Greg Stiemsma: Celtics Looking To Get Back On Track
The Celtics have continued to struggle and now hold a record of 4-8 after dropping five games in a row. The C's look to turn things around on Wednesday when they host the Toronto Raptors.
Celtics center Greg Stiemsma spoke with Toucher & Rich about his playing time, trade rumors and the rough start to the season.
When Stiemsma started in Boston he was getting a good amount of playing time. Now it seems that his time is being limited. Does having his time limited frustrate him?

"That's how it goes some game are going to be a little more than others, but I've just got to make sure I'm ready when my number does gets called."
The Celtics are off to the worst start ever during the Big Three Era and this is the first time they have lost five in a row as well. What's the locker room like?
"We're definitely disappointed that we got off to kind of a slow start, but at the same time we know it's a long season. A lot of these guys, like you said, have the experience of winning programs and the tradition that follows with the Celtics uniform. We still think there's time, we know there's time to pick things up."
At the start of the season there was talk of the Celtics trying to move Rajon Rondo and now there are rumors that team's are contacting the Green about Paul Pierce. Has there been any talk in the locker room about any of this?
"No I don't think so...Like I said these guys have been around for awhile they're not going to let, no offense to you guys, they're not going to let what the media says affect their play and get to worked up about a couple of bad games."
The guys discussed Brandon Bass and his passing ability. Has Bass been talked to about his struggle to pass the ball?
Then the guys went on to discuss some facts that Stiemsma's agent sent the guys. Find out who Stiemsma has stuffed two or three times in a summer league game.
