It's one thing not to have your best player and motivator for a game. It's another thing to replace him with Brian Scalabrine. I understand it's a game of match-ups, but the Magic must have been laughing their collective asses off when they saw "Veal" stroll onto the court for the opening tip.

How about Leon Powe? He's clearly become the teacher's pet lately. Or Glen Davis? Can anyone tell me why he didn't play? But as buzzer-beater losses go, this one didn't have quite the sting. Maybe because we're banged up and it took a 26-foot heave by one of the ugliest men in the NBA to beat us...on the road. Regardless of how you want to spin the loss, the Celtics are 5-5 in their last ten games.

It's time to start pointing fingers at the weakest link on this team. Rondo? Nope. Doc Rivers? You guessed it. I just can't figure out this guy's rotations. And where's the rule that says you must sit two of the Big 3 at the start of the 2nd quarter? And why does Pierce always get stuck with the bench guys late in the 3rd? And while I'm in a pissy mood, can we stop mentioning Ray Allen as a potential All-Star this season? He's not even close.
