What happened to the defense?



The Celtics have now allowed the opposition to shoot .450 or better from the field in 4 of the last 5 games, and as a result is a very pedestrian 3-2 in those.

Whatever happened to the team that took pride in its defense?!

Throw in the fact that we were also outrebounded in 4 of the last 5 contests (despite being a very good reboudning team over the last two seasons -- with and without Garnett), and it seems like Doc has his work cut out for him. Either that, or it's time for the players to step it up.

Adrian Wojnarowski calls out Rondo for his trash-talking in an article at Yahoo! Sports. The article focuses chiefly on Chris Paul, but there are some interesting tidbits about what exactly transpired after the end of the NO-BOS game.

KD, drop the filler, eh?

Mercifully, Kelly Dwyer's top 10 lists seem to have come to an end with the Top 10 players of the decade. Not before he made a fool of himself again, though.

I never thought much of our uniforms, but apparently KD does. It's interesting that he doesn't mention the green and gold St. Paddy shirts, which I thought were our best kit by far.

James said he sent an e-mail to Howard following Saturday’s game.

"It’s hard for me to congratulate somebody after you just lose to them," he said. "I’m a winner. It’s not being a poor sport or anything like that. If somebody beats you up, you’re not going to congratulate them. That doesn’t make sense to me. I’m a competitor. That’s what I do. It doesn’t make sense for me to go over and shake somebody’s hand."

..says one East scout

Found the following comment at Yahoo:

"Mikki Moore does not fit well with them at all, says one East scout. One of their problems is that Big Baby [Davis] can’t hit a shot outside of five feet. Moore does not help with that. His shot is awful. He can’t pass, he can’t put the ball on the floor. He provides energy, but not much else."

 

Davis is actually probably better shooting from 15 feet than trying to finish under the basket. It comes as no surprise than then this "scout" has no cluse that Moore actually _can_ shoot. This guy is incompetent.

R.I.P. Helen Heinsohn

Tom Heinsohn's wife Helen, known to those who follow the Celtics on Comcast SportsNet and NBA TV as "the red-head from Needham", lost her battle with cancer yesterday. She was diagnosed with the condition in 2002, and I believe that her condition was the principal reason why Tommy has stopped doing away games as of late.

The thoughts and prayers of the whole Celtics nation should be with our favorite homer right now more than any other time.

R. I . P.

Here's a nice article from the Globe archives.
