Surprise, Surprise, Boston Loses On The Road, 77-88

There are many reasons why the Boston Celtics lost their 5th straight playoff road game. They don't have a single player on their roster who is able to step up in the 4th quarter and make... a shot. As a team they could only muster 12 points in the 4th quarter. Sam Cassell (who went 0'fer, once again), absolutely kills our second unit. Our offense, nay, our team, is unable to gain any sort of rhythm on any part of the court while he is in the game. Rajon Rondo took more shots (14) than everybody not named Pierce (17)... but at least Rondo made half of his shots. Perkins served no purpose on the court tonight, and James Posey showed that he is in fact human, with a disgusting -18 +/- rating, bringing nothing on offense and making key defensive errors...
