This won't be long because the Celtics don't deserve it after that game. They lost big to a shitty New Orleans team. Is it because it was their 3rd game in 4 nights? Maybe, but still no excuse. The Celtics are missing Pierce out there and it is showing. A complete lack of offense and production from the starters..cough cough KG cough needs to change starting at the home opener on Friday against Detroit.
The one positive from the game tonight, before I turned it off, was big Greg Stiemsma and his 6 block 4 rebound performance. He was a big presence when he was in and I think that you may see him more in the next few games. Especially if the refs keep putting J O'Neal in foul trouble.
The refs were just as bad tonight and that's all I'm going to say. They all need to get their shit together. The NBA has a serious problem on their hands. Oh yeah and Doc said wel looked old tonight! He was right folks don't flip out at the screen or at me. They were sluggish and were not running the floor. KG only had 8 points and 7 rebounds!
Going off of that I'm worried about KG. He isn't putting up solid numbers and he truly is playing "old" basketball. He isn't a low post threat and he has been leveled down to his 15 foot jump shot (not that it doesn't work). If the Celtics look to stay relevant this season I believe KG needs to look for his shot and be more aggressive again. He needs to re-kindle some Minnesota swag and get back to being the big ticket. KG needs to step it up quickly!
Rondo: 13pts, 6 assists, and 1 steal
P.S. Pierce is looking like he is going to play against Detroit. May not play his normal minutes, but some is better than no Pierce at all.
