you know better than to say that... doc will have you flogged ;D

i think the whole idea that we just have to get back on D is outdated. our D is no longer first class as in 08-09. i think we should risk some more offensive boards given that chances are our D doesn't get set regardless.
-
defense is eveywhere...not just on our halfcourt....you do not fast outlet any rebound when a guy is in your shirt trying to get the same rebound.....so it keeps them honest....rebounding is the backbone of hoop...! 2nd chance points breaks their will and cohesion.....they start blaming....!

Give this guy some TPS, I'm all out!!!

Loved Sully's work on the o-glass. Infectious.
-
Bass seemed to step up his game after Sullinger played so well. This competition is great for our team.
-
loved seeing us not only get offensive boards but actually make 2nd chance points as well as finally get more O boards than the opposition. wasn't just O boards that made the difference but taking better care of the D boards too.
-
Loving Sully's effort the last 5 games or so. He's much improved defensively, he's rebounding like a Boss, he's scoring efficiently, and he basically commits one turnover every 5 games.

Me too ...thought he played well , when the rest of the team was choking and letting Orlando back in.
If DOc would just pair him with a REAL CENTER , KG or Wilcox when he is in game , he is a natural forward , not a center.
Like Sully game on the boards .

How did offensive rebounds win the game when they dominated the boards and barely won?

Did you watch the game? Without timely O rebs, especially from Sully and Bass, there's no way we would've even had a chance tonight.

I missed alot of the 3rd quarter because i was too busy watching the NFL games but how did we let them come back and almost lose the game? I'm guessing it was either poor defense by us or amazing offense by the magic.

True THIS !! ;)

Our perimeter defense was GOD AWFUL. That is why. The magic hit a bunch of 3's and outside shots.

Yeah, i figured as much. A few key offensive rebounds might have saved the game but it wouldn't have even been that close if it weren't for the defense breaking down. Also great defense down the stretch saved us the game too. We clearly turned it up a notch on D and got some key stops as well.

If it weren't for Bass and Sully gobbling up boards and getting putbacks we would have lost this game. No doubt about it.
The only part of rhe offense that worked at times was grabbing misses.
Just as an aside. Our guard defense was shocking tonight other than Courtney lee for a short stretch. Time to come back Avery...it's pretty much december.

I cant wait for bradley to come back so we can have someone who can STAY in front of their man..plus his defense is contagious

agreed. our perimeter defense is not good without him it seems.
-
Offensive rebounds didn't win us this game.
KG and Sully's energy won us this game...add in that p--- poor shot by Nelson and we had this in the bag.
But it never should have been this close.
Giving up 100 points to this Orlando Magic team is inexcusable.
I honestly don't know if this Celtics team is a defensive minded first team anymore.
There is a SERIOUS lack of pride and sense of urgency on the defensive side of the ball.
And that makes it so much harder to win games.

Yup, we're really missing bradley on defense. Its almost dec. He should be back soon.

Have they said anything recently about his recovery? Last I heard he was "ahead of schedule" for his mid-December return (this was around mid-October).

He is starting to dress in warmup clothes so he can't be far away.

That was the last thing i heard as well. I would think if he was ahead of schedule he should be ready to come back any day now. At the very latest he should be returning in about 3weeks minus any setbacks.

Yeah I noticed the transition from the suits recently.

p.s. other than early fouls i can see very usefull effort from sully this game VERY

Doc made some sketchy coaching decisions tonight. Lucky to pull that one out.

I hope that none of you is genuinely surprised that Boston nearly lost this game. We all know about "good Tony Allen" and "bad Tony Allen"; well, there's also "good Celtics" and "bad Celtics," and this was classic, New Big Three Era, regular-season "bad Celtics" basketball. It happens all the time.
That said, glad they pulled it out.

It is definitely different this year though. In previous years they would go through huge scoring droughts and rely on defensive stops to scrape through games.
This year they have no trouble scoring 30 in a quarter or 15 in an overtime period, but they are failing to get the defensive systems to stop the other team.
If we can get near the defense of previous years and still maintain the scoring potency we have now, we will be a force.

like how when he sat KG/Rondo when we were down by four in the fourth late in the game? it paid off a rested KG even though he played more than his usual helped us pull it out down the stretch and in OT

This ^^^ Bradley is the key. Once he comes back and terry moves back to the bench i really think we will take off just like last year.
