Where's the pride Celtics?

By Chad Garner
Fan Fanatic Sports Staff
If tonight's game was any indication, then the defending world champion Boston Celtics won't make it out of the first round of the playoffs.
Are you kidding me, losing to the Chicago Bulls in Game 1? Shame on you C's. 
I don't care if Kevin Garnett isn't playing, there's no way you lose Game 1 on your home court to a bunch of young punks who should have been scared and tight by having to play the champs.
But it was the other way around. The C's played like they were the inexperienced club and there's plenty of blame to go around ... go ahead, blame everyone, they all deserve to get ripped on.
Chicago rookie guard Derrick Rose looked like a Hall of Famer, scoring 36 points on 12-of-19 shooting with 11 assists. Celtics, please feel free to guard him. Isn't Rajon Rondo suppose to be the fastest point guard in the NBA? Well, why is it that he couldn't stay with Rose? And where was the help defense to block off the drive to the bucket after Rondo got torched? Great teamwork guys! Rondo did have a great game (29 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists) offensively, but his defense just plain old stunk.
Paul Pierce with a chance to win the game in regulation .... money, right? Wrong! He hit the first free throw to tie the game, but choked on the second. It happens, but big-game players make that shot. He carried us last year in the playoffs, so here's your get-out-of-jail-free card. It's the last one, however.
And Ray Allen. I love ya man, but the ball has got to go through the hoop for you to score. You were just awful (4 points on 1-of-12 shooting), there's no sugar-coating that. He'll bounce back, though. He'll light up Chicago in Game 2. If he doesn't, then the C's will be down 0-2.
Where was the defense in the paint? You guys -- I'm calling out Kendrick Perkins and "Big Baby" Davis. How do you guys let pot-smoking Joakim Noah own the boards? Can you believe that stiff had 17 rebounds (5 offfensive)? He's also high on life right now.
You guys better wake up .... and fast.
Celtics fans aren't expecting a repeat without having KG, but at least get out of the first round. The Bulls shouldn't even be competing with you guys. Time to get tough and see what you're all made of.
