WE WOULD HAVE HAD TO TAKE THE CELTICS BEHIND THE BARN TO "PUT THEM DOWN" IF THEY HAD LOST TO THIS TRAIN WRECK
It's a strange new world we're in as Celtics fans to have to worry about being condescending to less successful franchises, but holy crap, did you watch that friggin' game? Sure, Derrick Rose looked good (but not nearly as good as our Rondo), but wow- that team was doing everything right a couple years ago. They had a bunch of young, talented guys that played their asses off, a ton of draft picks, a hardnosed coach.... now.... they literally don't have ONE player that is good enough to play over 30mpg for an NBA team. It's amazing!
Let me point out a few stats from the game:
-Tyrus Thomas went 2-17 from the floor, and was the team's second-leading scorer (tied, with 11 points).
-Nocioni, once a player that was constantly in trade rumors, was the tenth guy off the bench and fouled out in 13 minutes.
-Kirk Hinrich, who is making outrageous money, has been immediately supplanted as the starting point guard. If it weren't for Marbury, he'd be the highest paid backup point in the league and he STILL only scored 6 points in 24 minutes.
-Luol Deng, once thought of as one of the most promising youngsters in the league, a player once thought so promising that people didn't even give him much crap when he TURNED DOWN an offer for $10million per, was the only player good enough to log over 30 minutes in this one (he played 31:52). He scored 8 points. His +/-? -24
-Ben Gordon, who also once was well-regarded enough to turn down $10 million per, was 3-10 from the floor for 11 points.
-Not to get too carried away with the Bulls bashing- Brian Scalabrine was second off the bench for the C's tonight. His stats? 6 minutes played, 0-1 FG, 0pts, 0asts, 0rebs.
Back to the Bulls, though... this team shouldn't be this bad. What the hell is going on over there? It's not just that the team is poorly run (which it definitely is), it's that all of their players are regressing. They are literally getting worse every year. They need to hire some former high school coaches to get these guys working on the basics again, because watching the Bulls is like playing somebody in NBA Jam that keeps getting the "shoot" and "pass" buttons confused.
As for the Celtics, my concern is mostly about the lack of a tough backup center. I know that Powe is playing awesome, but he's more of a "4." Patrick O'Bryant, I love him, but he had 2 turnovers in 3 minutes tonight. The rest of the team, minus Scals, looked good and played a workmanlike game dispatching of the Bulls.
