Only chance we have is if Rose doesn't play.You know he's playing he sat out the last one so he'd be ready to go in this one.
Rose is expected to play. He always seems to miss games before and after playing us, but always seems to lace up the shoestrings against us:-((((((((((((((((That's because Thibs loves taking us to the back of the shed on his former team.

Box. Out.
Guess what, I expect them to be sloppy, lethargic, and struggling against the Bulls too. They seem to be losing their way and I blame poor talent for that.I agree about what will happen but it is not because of poor talent. The starting five is all-stars and HOFers. They are losing their way because they are not athletic enough and they are getting out worked.
rondo goes nuts in this game, trade forum gets early quiet until the next time we miss a bunch of open shots (created by rondo) and lose by 1. then we'll see the blame/trade rondo threads heat up like a gas fuled bonfire ::)
p.s. i'm not opposed to trading rondo for the right player but to blame him for the lakers loss ignores the fact that we missed more open jumpers in the fourth quarter than I could count.

Box. Out.
TP
This times a million. I watched the Thunder game last night and was loving seeing Perk box out. The Celtics have forgotten the fine art of the box out.
Bass out with his knee. Could be a challenge for 3J.
JO and Bass both out for Celtics. Wilcox to start
Rose out for Bulls
No Rose this afternoon know know what that means...i guess with Dooling not playing, were even.
@SherrodbCSN: #Celtics Bass (knee) out.

Brandon Bass wont play either...Quote@SherrodbCSN: #Celtics Bass (knee) out.
Looks like we're going to get one of those awesome, "screw all you guys" Rajon Rondo games.
Deng an All star?? Im laughing to death hahahhaa
Sorry dawg not even near as good as Pierce.Deng an All star?? Im laughing to death hahahhaa
He's been every bit as good as Pierce this year.
Celtics are lucky Derrick Rose is out. CJ Watson has gotten to with ease but he is not finishing like a Rose.
Doris needs to come interview me
Looks like we're going to get one of those awesome, "screw all you guys" Rajon Rondo games.
it's just too bad that it needs to be a "screw you guys" game for Rondo to play that way.

Just got here. We're winning so far :O. what's happened?
Can someone explain how we can go from THAT good to THIS bad??!?
JJJ not looking so good
Dang we have slowed down.

that jumper block by Steams is something I don't think I've ever seen like that, I don't think you can teach it, and I don't think JJJ will ever be able to do thatTP for that. That was a nice complement for a hard working guy who i still think earns more minutes..!
I hope whoever told Avery not to "defend like that all game" isn't on the Celtics.I was just gonna say that better not be Celts
Celtics are getting good good play all around but the Bulls have more talent it seems so I think the Bulls will win today but the Celtics will put forth an effort today.
I hope whoever told Avery not to "defend like that all game" isn't on the Celtics.Gives me flashbacks of Jameer hahahaha!
Avery puts a ton of pressure on guys, but like Rondo he seems to allow a lot of penetration despite that.
Solid 1st quarter.with no D Rose it better be
I think today Steams is outplaying JJJ but I like em boththat jumper block by Steams is something I don't think I've ever seen like that, I don't think you can teach it, and I don't think JJJ will ever be able to do thatTP for that. That was a nice complement for a hard working guy who i still think earns more minutes..!
Is Rose not playing?
Wish they would try and put JaJuan in the post more, that's where his game is.right..but what i hate is when they post up anyone..no one gets rebounding position on the weak side....
Is Rose not playing?No he is Injured ;)
Nice bounce pass by Rondo.
JO needs to come off the bench from now on. I don't want to hear any arguments.
Hanging in despite our physical deficiencies. The rebounding continues to be a disaster area. I am beginning to wonder if Rondo is simply a horrible fit for this team or he has checked out mentally or this is a trade everyone else for greyhounds solution.
GM´s shaking their heads for not selecting Rondo for the All Star game.D Rose isn't playing
Besides..DOC..said this is HIS team ( rondo's)..so IF you are gonna trade ANYONE..you better ask Rondo about is 1st.!Hanging in despite our physical deficiencies. The rebounding continues to be a disaster area. I am beginning to wonder if Rondo is simply a horrible fit for this team or he has checked out mentally or this is a trade everyone else for greyhounds solution.
That's what you're getting from this game? Rondo looks great out there...

