Why does it seem that the Celtics are on TNT every week?

Seriously. It seems that these guys are on every Tuesday. To paraphrase the drill sergeant from Full Metal Jacket, watching these guys play is like watching old people fuck.

I can't leave ABC out of this discussion either. It looks like the Celtics will be on each of the next three NBA/ABC Sundays. Seriously, it looks like the key players on this team have aged about 10 years since they won the championship a few years ago. KG or not, with 1 win in the past two weeks, these guys look like prime fade material the rest of the way. Both the games on TNT were pathetic last night, with the Blazers scoring 7 points in the first quarter in the late game.

Gil i am a die hard Celtics fan and last night was the first time in 11 years i could not turn this the game on. I know people may hate on Rondo but he is the only thing worth watching on that team.

Rondo was just named to the ASG. Good player, but he's missed half the season.

So you regularly watched the C's from 01-now, even though they pretty much sucked until they got KG/ray but last night was the first time you were like damn, I don't wanna watch this? Guess you prefer Ricky Davis or Gerald Green...

I remember Green would comein, run around like a chicken with his head cutoff and pretty much do nothing. Then Tommy would compare him to a young Tmac.

I love the C's but Heinsohn really is an intolerable idiot.

Doubt it....Of all the elite NBA teams, OKC is their toughest matchup easy. Just no matchup for them to milk vs that team, really no advantages whatsoever. However, it is NBA reg season so anything can happen.

If I was gonna go with a C's reg season ML thought I'd do it vs Miami or Chicago before OKC.

OKC played a lot of OT/close games lately. Due for a letdown I suppose...

Who the hell knows, I really stay away from reg season unless I got something I like a lot (nets +12.5 vs Bulls on sat w/ Drose out for instance) What keeps me interested in reg season is mostly fantasy bball.

I haven't missed a game since Brent Zabo was on the team until recently. There were many times i want to shut them off but they had intriguing little pieces like a young PP, Al Jefferson, Ron mercer (only first year until we figured out he could only come off screens to score), Twain (before he started jacking threes or did he always do that) now all they have is a decent young out position pg in Avery Bradley and not much else (not counting Rondo who i love). Just didn't think the end would look so ugly. I guess i had more faith in Danny Ainge to pull some stuff off . Maybe why i stopped watching is because it is so painful for me to watch guys who brought banner 17 look and play so different
