Jackass KellyFinal Thoughts:
So much for the Christmas spirit this year. The Celtics continue to foul up, fumble and bumble through this season and there's really no hope in sight. Who knows how things would have turned out if Honey Russell was there from day 1 to get some of the top players to play for the Celtics instead of put together this team of rag tags. It seems like every single team but the Celtics have a singular guy they can count on to take over games. The Philadelphia Warriors have Joe Fulks, the Bombers have Cecil Hankins and Toronto has Ed Sadowski. The Celtics don't have one of those guys and it shows. The loss dropped the Celtics to 5-16 on the season. Tomorrow night they travel to Pittsburgh to play the Ironmen. The game begins at 7:00 PM at Duquesne Gardens.
