Wilcox & Barbosa are out tonight: Chris Wilcox (right thumb) and Leandro Barbosa (personal matter not with team)..
Wow, what an awful foul call on Sullinger.Getting the rook treatment
I am quickly becoming a big Sully fan.
I think with Green we just need to accept that we're paying him for the nights when he plays like a borderline star.i swear we coulda won at least 6 more games if Jeff Green played wit dis much effort, energy nd intensity
Unfortunately it means we're also subsidizing the nights when he plays like a scrub.
Hopefully Doc doesn't bury Sullinger on the bench for the second half. Seems like he only plays in the first.
I am quickly becoming a big Sully fan.
That has to be a flop rule violation.

You weren't before? :P
Kenny Mauer is such an a**wipe
didn't Rondo used to be able to dunk? I mean he has it wide open there, throw it down Rajon! It cranks up the crowd man. Giving it to bass for a soft throw down doesn't jack everyone up as much as if you would have thrown it down.

Rondo can dunk, but it's not so easy for him to come down afterward.

Wonder what the score would be with refs who don't suck

The calls have been frustrating, but the Celtics have done a really poor job of preventing dribble penetration. The Bucks have gotten it into the paint A LOT so the Celtics can't really complain about the Bucks getting all those calls. You play aggressive and you get calls.
It's not like the Bucks have a bunch of stars.
I think an equally good question would be why can't WE get some dribble penetration in OUR offense?The calls have been frustrating, but the Celtics have done a really poor job of preventing dribble penetration.

in all fairness, Jennings and Ellis are two of the best at dribble penetration.

Wasn't that just a self pass on Jennings???
How about a decent possession here.
weDoc blew this game
Who the hell does Terry think he is? STOP SHOOTING THE [dang] BALL. You're 1 for 13. No wonder the Bucks are 3-1 against us this season now, our coach does not know how to exploit advantages against this midget team.And how exactly would our "big" team exploit that?
This team is freaking embarrassing!!!
I am embarrassed to be a fan of this team this year.
THEY SHOW NO EFFORT, NO HUSTLE, NO GRIT, NO FOCUS, NOT DETERMINATION.
They're embarrassing.
And, on my birthday no less. [dang it].
well, to JET's credit, he really is taking Ray's place because when Ray's shot wasn't falling, he was killing us on the floor too.Yeah but Jet is making Ray look like Mike in game 6.

OMG, how bad can KG miss those inside chippies??He's 36 and has played his age in minutes
Doc with a questionable unit once again. Why no Lee instead of Terry?
I really don't understand Doc's thinking process.
I see a lot of effort, hustle, grit, focus and determination this season. The problem is they don't sustain it. And happy birthday.
Don't quite understand why Terry is still out there...
Don't quite understand why Terry is still out there...finally put Lee in.
he was missing plenty of open shots before he played half those minutes tonight. glad he finally hit oneOMG, how bad can KG miss those inside chippies??He's 36 and has played his age in minutes
of course we can't get the rebound on a missed FT and the refs blow a blatant over the back. horrid officiating. should be a tape sent to the league office.See the Knicks game tonight? This is a trend.
and the refs put the finishing touch with another no call on Pierce on that last 3 pt shot. I hate the NBA.This is the same league that scheduled most of the Heat's early games at home.
Jeff Green had the man boxed out and he still failed to grab the rebound..smh... I hope he is alright though.
Jeff Green had the man boxed out and he still failed to grab the rebound..smh... I hope he is alright though.yeah, Green isn't the guy to put in there for a clutch rebound. only player C's have that I'd feel confident would control their part of the floor for that ball is Sully
Expect more overreaction from the people on this board. I'm sure a "trade Terry" thread will be popping up any minute now.

thing is, if you watch the replay, there wasn't an over the back on the initial rebound. it happened after that first tip. if Green secures the ball on the initial rebound, there's no over the back and no injuryJeff Green had the man boxed out and he still failed to grab the rebound..smh... I hope he is alright though.
When someone jumps on your back, it's hard to do anything. It should have been a foul. Don't be dumb.

