, which wont break too many hearts.  I think the reason for not moving Paul and KG – besides the undying loyalty, is to pick up one or more “pieces” in the offseason to give the boys in green “one last run”.

I feel bad for any fan who stayed up to watch the game.  No reward there….

For awhile there they forgot how to move the ball around creating alot of one on one and then missed shots. A game they most definitely should have won.

 Yes that makes sense that with another year of wear and tear next season gives better chance to win it all.

and trading pierce for humphries/brooks/1st rd pick and garnett for bledsoe/jordan makes you better? not at all. I love that people say “blow it up”. First of all don’t discount the human element to all this. If we were in Danny’s position we would probably think differently as well…As a fan, I would rather have pierce/garnett for this and next year, than humphries/brooks/jordan/bledsoe

Paul Pierce is an unbelievable basketball player. Watching him adapt throughout a game, setting up moves and then executing them with precision, is thoroughly satisfying to watch. And it doesn’t hurt that he appears to enjoy and appreciate what he does for a living.

Start Green and Sullinger next year,pick up that missing center,  bring Pierce and Garnett off the bench.  Be much more effective playing 20-25minutes.  And be better poised to win than right now,
