A completely unconscious Jason Richardson (left, courtesy AP) scored 34 points… and big man Nazr Mohammed shot 8-11 off the bench to finish 18 points (and 10 rebounds) in 26 minutes… and the Celtics lost to Charlotte 95-83.
Get what I did there? Big & Rich? Big Man and Jason Richardson? I think it works better this way: There’s no crappier music group out there than Big & Rich… and there’s no crappier game this season than what we just watched.
The Celtics defense took the night off (Charlotte shot 49%). They didn’t seem to want to rebound (they got out-boarded 42-40). They got demolished inside the paint. The C’s got up early and they thought Charlotte would roll over… and they didn’t. And worst of all, they made me look like a complete ass after I came out this morning with talk of 30 point wins.
Look Celtics, I don’t need any help looking like an ass. Just ask my wife… or my coworkers. They all laugh because I want to move to fries… even though I still can’t get a hang of that lettuce station. I mean… “Romaine” lettuce? That’s gotta be fake, right?
The team that came prepared to play won the game…
Tough game to watch gave me a legit reason to drink to much. Instead of making the extra pass would love to see KG on a night like this take those open jumpers from the foul line. Can’t belive I’m complaing about a superstar being to unselfish gotta love KG!!!!
HAHAHA LOST TO THE BOBCATS? HAHAHAHA CELTICS SUCK.. WHERE’S YOUR DEPTH? NO RAY ALLEN.. LOSE TO A SHITTY TEAM? THAT’S RIGHT… DOC RIVERS LIKES TO LEAVE THE STARTERS IN EVEN IN BLOW OUT SITUATIONS.. PIERCE IS THE NEXT TO GO DOWN… THEN KG WILL BE IN THE SAME SITUATION HE WAS WITH MINNESOTA.. LOLOLOL
Ummm… Bryan? We’re 29-4.
The Pistons have lost to Chicago twice… San Antonio has lost to Memphis… Phoenix lost to Minnesota. It happens.
Perfection for 82 games is a lot to ask. Sixteen is a different story!
i love ray, but i dont think we lost because he didn’t play.
actually, i’m a little pissed that everyone is making such a big deal about him missing a game.
my local news guy last night said that it was the first time one of the big three missed a game. dumb.
i guess everyone forgets that he missed games against the bucks and raptors about three weeks ago. games which we won. depth my ass. if anything, in specific games people off the bench (read: tony allen, eddie house, james posey, big baby, and even scott pollard) have each had big games and in general been great contributors.
i like an occasional loss because i feel like we haven’t been playing great lately (compared to the beginning of the season). maybe we needed the wake up call. i see the celtics going on a seek and destroy mission from here and i feel sorry for the next couple teams we play. also, an occasional loss can throw some of the bandwagoners off, thats always nice.
at least i dont have to read any quotes of pierce crying about how the bobcats played like it was a world series.
Where the hell do you live tim? I want to know what local sports guy that was.
springfield, mass.
i believe it was the on nbc 30. ie. dirty connecticut sports news. i only saw it in passing on the late night, so i didnt catch the guys name.
i did a little research: http://www.nbc30.com/meetthenewsteam/index.html
and if you scroll to the bottom you can see the sports “team”. (figured connecticut wouldnt be able to sport a real team of any sort). i’d say 80% it was kevin nathan but i can’t be sure.
that was pathetic… we had the lead early and should have kept it everyone including doc was too relaxed after the big road win. at one point in the second quarter i beleive our lineup was house, t. allen, posey, scal and pollard…. i love our bench but not all in at the same time in the second quarter of a game.. pathetic.. oh yea and that ref definatly had money on the bobcats. homo
I don’t have any scientific or statistical evidence to back me up here, but I’m hypothesizing that we lose every time Scal touches the floor. I mean, how many airballs does this poor excuse for a basketball player have to shoot before everyone realizes he’s terrible?