It's a good thing Johnson is only 23, or his legs might fall off.I've noticed that, kid runs like he has my knees
van gundy is the oddest announcer.....he said kg should be the backup center for the allstar team...LOL...kg hates playing center........and he is not a center....
It's a good thing Johnson is only 23, or his legs might fall off.I've noticed that, kid runs like he has my knees
Blocked shots that start fast breaks!! Rebounding!!! More JJJ and more Steamer!!! They get the crowd pumped which in turns gets the players pumped.Well Bass is out for 10-14 days so enjoy Steamer and JJ as long as you can ;D
This is what this team could be. But when everyone is healthy, Doc will go back to the old guys.
Ray never learns. I cringe every time he leads the fast break. give the ball to Rondo and run+1, he make one of those terrible passes every game.
I honestly have watched his stride since the beginning of year and he runs like he has bad legs.It's a good thing Johnson is only 23, or his legs might fall off.I've noticed that, kid runs like he has my knees
Oh, I was just commenting on how Doc played him 18 minutes straight there. :P
He is probably banged up from Practises.. Lol i hope it aint serious!I honestly have watched his stride since the beginning of year and he runs like he has bad legs.It's a good thing Johnson is only 23, or his legs might fall off.I've noticed that, kid runs like he has my knees

Never a good sign a young player has back problems. Didn't Larry Bird suffer from back pain? And it cut his career short

the one thing I really like about the team this year is that we have bigs in Wilcox and Bass that actually dunk when they're at the basket instead of trying to toss up short shots that get rejected or miss.

Agreed. The missed layups at point blank range are just aggravating
JVG telling the cold hard truth
The team as constructed currently most likely can't go 4 series in a row and win it all. I agree with that.
But like you said JVG, no one knows what trades are out there, and a few trades for some scorers/bigs could change everything. We have a ton of expiring contracts that are very valuable. Could change everything.
1st, rondo is having a better game..because he is with guys who are finally MOVING...young guys who run with him....and when things work for you....all things get better....only players like gilbert areanas or iverson don't care how things work together...they just keep shooting.....rondo is a TEAM player....
STEAMER TIME.....he is very solid for a guy who get little passes.....doc won't play him again today...
This is why Rondo is so tough to have on your team.
It literally looks like it's effortless for him to get to the rim for easy buckets against a top 3 defense. Why can't this happen every night?
THAT..is actually an insult to a player.....doc is good at killing a guys confidence..steamer WAS shooting 500-700%..without ever getting set up in the paint..!STEAMER TIME.....he is very solid for a guy who get little passes.....doc won't play him again today...
Steamer!!!! For 3.3 seconds.
I don't think it will be, but I hope Ghost Rider will be good for Nicholas Cage.He was on SNL last night....the guy who was in EVERY movie......they busted him pretty good.....he was almost bankrupt.....

Like I said on another thread, Steamer might have been our Lin if Doc would have rode the hot hand.

He WAS that close.....all he needed was some inside success..and as we saw, he was gonna have to get THAT by himnself....rebounds.....now.....it is actually good oneil is out.....these young guys are showing that we CAN go for rebounds..maybe bass is reading BBD "just get by" playbook....THAT..is actually an insult to a player.....doc is good at killing a guys confidence..steamer WAS shooting 500-700%..without ever getting set up in the paint..!STEAMER TIME.....he is very solid for a guy who get little passes.....doc won't play him again today...

Danny has to trade for a backup pg who can run the team while Rondo gets a break.
I don't think it will be, but I hope Ghost Rider will be good for Nicholas Cage.
It certainly wasn't the first time around.
JJ missing good shots. Can't make them all.nice layup on that one though.
Second unit needs Paul Pierce badly.

Rose looks like he wants to cry.a player with heart like him.....heck..it would kill me to sit and watch...THAT is why kg couldn't sit there while hurt.....it compounds the injury..!
see that pass to johnson..they would NEVER pass one of those to the steam.....
this has been a nice effort against a top team today but I can't put a lot of stock in this if they win with no Rose playing for Chicago. Even though we have no JO or Bass, it's not a comparable situation.

Bulls without Rose:I'm an animal lover and should feel ashamed of myself for laughing at that but [dang], that's funny :D

I think you have like 20 posts since the 4th quarter about Stiemsma not playing in a game where we're slowly pulling away.
definitely much better than a loss.this has been a nice effort against a top team today but I can't put a lot of stock in this if they win with no Rose playing for Chicago. Even though we have no JO or Bass, it's not a comparable situation.
a win is a win is a win
Athletes are fun to watch :DSo that's what we were missing out on when we had BBD ::)
I just saw the future. Twice!!!!
Well its official, Rondo needs to go
Well its official, Rondo needs to go
JJJ with a charge pickup. good movementand now a bucket. Marshon who?
Rondo should be ashamed of himself. Disgusting.
Wilcox > O'neal? He's a lot more active on the boards at the very least.
Then again it's only one game.
I was waiting for 4th quarter Rondo to get here ::)
how is this possible....The Celtics are far too often mental midgets in the closing minutes.
Doc is an idiot. What took so long to go to Pierce? i wish he had gone to Pierce early against the Lakers.

