Celts Interested in the Corpse of Michael Finley

According to Yahoo sports, the Celtics are interested in Michael Finley.

Y! Sports: Cs considering idea of trying to sign Finley, but offer has not been made. Veteran swingman shooter would be welcomed addition.

Are you kidding me?  This is pointless.  No one loved Findog more than me when he was on Dallas but this guy's definitely done.  I mean the Spurs are supposedly competing for a title and they release him; what does that say?  Hopefully he realizes he has a much better chance of winning a title in Dallas this year and they have a spot for him.

Did I mention Go Mavs lol?!

Perk out for Wednesday's game, but Pierce to play

Boston Globe

Captain Paul Pierce (right thumb) returned to training Monday and will be in the starting lineup when the Celtics visit Detroit Tuesday night. But center Kendrick Perkins (flu symptoms) did not practice and is doubtful for the game.

Let's hope that Pierce is completely healed and not rushing back again, due to our recent struggles. We're not winning in the postseason if Pierce is anything less than 100%

The Celtics forgot about Ubuntu

The Celtics loss to the Nets last Saturday was devastating and embarrassing. However, it underlies a bigger and much more serious issue about this Celtics team. That issue is they have forgotten about "Ubuntu." This was their mantra for the 2007-2008 season and was the driving force toward their 17th banner. Its basic principle is one team, one goal. It embraced the principles of teamwork both on and off the court, and you could sense the team really believed in it.

This year's team lacks that sense of continuity. Sure, they are older and have had to deal with a ton of injuries, but that is no excuse for plain lack of effort. The whole "we are bored excuse" is a bunch of bull. You get paid millions of dollars to play the sport you love. It is your job to give 100% effort every night and if you don't the fans deserve their money back. I saw a lack of interest on the court last Saturday. The Nets were 2-27 on the road and they came in and dominated the game from the start. When did the Garden become such an easy place to get a road win?

Look, as much as we'd love to have our team come out with 100% effort every night the reality is it isn't going to happen. I guess in some twisted way I understand why some of the veterans are "bored" as they call it and are looking forward to the playoffs. But, there's a difference between not going 100% and just not caring.
