When the Celtics entered their locker room Wednesday night, each had a pair of red boxing gloves in their stations emblazoned with the signature of the world’s best fighter – Manny Pacquiao.
Yet rather than rush to check out their new toys, they all left the gloves safely tucked in the upper shelves. Ray Allen said he didn’t know why they were there or how they got there. Kendrick Perkins shrugged when asked how he was going to use them.
The Celtics then went out and played a game against
Hatton was knocked down twice in the first round, then knocked out from a vicious Pacquiao left with one second remaining in the second round.
You could argue the Celtics didn’t even make it that long against a comparatively far-inferior opponent.
It was 33-13 before many of the fans even got to their seats. Those who followed the game on their radios and smart phones while running late may have been better off tossing the tix and grabbing a couple of pints across the street at The Fours instead.
It was that bad.

I was a psychology major in college so I consider myself a pretty big expert when it comes to the science of the mind. Thus, I’ve come to offer you my couch as well as a full explanation of the Seven Stages of Grief that you’ve likely suffered as a Celtics fan. Read through the following stages as they’ve played out over the course of this strange and thus far disappointing season. You may recognize some, if not all of them. No, you’re not crazy. The fact that you’ve become this upset makes you saner than Anna Freud. Onto the stages…

Just a quick note here, but as a companion piece to Justin's tour de force a few weeks ago questioning the heart of this Celtics team following a loss to the SIX win New Jersey Nets, I too have reached a breaking point with the 2010 Boston Celtics. All that was good about the 2008 Celtics and made them one of the more enjoyable teams to watch in all of sports has transformed into a stanky, decaying mess of selfishness, confusion, and worst of all... ambivalence. Maybe there is a switch to be thrown the moment the endless 82 game regular season ends and the playoff start, but can anyone with a functioning cerebral cortex believe that this group could even find such a light switch? We are a good two weeks following Paul Pierce's return from injury and nearly a month since Kevin Garnett returned from his knee hyperextension/ruse/bruise, and yet the losses and inability to accomplish even the most basic of tasks on the court continue to grow. Ubuntu has been replaced with "UTurnoverTooMuch" and the vaunted Celtic defense now looks like the C's defense of 2007, only considerable less heart and significantly more talent. Arguably, the weak performance by this group of Celtics, injuries aside, ranks lower than the Patriots' own poor performance in 2009 and rivals the current choke job being put forward by last NHL season's top Eastern Conference team, TD Gardenmate - Boston Bruins.
The only thing, and I mean the ONLY thing, I am hanging my hat on at this time are comments Steve Bulpett made to us during our CSL Sunday show from two weeks ago where Bulpett intimated that Danny Ainge will not hesitate to make significant changes to this roster if the apathetic play going on at that time continued. Well, consider a 20 point home loss to the Grizzlies as Exhibit B.
I might not yet be ready to pull off the "shame on you" routine Justin laid out, but I am willing to publicly declare that I hate this team, the 2010 Boston Celtics. I look forward to hear Doc Rivers' excuse making in overdrive tomorrow morning on WEEI, but I've seen enough to know this isn't turning around this season. You can point to Rasheed. You can point to injuries. You can point to revolt from within the roster between the older and younger players. Yet, the fact remains this isn't turning around anytime soon, and making changes this summer will be incredibly difficult, despite the free flowing free agent market.
and even in the midst of all this crappy basketball, I'll take that any day over the next chump who tells me the number of days until Red Sox Opening Day. Sit on it Potsie.

Exactly one Month ago today Dave, D-Bag , Loretta (new to the Gang) and Myself did a show down in NOLA. The trip was booked to watch the C's and you know Drink, Eat and be Merry... and probably drink a little more. This may be evident if you listen to Jon and Justin on the CSL postgame show that night. While we were down there the Saints had their Super Bowl Parade, the Gang checked it and decided Boston does it better. Boston had 6 in 10 years, im just sayin. Dave let everyone in ear shot know that. The show was done the day of the Hornets game, but the post game reaction was never taped, refer to the CSL call again to see why. We know that all of this is old news, but we had to sober up, find the tapes, edit alot out and here you have it, number 2 in the Gang Green Vacation Series. Enjoy......
