THe Nets win their sixth game this year against the Celtics 104-96. THe Celtics commited 18 tournovers and are now 36-21, they are struggling and really only have two quality wins this year, one against the Lakers, and the other agianst the Cavs. Boston looks old, slow, and sluggish. IF I was DOc Rivers I would start being worried.

PF...The Nets will not win 3 more game the rest of the season and will be the worst team in the history of the NBA. I saw them play in person only because I got free tickets and they are absolutely awful!
The Nets are a joke but they are a very young team that has a lot of potential. Brook Lopez is possibly in the top ten of centers already and hes only in his second season in the league. If you went and put him on a good team he'd get a lot of recognition and help a tea, win a championship. I think they said hey were rebuilding with the Vince Carter trade and got a very good young player in Courtney Lee in that trade. Give them a few years they could be a good team.
The Celtics have problems. KG has lost it. Pierce can't seem to stay healthy. Ray Ray is holding a bunch of the load now and you have to wonder what kind of toll it wil have on him by the end of the year. Rondo is turing into on of the gest PG's in the league but he needs to shoot his FT's better and needs to work on that Jumper to get better. And that bench even with Rasheed, Daniels and Nate Robinson off the bench they are pretty weak there.

BBALL.. I know the Nets have problems, but SG said they should worry MORE. If anything, this win should up their morale. Like 88 said: they WILL get better especially with a high pick in this amazing draft class. Even if they don't get John Wall or Demarcus Cousins, their team is still very very young with stars (Brook Lopez, Devin Harris) and guys with huge upside (Terrence Williams, Courtney Lee)

harris+lopez+wall= bright future. but the bigger picture is that the celtics are getting really old. kg and ray allen are wearing down and it shows. should be interesting to see if they make any noise in the postseason

without Paul Pierce they would be a bottom half team.
If I was Rajon Rondo I would want to get out of BOston after this year, Rajon is a great point guard that at least half the teams would want. He should ask for a trade because Boston isn't going to be on the downslide for the next two years, until they hit rock bottom.

Rajon is one of those players that are good because hes surrounded by good players. I doubt he could be in a situation where he is the best guy on the court.

well its not like the celtics are terrible. i mean they are better than all but 2 teams in the eastern conference so they might have a little left in the tank for this season because they dont have that much competition in the east

That may be true, but the two teams who are better then them (Cleveland and Orlando) are head and shoulders above them, and you could make a very good argument that Atlanta is at least as good if not slightly better.
I don't see the Celtics going to the Finals this year.
I think the Celtics are done. KG is being slowed and Pierce isn't doin too hot wither. The only one of the "Big three" playing well is Ray Ray. Rondo is playing decent but can't really do all this by himself. But the Celtics are the fourth best team in the league. Celvland is the best team by a small margin. The Magic are right behind them and te MAgic are hitting their stride at the right time in the season. The Hawks are the third best team and coulkd bring some problems to either Clevland or Orlando who ever they get in the second round

I don't know if I would call them the fourth best I would give that nod to the Nuggets right now, but a team to look out for are the Mavericks they've won 12 straight and looke pretty good right now.
