Falcons Run Celtics Off Floor (11/9/46)

The Boston Celtics are still looking for their first win in franchise history after getting spanked by the Detroit Falcons in tonight's game. Four Falcons scored in double figures led by Stan Miasek's 19 and Ariel Maughan's 13. The Falcons broke out to a 20-13 lead after the first quarter but pretty much decided the game at halftime with a 32-22 lead. Art Spector led the Celtics with 12 points as they kept it close, trailing 46-40 going into the fourth quarter. Then the Falcons ran the Celtics off the floor outscoring them 23-6 the rest of the way. Milt Schoon had more points than Connie Simmons as the Falcons wiped the court with the Celtics 69-46 at Detroit Olympia.

                                                     Celtics fans aren't taking it well

Jackass of the Night is Connie Simmons. He didn't hit a shot all night and only had 4 points on 4 free throws.

                                                                 Simmons Jackass

Final Thoughts:

This game was far worse than the first two. The Celtics had a chance to beat the Chicago Stags but they got blasted in the fourth quarter by the Falcons. They only scored six points in the entire fourth quarter and that's simply inexcusable. Glenn Curtis had his boys ready to finish the game and clearly Honey Russell's Celtics weren't. The Simmons brothers and Connors combined for just 8 points while John Janisch had 11 by himself. Quite simply, the Celtics are just not good. Honey Russell's damn baseball season caused him to scrape the bottom of the barrel for players once he was available to coach. They haven't won a game yet! The Celtics look for their first win of the season this Wednesday night in Chicago against the Stags. The game begins at 7:00 PM at Chicago Stadium.
