Ummm, no wonder why you don’t Qb anymore. Stick to the bimbo you married. They get sack fumbles almost every time they sack the QB.

What’s with the poison? Ad hominem is the weak-minded way.

do me a favor, don’t ever mention Paul Pierce and Larry Bird in the same sentence, two nights, two missed shots, two losses. Memo to doc when you ISO pierce at the end of a game you lose!!! Sorry to say it but green is better right now.

I disagree. Bird has had his share of missed shots, in the regular season.
However for both players, the playoffs have been a different story .

  This is always an interesting debate …part of the Larry’s allure is simple; The guy, pound for pound, was one of the smartest guys ever to play the game…and yes, he’s missed his share of shots…they all do. ESPN just never replays them…All we see is Jordan’s big shots, Larry, Magic etc….Paul has had his share of game winners…but I do believe Paul is nowhere near the rebounder that Larry was…both offensive and defensive….Larry had a nose for the glass, Paul doesn’t. It’s not a knock…Larry is one of the handful of guys that owned a great all-round game…his team defense was as good as anyone…posts here forget Paul’s HUGE shot against Denver in Denver this year, among others…

There is a bad late game sport virus with all NE teams. Pats led at half lost to Ravens. The Green are folding late in games. The Bruins are losing with leads in third period. The Sox never get a lead.
Time to reverse the the trend.

Something we call “Re-Tooling”. They are all over their prime and are working on building the next great teams. For some teams it may be a while (C’s, Sox)

Boxout

never compare the two, how does one of your forwards go through games with two rebounds? Bird (yes the man who couldn’t run, jump, and no athletic ability) was one of the premier defensive rebounders every year. This team loses because they absolutely refuse to learn to box out as a team and in game after game get torched on second chance opportunities. Their rebounding efforts are pitiful!!

Larry Bird at the ripe age of 35, 20.3 points 9.6 rebounds, but only played in 45 games total, with a near broken back.
Paul Pierce at 35, has got the edge as far as durability goes.
18.4 points 6.7 rebounds 4.7 assists, in 65 games played so far this season.
You could easily compare the two.

    Pierce is definitely becoming a turnover machine. Bad ones of every sort. Troubling.

I agree… Why sign two big guys to contracts for the rest of the season if they can’t help with rebounding when we are undersized compared to the opponent??

Defensive rebounding comes down to 2 things: Technique and will. Apparently they don’t have enough of either.

Green For Life

Look if the score is that close and the other team has the last possession it doesn’t matter how bad the team is or what their record is, there is still a chance that they will steal a win. If you have a thirteen point lead against a team named the pelicans, or more importantly a chance to finish off a team in game 6 like the Lakers or the Heat, that is not the time to slack off and start taking threes. One of the biggest problems with this team is 4th quarter scoring and its just like Doc said, when we have the advantage, we take the pedal off the gas and expect the other team to just give up. Still not worried when we get to the playoffs especially if that game against the Heat was the most trouble that they can give us. But somebody needs to step up and set an example for the rest of the team to keep the foot on the pedal no matter what the score is.

Disappointing game….should of had it, but came out short. As for the tip in, a simple box out or jumping for the rebound would have helped. In terms of the winter teams in Boston, it appears that the third period/quarter is destroying them both. The Celtics got outscored by ten! By the soon to be Pelicans? That is inexcusable.

The team has to come out of the half time better than this. The same thing happened against the Heat.

Agree with Doc that they deserved the loss but once again baffled that the refs can’t come up with the correct call on the replay. Simply geometry would indicate that the ball was still within the cylinder when it was tapped back in. The overhead view confirmed this yet for some reason, the incorrect call is made.
