Celtics at HOME. No Top 5 Western Team is supposed to lose to the Celtics At Home. I'm sorry but the Timberwolves are not real. This Sunday they lose to the Celtics and last Sunday they lose to the Sixers without Iverson-LOL MINNESOTA IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!!!!

You are a joke. Think before you post. No top 5 team in the west should lose to Atlanta or Miami, or Boston either. But guess what? They all have. Again, think before you post. One game does not determine the outcome of an entire season.

Minnesota has lost to Atlanta, Philly last sunday and Boston tonight. They are no longer a Elite Western Team. THEY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pfff. I'm not worried. They're still figuring out how to fit Szczerbiak and Hud into the mix. They'll have it all figured out. I would prefer them playing better on national TV, though.

Especially against BOSTON

What is not to believe about it? 'Good' teams lose to bad teams all the time, not sure why this would be so shocking.

I am disappointed in Minnasota, they are one of the teams I am rooting for in the Western Conference. Maybe they can get famous Minnesota native Prince to play for them, if he plays half of good as the made up Prince on the Chappelle show plays.

And as a Knick fan I am pissed at Minnesota, for losing to the Sixers and Celtics, two teams the Knicks are battling for the playoffs. (though Sixers and Celtics are the two teams that are the least of a threat to make the playoffs) Can't they do us one favor?, after all we gave them Sprewell.

I as a KNICK fan felt it was time for Spree to take his attitude to another team. If you know most of the team is looking at you for leadership why not walk the straight and narrow path during the season..show up on time. dont break your hand..play hurt. I dont agree with what they got in return..van horn then in turn thomas..so basically you traded spree for t. thomas when you could've got more.

I give Minnesota a pass for lossing to the Sixers in Philadelphia. I believe that if your the home team you always have a shot of winning the game. Example, Lakers losing to the Hawks in Atlanta.

No matter how inferor you are to the other team, if you are at home you have a punter's chance of winning. But Minnesota has no excuse for losing to the Celtics at home.

Swimfan85 · 03-08-2004, 04:19 PM

alright soo the celtics went on a tough skid, but they have won 5 straight and it was a very impressive win last night, I dont think celtics are bad, but I dont think they are anything special either

Maybe with a good Point Guard. Atkins is ok. He does not draw the double team . They need to wait for Welch to develop so they can have a good SF. I dont think Davis is a scoring threat. Maybe a dunker..but no pure shooter. Baker was the low post threat. I think Mims might be a better PF than center. Pierce has become a streaky shooter. They aight. If Lafrentz where not hurt then we might see a run at the playoffs....and a first round exit.*l*

The reason for them loosing is plain & simple:
OVERCONFIDENCE!! YEAH!! THAT WILL COST ANYBODY AND/OR ANY TEAM A WIN!!

That is the difference between a young team like the T- Wolves, which core group is together for the first time this season, and more experenced teams like the Lakers, Kings, Spurs, Mavericks, and even the Nets, they know better than to play down to your competition and take things for granted.

EricIdlefan · 03-08-2004, 07:06 PM

You got that right!!

Didnt the Kings recently get beat by a scrub team - the Hawks I think, as did the Lakers by the Hawks. Just because a team is bad - they are still NBA players - not some gym players.
