That's all I wanted to say ... hope Doc gets them rolling but right now they suck.

Very old and their legs have accumulated a lot of minutes over the last few years. That said, their bench is still very deep and they have one of the best PG's in the game. They need a big man badly, but they'll be better when Pierce gets healthy. This is still a team that will make the playoffs.

I think the lockout should actually help them.

Old, yes, but short season, a lot of talent and a good bench. If they stay healthy, including a healthy Pietrus, they're still a contender, imo.

They won their first game tonight ... problem is if either Pierce, Garnett, Rondo or Allen are injured they are a sub .500 team. I'm still a fan but I think Danny went one year too long ... perhaps he has a plan to dump contracts before the trade deadline if things are not going well ... we'll see.

no way in hell the lock out helps the celtics. the last thing they need is to be playing back to back to back nights and back to back games and 4 games in 5 nights ect ect ect. 82 games spread out between oct and april would have been much better for them then the 60 something games crammed into late dec and april.

yup, they need to be healthy

chicowalker

sure, the back-to-backs hurt them, but the season is also 2 months shorter

What matters is for them to be healthy come the playoffs. We'll see which direction it goes.

captain insano

ya no sh1t they need to be healthy that's obvious. its going to be extremely hard for them to do that when your stuffing 62 games into a 4 month period. doc rivers himself commented after the hornets game they looked old and that was after 3 games in four nights. the schedule is a killer.

yawn... I wonder if you're as much of an ass in person as you are from behind a keyboard

the first 3 games were also 2 men down, one of whom is a starter.

Like I said, and you can ignore all you want, but the season is also 2 months shorter (more when you add the preseason that didn't occur), and that part is a good thing.

We'll see who's right.

captain insano

one of the men down got hurt without playing a game because hes oldddddddddddddddddddddd and has logged tons of playing time over the years. people get hurt more when they get old. the season is 2 months shorter and the those two months off are now gone. how did all that time off benifit pierce? he still got hurt didnt he? something tells me your stupid weather or not you are behind your keyboard.lol
