Tickets are going for under 10 bucks on stub hub right now. Here's hoping the Garden is packed tonight with real fans since a seat is actually affordable. I predict a lound building tonight. I hope they take advantage.
I know Nate gets pumped by the crowd. I want to see KG cursing feverishly at the first couple of rows tonight. Well, Im still not watching but I want to read about it tomrrow on CB!

Doesn't seem like KG is doing all that much cursing this year, really. Outside of the occasional N and F bombs, not much. Clearly, in order to get that championship drive back we need KG to be screaming obscenities full force, for at least 35 minutes a game.
I got goosebumps watching the Celtics opening night intro....I felt really proud....sensed something special was going to happen this season. Sadly, its been the opposite so far...I hope the tide turns in our favour starting tonight. CELTICS HOORAH...CELTICS HOORAH...1 2 3 Ubuntu.

That post deserves a TP. I dont know why but it made me feel good. So...you get a TP.
This game is completely critical because since they beat the Cavs, and we beat them it means we're the best team in the league!!!!
I'm worried about this game. At least Charlotte is without Tyson Chandler and Nazr Mohammed. That gives the Celtics a better chance of winning this one.My home team plays better without Chandler. I still hope Boston wins.
I think tonight is win #2 in the revitalization of the Boston Celtics and the second in a minimum 7 game winning streak
I think they are going to start a nice streak here where the team starts to gel
Just thinking positive
I'm hoping our "fast starts" will become "dominating starts" as the team gets healthier, and they start to trust the health of their teammates -- being able to execute the plays and defense without having to compensate for the injuries of their teammates.
EDIT: fewer lackadaisical plays would help too. ::)
And here again, is where (at least in the playoffs) Ray could come back in after a 3 minute blow on the bench for PP, cutting TA out of the picture altogether.

keep noticing over the past 2 games that KG is being REALLY mindful landing on the left leg and avoiding his right knee... I'm not saying that its hurt, but it doesn't exactly make me confident.

Agree, but with 2 fouls against a team with a couple of elite wings, I wouldn't. Don't mind it here but I'd like to see it going ahead.
Wow, Thomas was building a fort down there.
Doing it big in beantown Nate!
What's been bugging me about the C's over the last two months is the lack of sustained runs
You just don't see them going on sustained 10-12-14 point runs and then not IMMEDIATELY giving it back
Just like tonight the C's play well, go on a 5-7-9 point run and then IMMEDIATELY give back 6-8-20 points for a net sum of +1,0 or -1 or worse
They just can't seem to get on that extended run to get this up into the 15-20 point lead that I think would be important mentally for this team to get and try to hold
NATE!!!! Liking him more and more every game. I'm also starting to get more optimistic about Late-Season Sheed.
The Bobcats are playing awful, and we were keeping them in it, but our bench stepped up once again. Nice finish there, it's good to see them not limp their way to quarter's end.
Billy who??
Eddie who??
Charlotte are collapsingJENGA!
Charlotte are collapsingJENGA!
come on...dont pee this lead away even more
Do we really need BBD in? I think I'd rather see PP at the 4.I don't like these long rests for Garnett.

Five point game??? Really? Lost that lead in three minutes?
I thought the Celtics were close to finishing this game on cruise control. Bah!
Seriously, how long has KG been sitting?Do we really need BBD in? I think I'd rather see PP at the 4.I don't like these long rests for Garnett.

I'm really loosing faith in Davis. For everything he does well, he seams to take something away. Stop trying to do too much!!! Stay within your game!

Do we have a PG that can guard DJ AugustinGabe Pruitt
Just wondering
Off foul? the ref is a moron.

Glen Davis is not a power forward. He is not an effective player there.

