Jp is seriously upset by Coach Rivers inability to keep his game plan strong for an entire game.
Dave hints that tanking is the right thing to do.
Dave admits to his drinking problem and Jp can’t remember players names.
All this and more this week on PalaceGarden podcast.
Celtics are looking better. Pistons look the same. Once again Dave has won our monthly contest, in fact he has dominated Jp so much Jp has conceded this month early.
Who should the Pistons draft this summer? How far will the Celtics go in the playoffs? Give us your thoughts.
Sorry sorry sorry, Jp is still sick but sucked it up long enough to put out this little gem. If you like, just listen to the silky smooth sound of Dave’s voice and turn down the volume when Jp speaks.
Dave is impressed by the Cavs.
Jp is supremely unimpressed with the Celtics.
Practice makes?
Jp has taken to drinking since the Celtics lost to the Nets.
Dave is starting to look forward to the lottery.
Look out for the suckosity.
That’s the question I have for the readers.
The Celtics current record predicts a 52 win season. 50+ wins used to mean something. A team that could win 50 games was one that had the potential to make some noise in the playoffs. Great franchises could be judged by how many consecutive 50+ seasons they’ve put together.
This Celtics team is not threatening to make noise or be judged a great franchise.
I don’t want to get into the numbers of games lost after leading by blah blah blah. The simple fact is, this team, right now, can not finish games. They have an embarrassing record against the league’s top 5 teams, but in all games played against those teams the Celtics have had stretches where they are clearly the superior team, just not the superior winner.
Last night the Celtics controlled the first half against the Cavs. They looked every bit like the title contender they should be. LeBron got his points, but the defense hounded the other 4 players into bad shots, forced shots and poor play.It should have been a 15 point win for the home team. Then the second half started and the Cavs had renewed focus, a better plan and a serendipitous injury to Shaq. (because he injured his thumb, Cleveland was forced to go small and quick)
I am taking a 10 game hiatus from bleeding green. I’m still going to root for my team, but I don’t care if they win or lose for the next 3 weeks. I want to take a step back and see what they are going to do about being so defeat-able.
The guys aren’t gonna get younger. They can be better conditioned, better prepared and more consistent…now who gets paid to make all those things happen??? Hmmm
Check us out this week as we weigh in on the status of our teams. Listen closely and you might hear Dave giving some praise to the Celtics.
Just like the NBA All Stars, we took a week off from our usual grind but have come back with this little gem.
Help us come up with new wager payoffs, please no one wants to hear Jp sing again.
Thanks for listening.
This week’s depressing show is here for your delight.
Pistons suck.
Celtics suck too.
Is it the All Star break yet?
That’s what I keep hearing in the Boston interverse. Yes I made up that mash up of internet and universe just now because living in reality is just too painful for Celtics and Pistons fans right now. Dave and I were at the Palace last night to witness what can only be called a pathetic outing by the Pistons. As the Celtics fan here, I’m not taking shots at Detroit, it was a totally lackluster, disinterested game from the Pistons. Wade only played the first and third quarters and was last seen sipping a Mai Tai under a beach umbrella receiving a massage about the time the Spare Tires took the floor. But, it’s just one game out of eighty two. Ben Gordon was back, 12 Pistons got some burn, Kwame Brown hit a free throw and some guy in our row won two separate prizes (pizza and some lottery ticket thing). Dave, however cried all the way home.
The Celtics played a better team, performed better but had the same result. A big fat “L”. I missed half the Pistons game while trying to follow the Boston/Atlanta game on my phone. Celtics were up, then down, then came back, then fell down, then….well anyone following the team lately knows the end of this story. Signs of strength then late fades. Us Celtics hopeful keep telling ourselves that this team is about the playoffs. Think of the regular season as extended practice and our preseason. 82 games to get our guys healthy in sync and ready to take on the NBA world in the post season. Work our rotations (and Doc did do that last night right up to the closing ticks of the loss) and put faith in the team and coaching staff. So what’s one more loss? What’s one game out of 82? What’s 15 out of 82? True they are not significant, but at some point they need to become significant. Part of winning is knowing you can. Does this team truly know it can win right now? Right now, I’d have to say no one in the interverse truly does know if this team can win. Right now. Tomorrow is another one out of eighty two.
A recap of the only game Dave can remember, Boston at Detroit.
