Re: Bye bye Ricky

I painfully watched the whole game against Philly.

The Celtics are just standing around.....espeically Pierce of all people!
Someone stole the ball from him, and he just stood there instead of running
to the other end of the court to stop the layup.    The only 2 players that
were actually showing any effort on the court was Potopenko and Battie.
Pierce had no expressions on his face, almost like he was in a daze.

Philly had many uncontested layups ..... almost like all the C's were afraid
to foul someone.....even on half court sets.  Their defense sucks (sorry,
but it does).  In addition to the never ending layups that Philly got, every
shot they took, there was no one within 15 feet of the person!

I was really hoping that Pitino would rise this team to the top, but at this
point, I am having more doubts than ever.  I would have to agree with Paul,
that Gaston should pull the plug now before it is too late.  I really liked
Pitino, but it's just not working!

All I want for Christmas this year.....is a new coach.
