Happy Frickin' Holidays. UGLY Game In Portland Leads to 3rd Loss in 4 Games.




First Kobe took a dump in our Christmas stockings. Then the Golden State Warriors crashed Chanukah. Now on the eve of New Years Eve, a Roy-less Portland Trail Blazers finished 2008 delivering the Celtics their 3rd loss in the last week. Thats more losses than they had in the last two months.

Sure no one's panicking. The Celtics are at the end of a long Western road trip, and its only natural that they fade. But for a while we thought the Celtics were near invincible, and now all of a sudden we are finding a few holes in the Celtic's underwear.

The Celtics are just one big-man short. We saw it last night and we've seen it before. Leone and Baby have been doing their thang, but they lack a true backup center. Especially, since Patrick O'Bryant has a warm-up suit fused to his body.

The same can be said for the point guard position. Eddie House is not a point guard. He's fine to get by, but when the chips are down, we need a backup to run the show. While Gabe Pruitt does a lot of smiling, he does not do a lot of playing. Until Starbury arrives, the Celtics will just have to make do.


These 3 losses were more of a fluke than anything, but keep in mind the Celtics are not perfect. The NBA cream of the crop is creamier this year and if the Celtics are going to outlast the Cavs, Hawks, and Lakers, again this year, they still have work to do.
