Thank God for all the All-Star break.
Wednesday's game was more of the same; double-digit lead, putrid third quarter, disappointing loss. The Celtics continued to have turnovers problems (22 for the game) and added poor free throw shooting in this one, going 16-for-27 from the stripe, including eight consecutive misses at one point.
Anyway, I'm happy the break is here -- for my own sanity. It's taxing to follow a team this closely and have them inexplicably fall apart the way the Celtics have lately, and frustrating to see no one do anything to change it. None of Boston's leaders stepped up against the Hornets; Marquis Daniels and Rasheed Wallace, off the bench, were our best players throughout the evening.
There are a million trade rumors floating around right now, most of them centering around Ray Allen. I'm not going to report on them unless something actually happens -- as I said, I need a break. You can catch Rajon Rondo in the All-Star H-O-R-S-E game on Saturday at 7 p.m. Eastern on TNT; Paul Pierce in the three-point contest on Saturday at 8:30 p.m. Eastern on TNT; and Rondo, Pierce, and Kevin Garnett (the latter two hopefully playing only cursory minutes) in the All-Star Game on Sunday at 8 p.m. Eastern on TNT.
