The fact Rajon Rondo played just 43 seconds of the fourth quarter last night was not the deciding factor in the Celtics’ 83-78 loss to Orlando. Nor was Doc Rivers wrong or right for leaving his point guard on the pine.

But the situation is quite representative of the Celts’ largest problem right now. The coach doesn’t know what he’s going to get when he puts any given group on the floor, so when something is going a little right, he’s loathe to make a change.

the celts are loaded with former all-stars,the problem is that they are aging and trying to blend the aging with the youth isn't working.many celtics fans were predicting that the first or second loss would not come until sometime january,well the fourth loss came last night with less than a week before thanksgiving.

I just don't think the Celtics or any team is going to go undefeated through an NBA season, as the media had intimated after a few wins.There is a need to improve and get better, which I believe this team will do.

This Celts team with all its talent on paper is clearly disfunctional. I can't help but think that Rasheed is the reason the glue disolved. Psychologically he's clogging all the flow with his Walker-like play. Doc should see this!
