Taking Stock: Celtics - Raptors

Found February 11, 2012 on Red's Army: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Avery Bradley,  Mickael Pietrus,  Doc Rivers
TEAMS: Boston Celtics

After every game, we'll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player's overall value. Starters I'm not going to bother going through them all individually.  I'm sorry KG gets swept in this because he had a decent game.. but even he needed to do more.  If you're the only guy hitting them, then you need to be the guy taking them.  Sometimes, your job isn't to get other guys going, it's to start carrying the team yourself.  And let's not start on Rondo's night.  One of his worst games as a Celtic. Bench Same goes for the bench.  Avery Bradley and Mickael Pietrus get swept up in the putrid display.  They at least did something. But this is like standing next to the guy who got sprayed by a skunk.  It's going to get on you too... and it's impossible to get that stink out.  Coaching Doc Rivers:  I loved the outburst.  Those guys deserved it.  But why did...

If you want to know what went wrong with the Celtics in Toronto, just read my preview. It was spot-on, minus the score. The highlight of the game was Doc Rivers outburst during a 20-second time-out. Doc walked onto the court and blasted his players. The above screen-grab (courtesy Chris Forsberg) is a timid snapshot of Doc's tirade. The Celtics sucked. Flat. Out. Sucked. Box score

Paul Pierce missed his chance to nail the game-winner. Ray Allen was open on the last play of regulation, but Pierce couldn’t get him the ball.

There are clunkers, and then there are games like the Celtics played on Friday night. Of course, I'm giving the Celtics credit by saying that they actually "played" the Toronto Raptors. I think some more realistic terms would be "walked through," "forgot to attend" and "were in a coma for." I've seen more energy and aggressiveness...
