Ok, Now I'm Starting To Get Mad!

What the hell is going on right now?  I know Aaron will break down tonight's game but I need to vent.  Why are the Celtics so soft all of the sudden?  Why isn't anyone stepping up in crunch time? 

I'm sick of seeing Doc laugh off bad calls with the referee when he disagrees.  Doc needs to flip out and get thrown out of one of these road games.   Do something to light a fire under the team's collective ass! 

Perk played 19 minutes and only had 2 points (both from the line) and 3 rebounds!  Really Perk?  It's time to man up and play like the beast you're supposed to be!

Leon plays only 6 minutes tonight.  6 friggin minutes?  Why all of the sudden does Doc feel like he needs to get Big Baby involved?  Leon hasn't done anything to lose his minutes so stop messing around with the rotation.  This isn't the preseason!

Sam Cassell is absolutely useless if he isn't knocking down shots.  Tonight he was useless as he went 0-5 from the field.  FREE EDDIE HOUSE!! 

Pierce and Ray need to stop playing like rookies.  These two are driving me crazy!!  Lebron had three fouls on him at the half.  Lebron finished the game with three fouls!!  Pierce needs to attack Lebron and take the ball to the hoop.  Another foul early in the 3rd would have put Lebron on the bench for a good stretch.  When Lebron went to the bench at the end of the first half it was the only time the C's did anything productive all night long.  Ray needs to stop waiting until the second half to join the action.  Would someone please tell him the first half counts?

KG was solid but I'd love to see him go towards the basket a little more instead of always falling away.  On the road you need to force the referees to make calls and you're not going to do that by taking fade away jumpers.   

I still think the C's will win this series but this road thing is getting on my nerves.  It's strictly mental at this point and the fact that this team can't overcome that is really disappointing.  I'm sick of hearing them in the post-game interview talk about how they just need to come out with more focus and energy for the next game.  Stop talking about it and just get it done!

I agree... we need House. Immediately.

Well said Josh, but keep in mind that the home team has only lost one game in this round. That is balance in both divisions. However, I agree 100% about stepping up and knowing when to take the ball to the hoop and when to stop and pop.

The boys look like the just step aside when LeBron is driving. Leon would be taking the charge. We need more guys to sacrifice their bodies.