man Kg and Jet shooting was just terrible.At least KG played defense and rebounded. Jet went 1-15 with 1 assist and no boards.
Why ROndo is not a good as guard CP3..because CP3 can take over a game and MAKE a jumper to win their games. Rondo himself is a poor offensive weapon ...ie can't shoot :'(
KG and Jet couldn't hit a barn door at 10 paces.
I know. I'm not saying he was available, just that he's the only one on the team that seems to grasp the concept of controlling an area when reboundingJeff Green had the man boxed out and he still failed to grab the rebound..smh...

Sullinger has become a fouling machine.
Also Doc deserves some blame for not putting rebounding at the end.

Not particularly. He's been disappointing for much of the season for sure. But he's not the reason we lost the game.

Ilyasova tipped it clean. Stopped defending Green at all cost. He is terrible rebounder. Ray Allen is better on the glass than 6'9 240 Jeff Green.

Yes it was a huge part of it, but why was he even in the game for a significant part of the 4th quarter and OT when he clearly was having an off night on all facets of the game? I pin the loss more on Doc than I do Terry.
we ALL want to kno dat but dude kept shootin. if u dont have it goin either move da ball or at least drive but he kept takin contested jumpers it was unbelievable i aint see anything like dat on a celtics team since Big Baby Davis' contract yearhis 1-15 shootin nd defense on Monta Ellis was a huge part of it then Lee shoulda gotten WAY more minutesExpect more overreaction from the people on this board.

He didn't tip it clean, it was a clear over the back foul, well before the elbow to the eye. As for the elbow, how is that not a foul, and the elbow Sullinger had that barely touched Jennings was a foul? Pathetic.
Get off Greens back!!!! If you want to blame someone other than the refs, start with Jason Terry tonight.

If Doc panicked as much as some people on this site, this team would be changing starting lineups every game. You go with your guys, win or lose. That's how a good coach rolls. If your guys need to be changed, so be it. But until they are, you go with your guys and you trust them. I love Doc as a coach and I rarely have an issue with his decisions. I live eternally in a minority.

no reason he shoulda shot 22 times tho dude doesnt even shoot dat much when he has it goin. idk wat possesed him to chuck like there was no tomorrow Larry Sanders wasnt a good matchup for him.man Kg and Jet shooting was just terrible.

KG and Jet couldn't hit a barn door at 10 paces.
And yet, KG hit the tying shot in a clutch moment. Every player has off nights - KG had one. But Rondo never loses confidence in him and that clutch shot is why.
Courtney Lee was playin betta on both ends of da floor he made Monta work harder nd Terry forced a lot of shots on offense ur makin it seem like he had nuthin but open looks dat wasnt da casewe ALL want to kno dat but dude kept shootin. if u dont have it goin either move da ball or at least drive but he kept takin contested jumpers it was unbelievable i aint see anything like dat on a celtics team since Big Baby Davis' contract yearhis 1-15 shootin nd defense on Monta Ellis was a huge part of it then Lee shoulda gotten WAY more minutesExpect more overreaction from the people on this board.

What do you mean Ray used to do it all the time. Doc has always stuck to his guys and told them to keep shooting their shots. This is nothing new and I'm not surprised. Doc never sits guys that he trusts to make shots, even when they're ice cold. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

I wish Doc had stuck longer with Pierce and Green on the wing. Pierce had his way with Monta on two possessions and if the Bucks had switched, Green could've had his way with Monta too. Make the Bucks either pull Monta or use to guard a much, much bigger guy. When Bass picked up two fouls, Doc went away from the big wing setup and never went back to it. In the maybe 5 minute sample size all season, it's been really really good.

I would like to see Kris Joseph get called up and get 15mpg while (if) Jeff Green sits out a few games.
I don't want to see Doc go with a smaller perimeter rotation with Courtney Lee playing those 15mpg at SF alongside undersized SGs like Jason Terry or Leandro Barbosa.
