Falcons Beat Tired Celtics (11/23/46)

I don't know who's idea it was to play three games in three days but the Boston Celtics looked worn out in tonight's loss to the Detroit Falcons. Somehow an organization that's so bad they didn't even bother to post a line score of the game beat the Celtics in this one. One day after scoring 82 points against the Toronto Huskies, the Falcons held the Celtics to just 46 points in this one, almost half of what they had. Stan Miasek had 12 points to lead the Falcons while the Simmons brothers pumped in 27 (15 from Connie, 12 from Johnny) combined. The story of the game was Tony Kappen and Red Wallace had no points at all combined after almost strongarming the Celtics to victory last night. It all added up to a 54-46 victory by Detroit over the Celtics at Olympia.

                                                         Frederic March can't stand the Celtics

Jackass of the Night is Tony Kappen. He had approximately zero points in this one.

Final Thoughts:

Looks like the Celtics are inventing new ways to lose and owner Walter Brown is very upset. How's he supposed to run a franchise that loses every single game? Not even a trade could help because what would they even get with the lack of talent that they have? Detroit isn't even that good but just like everyone else, they beat the Celtics. The Simmons brothers can only do so much out there, Wyndol Gray, Chuck Connors and Tony Kappen contributed little tonight, that's for sure. Honey Russell must be pulling what's left of his hair out after a start to the season like this, maybe he'll be fired before the year is out. Who knows....it doesn't look good. Two nights from now the Celtics are back in action against the Providence Steamrollers. Hopefully the Celtics can beat them at home at the Boston Garden.
