Boston Celtics Paul Pierce Suffers Through Miserable Loss To Pistons
December 29, 2010 by Rob Nelson
Filed under MLB
I begin with there was nothing good about this game. The Celtics looked awful on the second game of a back to back. The effort was lacking and the execution was worse. The offense was terrible as the team turned the ball over more times than they had assists. Twenty one turnovers is a joke, [...]

Rajon Rondo will not play Wednesday. However, he is chomping at the bit to return on Friday. The reason is very simple. Chris Paul brings the Hornets to town.

Nate Robinson is struggling with his confidence. It is very easy to tell. He first used his words. He Twittered that the Orlando loss was his fault (no argument here).

The Orlando game was a disaster and fresh in the Celtics’ minds. Doc Rivers had been out coached by Stan Van Gundy by not going and attacking matchups and going with his set rotations. This game Doc made up for it in the second half after Nate Robinson suffered a head butt that required [...]

It was truly a Christmas miracle. Jermaine O’Neal returned to action against Orlando on Christmas. After missing 19 games with his sore knee, O’Neal gave a performance that could be described in one word: rusty. On the offensive end he missed passes in the paint that he normally turns into easy baskets. He did set [...]

Doc Rivers has an issue. Miami is only two games behind Boston and playing something that resembles defense. They smoked a Laker team that seemed very uninterested in competing.
