Rebuilding Time

Alright last night was fucking pathetic for the Celtics. It proved that they are too old to compete for rings. The Miami Heat's big three are going to be tough to beat the next few years. It is rebuilding time, we got Rondo and Jeff Green and a couple other young guns and we need more of that. Perkins would have fucking been nice, thanks Ainge.

From ESPN:
Rajon Rondo, the point guard who set the Celtics apart for most of the season, was on the bench with a bad shoulder, an aching elbow and a cranky back. Jermaine O'Neal, the defacto starting center, was sidelined with his own back problems. Paul Pierce was in and out of the game with foul trouble.
And still the Celtics held an 81-74 lead with 9:21 to go in the game.
"I thought we were playing great," Green said.

Stop me when you've heard this before. Down the stretch, while Boston turned the ball over and missed wide open shots, the Heat turned it up and completely dominated play. In past games, Miami beat Boston driving into the teeth of its defense.

In this game, the Heat obliterated the Celtics with 3-point shooting.
Three in particular were killers: a James Jones trey with 3:45 to go (which proved to be his only bucket of the night) just after a Kevin Garnett turnaround rolled off; a LeBron fallaway 3-pointer over Pierce in the corner with 2:11 left to push Miami in front 90-87, and another contested LeBron 3-pointer over Pierce's outstretched arms with 40 seconds left to clinch it.

That dagger followed Pierce's pass to Green in the corner that skipped off his hands and out of bounds. 

The nursing home three

Doc says he is "leaning" to coming back. Now we just need a few young guys and to let Rondo's arm heal and reload. Next year will be tough. The Big Three are all under contract, but in two years Dwight Howard will be up for grabs. Dwight and Rondo together? Damn that sounds okay. He's fucking better than Shaq. Who knows what the Celtics will look like in a few years? Rondo will be sick for a long time, but I think we have a tough year coming with aging veterans, Celtic's fans.