WHAT? Celtics weren't prepared for it. Doc is failing at coaching
HAHAHAHAHA this team is terrible.
We are playing 4 on 5 late in every game. That is why Rondo needs to go.
Wow he made his free throws! Hey, stick completely ruins our offense late in games.
Rondo for free throws? We're gonna lose
I'm laughing at all you Rondo haters. Blaming him for this. How about the rest of the vets, that instead of being calm under pressure panic like rookies.
Oh, nice way to sink those FT's Rondo. Shut them haters up!

Rajon Rondo made Pierce turn the ball over. Fact.
Seriously, Rondo needs to be pulled late in the 4th quarter from here on out.
Pierce runs the point to end the game.
Rondo with a triple double. Imagine how good we'd be if Good Rondo played every night?
Wow he made his free throws! Hey, stick completely ruins our offense late in games.
Rondo has 30 points, 10 rebounds and 15 assists tonight. **** that guy!

Rajon Rondo made Pierce turn the ball over. Fact.
Only the oblivious ignore the fact that Rondo's inability to shoot or consistently attack the basket late completely ruins our offense.
It is 4 on 5 EVERY game because teams know there is no reason to cover him. Pierce is getting double teamed cause Rondo, which in turn forced the turnover so you are right Rondo's inability to shoot made Pierce turn the ball over.
Rondo with a triple double. Imagine how good we'd be if Good Rondo played every night?
It's simply amazing to me how Rondo can put up 30/15/10 against one of the best defenses in the league and people still complain about him.
HAHAHAHAHA this team is terrible.Yup...guy that goes for 31 pts, 15 asts and 10 rebs, while shooting 50% from the line and 75% from the line gotta go. Yup that makes sense.
We are playing 4 on 5 late in every game. That is why Rondo needs to go.
Rondo with a triple double. Imagine how good we'd be if Good Rondo played every night?as long as it's against CJ Watson at home we're fine
What would you rather have? Good Rondo playing like this 33-50% of the time (Bad Rondo otherwise)? Or a point guard who would give us 75% of what Good Rondo gives us, but give us that kind of play 80-90% of the time?
Serious question. I'm not sure what the answer is.

Rondo has been great in this game. I just wish he'd show this kind of aggressive, active play every game. That's honestly all that stands between him and stardom -- forget about the jumpshot.
Where was this when he went for 5 with 5 TOs against the Raptors?Rondo for free throws? We're gonna lose
30 pts, 15 assists, 10 rebounds...yes, you are right, the guy is terrible, we must trade him...
Wow he made his free throws! Hey, stick completely ruins our offense late in games.

Good for him. Doesn't change much. He is a good player. There is no doubting that. But he isn't that good and the team would be much better with a 5th shooter who could run the point.
It's simply amazing to me how Rondo can put up 30/15/10 against one of the best defenses in the league and people still complain about him.
with no rose and barely pulled out the game , clutch free throws today by Rondo though, first time I have ever seen that !
you know..whn they SAY rondo has a bad game...how can you not notice NO one else is doing anything....wheen we play som youth with fast rondo..good things happen....this is a good mix of youth and exp...ag....i hope doc stays with our new strength..!
Maybe my favorite game of the year. I love seeing the veterans and youth playing major minutes together.

There's such a disparity between Rondo's stats and his performance it's impossible to decide whether or not he's a good player.

Even more than the Orlando comeback?

I LOVE that clip of Wilcox hustling up the floor right by Boozer.

Or a point guard who would give us 75% of what Good Rondo gives us, but give us that kind of play 80-90% of the time?Given that Rondo is playing like a superduper star about 50% of the time, a good player, the type of player you say is 75% of Good Rondo, about 40% of the time and that he just doesn't show up maybe 10% of the time during the regular season but always shows up in the playoffs, I'll take Rondo.
Serious question. I'm not sure what the answer is.

The amount of time people think Rondo has bad games is so grossly over exaggerated on this blog that it is pathetic. He has had 4 bad games this year 2 of which can be attributed to returning from an 8 game layoff due to injury.
In past years my guess is the numbers are closer to what I say regarding how he plays than how you describe his play.
