Last night the Boston Celtics lost their fifth game of the season, leaving them four games away from the 73-9 mark that Rasheed Wallace predicted at the beginning of the season. Doesn't look so likely right now Sheed does it?

The Celtics lost 98-97 to the Philadelphia 76ers in a game that they should've won. Who is to blame? Rasheed Wallace if you ask Frank Dell'Appa at boston.com who wrote this article about the Wallace's ejection from last nights game and he has a point.

OK, I know Rasheed has been a valuable asset the Celtics this season and will continue to be down the stretch, but this is exactly the thing that I was worried about when we signed him. He is a loose cannon and one that could go off at any time and hurt us in a tight spot.

In this case it was only a regular season game against the Sixers, but what if he gets tossed from an Eastern Conference Finals game against Lebron and the Cavs or Dwight Howard and the Magic? What then? Do we forgive and forget?

I don't like to be woah is me, but let's be real, he is who is. The Celtics are not the Patriots who took Corey Dillon and turned him into a model citizen or revived a struggling Randy Moss (until last weekend.) The Celtics are still the Celtics. They can't keep their point guard in check let alone a bad apple like Wallace.

I am not saying let's dump him, I am just saying that Doc needs to reign him in before he gets out of control. If he implodes at a crucial juncture in the season we could be S.O.L. and everyone knows this is probably our last shot at a 18th ring.

In another brilliant move that will surely add to the legacy of the gunslinger Al Davis, he has knee jerked DeAngelo Hall out of Oakland. Hmmm, a stud position player that underperformed in the managerial quagmire known as the Oakland Raiders. Sound familiar? Thanks Al, we need to firm up the secondary here in New England. The counterpoint is of course that he would not fit in here, he is not a "Patriots kinda guy." Really? Corey Dillon, um, Randy Moss, sound familiar? But he is a Michael Vick sympathizer. But he has been underwhelming since his fresh start in Oakland. Fresh start in Oakland, is there such a thing? We can't afford to not take a long look at this guy. I as a BC fan, was unfortunately on the receiving end of a great deal of his stellar play as a defensive back for VA Tech. The balance of his contract would be a rent anyway. To steal from the past campaign - SIGN, SIGN NOW, SIGN BABY SIGN!
