  1. Hey Boston these are your deep problems:
    Your big men are weak - Clippers beat them and outrebounded them.
    Your coach Rivers cannot come up with normal organized offense for years and years. Offense looks like garbage. You have no back up point guard for two years now and instead use the one-dimensional House who cannot pass and cannot dribble. This is NBA. Your center Perkins has probably the lowest basketball IQ I have ever seen. Neither Rondo nor Perkins nor Powe can shoot free throws, just foul them donw the stretch and they will miss even more. Pierce is overrated and thinks he is the "go to guy" but I see him missing free throws and turning the ball over against the Lakers twice this season towards the end, today too. A team that makes so many turnovers game after game will not get out of the East - imagine giving up so many turnovers against Cleveland, they actually play defense. Down the stretch your offensive set up is confused, and you cannot get a rebound even though you have big guys like Perkins. I just cannot see this confused disorganized bunch that cannot make free throws get past quality teams. We saw you play like that against Lakers at home when nobody could run the offense and like that against SA on national TV. Your point guard cannot shoot, cannot make free throws better than 63%- you are dreaming thinking you can go the finals with this guy? What if somebody backs off of him? Your rebounding is weak. No excuses - your coach Rivers should have prepared the team. I love it, Cleveland and LA are winning. You? Loosing.

  1. Bob Jenkins,

    Why do fans that obviously not from Boston, continue to post on Boston.com?
    We really don't need your negative comments and don't appreciate them.

  1. Bobjenkins,
    The only valid point you make is the turnover problem. Everything else you say is clearly biased towards the Celtics on the grounds that you simply do not like them. You clearly don't watch basketball because you say "Rivers cannot come up with an organized offense for years and years." So last year it wasn't organized on the way to the best record in the league and a championship? This year it isn't organized on the way to a top 3 record in the league? See, I can't take fools like you seriously. Plus, you said "loosing" which is not a word.

  1. Hey Bob Jenkins,

    We are World Champions with ALL the players you call out. Great insight though, really.

  1. Susan,
    A little life lesson for you... Its a big world out there and you won't agree with everyone you meet. That being said, no one cares whether you appreciate their comments or not.

    Classless,
    You really are not one to critique anyone else's posts. I'm just saying.

    You're gimmick of taking the high road on everyone is pretty tired. Thanks for playing.

  1. I'm just relieved the Lakers were able to overcome those early season losses to Memphis and Washington, eh Classless?
