The blowout win was nice, but so was the blowout win against Indiana. Smackdowns of inferior opponents mean little to nothing when the NBA's beasts are toying with you. Still, a blowout win against anyone sure beats a loss to New Jersey. We can only hope the Celtics are headed in the right direction.

If you think Skidmore's in the middle of nowhere, you should check out Williams. Their logo is the cow for one of two reasons: It's either 1) Williamstown is populated by more cows than people, or 2) cows are more attractive than 75% of the girls there.

Don't forget about Finley, either!

He's played in the post more and more, and has generally been more active on defense. We're starting to see a different, improved Rasheed. Hopefully, everyone else can change along with him.

I really appreciate it. Apparently, the pregame speech didn't work out too well.

Unfortunately, we've had to lower our standards of good effort. It sucks, but the truth hurts.

I'd love to hear what that "moron" is up to.

They definitely lose the edge, or at least this team has. Not that Tim Duncan or Ray Allen ever wore their emotions on their sleeves, but veteran teams definitely tend to tone it down more often during the regular season than young teams. Whether it's a testament to shrinking talent or just boredom remains to be seen. We'll find out once the playoffs start, I suppose. It was nice to get a break from that tonight with the blowout.

But there's no way Doc Rivers plays a D-Leaguer. Not a chance. Tue, 2 Mar 2010 03:41:53 +0000 http://www.celticstown.com/2010/03/01/report-celtics-contemplating-michael-finley/#IDComment59298739 http://www.celticstown.com/2010/03/01/report-celtics-contemplating-michael-finley/#IDComment59296231 Agreed. But the things Finley would bring are his veteran experience and nice outside shot. Doc Rivers, as much as we'd like him to, isn't going to give any young guys a chance. Definitely not now, as the season winds down. He's been against young guys, for whatever reason, for a long time. He would consider playing a guy like Finley, but I don't think he'd ever give any minutes to an unproven D-League callup, no matter how much better he may be than Finley.

I don't know if he'll ever be able to slap up huge numbers every night and be on a mission to dunk on everyone's head like Shaq used to be. Wed, 24 Feb 2010 16:35:52 +0000 http://www.celticstown.com/2010/02/23/stan-van-gundy-talks-crap-about-kevin-garnett/#IDComment58512303 http://www.celticstown.com/2010/02/20/eddie-houses-finest-moment-in-celtics-green/#IDComment58256898 I know. Watching this play literally gives me the chills. What a Herculean effort. Wally's pretty slow, but Eddie's no Usain Bolt either. It was pure heart. Celtics could use some of that heart the remainder of the season, even though Eddie won't be in Boston anymore.

I tried so hard, but couldn\\\'t find it. Second quarter, wow. I thought for sure it had been the fourth. Mon, 22 Feb 2010 21:37:38 +0000 http://www.celticstown.com/2010/02/20/eddie-houses-finest-moment-in-celtics-green/#IDComment58248514 http://www.celticstown.com/2010/02/17/marquis-daniels-possibly-part-of-nate-robinson-trade/#IDComment57370187 No way they give up Gallo. He's their most talented player and makes $3 mil a year. I think it would have to be a third team to have Daniels involved, but -- as above -- with House saying he'll be traded and Daniels not notified, looks like we'll still have 'Quisy tomorrow. Thu, 18 Feb 2010 01:03:29 +0000 http://www.celticstown.com/2010/02/17/marquis-daniels-possibly-part-of-nate-robinson-trade/#IDComment57370187 http://www.celticstown.com/2010/02/17/marquis-daniels-possibly-part-of-nate-robinson-trade/#IDComment57370048 My pleasure. What else was I going to do all day... study? Please. I don't know where Marquis would fit in in a trade to New York. There would probably have to be a third team involved. That Eddie House has been told he will be traded and Daniels hasn't likely means we're safe, though. Thu, 18 Feb 2010 01:02:08 +0000 http://www.celticstown.com/2010/02/17/marquis-daniels-possibly-part-of-nate-robinson-trade/#IDComment57370048 http://www.celticstown.com/2010/02/16/rumor-ainge-reluctant-to-pull-trigger-on-allen-trade/#IDComment57248679 I wouldn't want Nocioni at all. His contract is $7 mil for the next two years, and he's not a game-changer, really. Martin would be nice, but he'd almost definitely have to be packaged with Nocioni, and I'm not sure Ainge goes for that. Plus, A. Sherrod Blakely said Martin isn't likely to be moved anywhere. Iggy and Dalembert might work. The drawbacks are that Dalembert has an awful $12 million contract for next season, so it would be a hefty sum for Wyc and the rest of the owners to pay. Also, Iggy has a large contract of himself, and it's long-term. I think Iggy fits the best skill-wise of the players rumored to come here, but his contract is simply bad. The problem with Boston is that they have all the talent necessary to make a championship run, they've just been under-achieving. I wish the deadline could come a week or two later, so they could have a little more time to right the ship or see if it keeps sinking. Ainge is in a tough spot.

On a veteran team, one lazy sixth man shouldn't be able to completely infect the rest of the team. But I saw something on NBATV last night that sparked my curiosity. Charles Barkley said that there came a time in his career when people couldn't expect him to be healthy anymore; he wasn't hurt, he was just old. Full health just wasn't coming back. And the Celtics might be the same way. It might have gotten to the point where we all rue their lack of heart and energy on the court but, in reality, they're all working as hard as their old, beaten-down bodies can take. Wed, 10 Feb 2010 00:09:09 +0000 http://www.celticstown.com/2010/02/09/throwing-some-dimes-rondo-blade-talk-allen-trade-talk/#IDComment56087677 http://bosceltics17.blogspot.com/2010/02/scott-souza-will-it-be-enough.html#IDComment55673279 Definitely. Their potential is far greater than what they're showing right now. Sun, 7 Feb 2010 01:28:17 +0000 http://bosceltics17.blogspot.com/2010/02/scott-souza-will-it-be-enough.html#IDComment55673279 http://bosceltics17.blogspot.com/2010/02/scott-souza-will-it-be-enough.html#IDComment55669082 I think it tends to be the other way around. When the wheels fall off, they all fall off. As a team gets older, injuries are going to happen. KG will never be the same. Pierce will be more banged up than he has been. Still, other injuries like The Eleventh Hour's are just bad luck. Hopefully, things will turn around.
