Boston getting beat down!

Kevin Garnett is fading fast.

Despite being a lifelong Boston Celtics fanatic, I think the state of the C’s right now is quite funny!

I know that may not sound right, but I’m sorry … I’m just blown away at the fact that Doc Rivers and President Danny Ainge have let the aging team reach its current state.

I mean, how obvious is it that the Celtics are as slow as a damn turtle?

Ray Allen is still playing at a high level.

Last night’s games against the Thunder further exposed the C’s as a team that can no longer keep up with its younger counterparts’ up-tempo pace – and one that is no longer the defensive juggernaut they once were.

Paul Pierce is slowing down.

Ainge’s trade of Kendrick Perkins last season was absolutely nuts and changed the entire identity the team had formed since putting its current ‘Big Three’ together prior to the 2007-08 season.

Boston’s struggles to score the ball are laughable at this point despite the fact that the team has plenty of capable scorers in Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Garnett, Brandon Bass and Mickael Pietrus.

If the Celtics don’t find a way to speed up their offense and score the ball easier, then I think they could struggle just to reach the playoffs in what is still a mediocre Eastern Conference!