To an extent, but he's trying to do to much. He's at his best as a cutting big man and as a pick-and-pop player. He just doesn't have enough post-up moves at the moment to keep feeding him the ball in that position.
what a bad bad bad bad bad call...he was calling that charge 3 steps before PP even got thereHe was calling that offensive 3 steps before the DEFENDER got there

If he doesn't improve, come playoff time I'd be curious to see either a) Shelden get his minutes, b) Wallace just play all the backup minutes at the 4/5, or c) PP get some spot "Posey" minutes at the 4 in a small lineup. Or maybe a d) all of the above.
I'd like to see Glen Davis dropped from the rotation come playoff time. I don't see any value in giving him playing time at Perk's expense.I think most of Davis' problems emanate from playing the wrong position.Do we really need BBD in? I think I'd rather see PP at the 4.

Doc's line changes always seem to kill the momentum in this team.
Only 4 Minutes for Nate Robinson?....Really?
aarrgghhh-!
Only 4 Minutes for Nate Robinson?....Really?and 9 points. hmmm.
aarrgghhh-!
I blaming Doc at the moment for a collapse in the 2nd. Nice recovery to finish the half though.
Also, Here's a question...When the ball went off the heel of TA on a Charlotte fast Break, WHY was it called a "kicked ball"?....Felton threw it off TA's heel---TA didn't put his foot out to knock it away.....These refs have to start getting the calls right---it cost us 2 points---cause they got the ball back and scored.
Only 4 Minutes for Nate Robinson?....Really?
aarrgghhh-!
The conundrum for Doc, is that if Nate is just the backup PG, it's going to be hard to get him minutes. They're really going to have to play him with Rondo to get big minutes.
That won't happen if we're going to play a full "second unit."

Looked that way to me too.
The refs let a couple of Pierce travels go as well.

Why do we have to always blame someone? This is not personally directed at you Bud.....but the other team is here to play too...every team will throw back some punches and make some sort of run. Its how we handle/react to those punches that will determine the outcome. Our team is certainly learning how to take some punches...and I believe this will help them in the playoffs. I'm in no way advocating this behaviour or pattern...but we have to realise that the other team is a pro too..and they will try to make a run/take a lead as well.

Well, leaving Rondo on the bench for a couple more minutes WOULDN'T hurt----he won't have to PACE himself if he knows he's gonna get some rest for a change--- with a REAL backup PG on the bench.

Well, I agree that it wouldn't kill Doc to have Rondo on the bench a few more minutes. But Rondo is really the only true PG on this roster. Especially come playoff time, if Doc wants Robinson getting more than 12 mpg, he's going to have to play him with Rondo.
The good news is that there certainly aren't enough minutes at the 2 for Ray, TA, Nate, and Marquis. I really would like to see something like 36 mpg for Rondo, Ray, and Paul, with Nate and Daniels getting all the backup minutes (18 mpg each).
Why is Rondo playing like a retard?That's now called the "r" word in Massachusetts
The Celtics are very close to delivering a knockout blow.
I don't think the Bobcats recover from another 15+ point deficit.
We look like a team again."QFT"
Perk's inability to handle Rondo's passes makes me wonder if the C's will want to lock him up long.Perk also can't run in transition.
Baby is glaringly more selfish out there than anyone else. He seems to be really pushing for points.

That is an absolutely insane stat about Wilt.What was the stat?

Isn't that the 2nd time Bavetta's called a touch foul to wipe away a fast break for us this season?
Good ole 30 point blowout.
Gotta love it.

I love that our cheerleaders look drunk.
Great win!! Now, I hope we can start some consistent series of that kind of games.
I'd like Tyrus Thomas on this team. He's a fiery competitor even if he's immature.

Lol, are we thinking about the same Tyrus Thomas?
He strikes me as a moody Mark Blount.
He only plays hard when he sees the opportunity for a dunk or a block.
Didn't get to see this one ... I'll be watching at 2AM re-broadcast on CSNNE, (if I can stay awake, haha).
My only gripe the entire game was that Nate only played 4 minutes in the first half when he was ablaze.
Pierce looked like his old self. This is by far the healthiest this team has been all season. We finally have our full compliment on players (knock on wood).
