Going to the game tonight! It's my first NBA game ever (watching it in the building), so I'm very excited. Can't wait to see our guys take on the league's hottest team. Should be really entertaining.

That's awesome. Enjoy the game.
I'm lucky to be attending the Clippers game @ the TD Garden on February too. Hoping to see the Celtics get the win first and foremost, but also witness our man Rajon kick CP3's behind in the process.
Let's go Celtics!
I would like to see Doc use L.Barbosa tonight against Jamal Crawford. A better defensive player than Terry and Barbosa has been more aggressive at slashing and attacking his check - in this case, Crawford, who is a weak defender.
With Terry not having a big enough role in Boston's offense as a creator, I don't think there is any point in having a three guard backcourt. Not now and not when Avery Bradley comes back. I think Doc needs to plan around a four guard backcourt.

I expect Rondo to have a massive game. He usually goes extra hard on big games like this. Chris Paul is having ever so slightly a better statistical season than him... I imagine Rondo is ready for the challenge.

When you factor in that Rondo's going against a premier PG as well as the game being on national TV, it usually means Rondo will be at the top of his game. Can't wait!

I think Barbosa is still out for "personal reasons." Hope all is well with him, because I think he's a solid role player for us.

man dis been a good game to have Bradley backswagga jackin da postin style huh bruh? lol
Everytime we are in the 2nd half of the double header there is an overtime.
PG: Rondo vs Paul = neutral
SG: Terry vs W.Green = advantage Boston
SF: Pierce vs Caron = advantage Boston
PF: Garnett vs Griffin = possible advantage LAC, maybe neutral
C: J.Collins vs D.Jordan = neutral
I think Boston's starting five matches up very well against the Clippers starting five if Garnett can go punch for punch with Griffin.
I am very interested in how the KG vs B.Griffin matchup plays out while J.Collins and D.Jordan are on the floor together.Kg would have no problem negating griffin in one on one pay. But with Paul helping, it may be a different story.
I wonder whether that is a matchup advantage for Griffin in this scenario or whether Garnett can negate Griffin and keep the matchup neutral for Boston.

I'm interested to see if Doc can resist going small.Going small against Odom is generally a really bad idea.
I feel double ot :-[Prophetic?

Yeah, it's more Griffin's athleticism moving without the ball that I am concerned about. His cutting. His pick and roll play. His transition play. Griffin's improved jumper will force KG to go further out to cover him too. May open up his pump fake and drive options.I am very interested in how the KG vs B.Griffin matchup plays out while J.Collins and D.Jordan are on the floor together.Kg would have no problem negating griffin in one on one pay.

No. Actually trying to pull a Gorman ft witchcraft thing.I feel double ot :-[Prophetic?
DeAndre Jordan doesn't really add much versus a guy like Jason Collins. He is still very limited offensively and not so smart a team defender. I think Collins will play him even out there.PG: Rondo vs Paul = neutral

Uh...........

Guy can't do anything anymore.

He's been well below average this year. Rough start.
Ghe only thing he does well is spot up and shoot. In EVERY other way, he is below average. So you're right. I gave him too much credit when I called him average.Bass has regressed so much since last year :'(Didn't really regress. Just going back to what he is; an average player.

I'm calling it now, the celtics are going to win this game. Rondo and KG are angry.

call it from jump
not when it's ahift in the tides
I don't know what's worse. Allowing 30 in the 1st or watching Lee brick wide open shots.Its giving me flashbacks to last year of Pietrus
Marc Davis tonight ...ugh!!!
Bass has got to be the most disappointing guy on the team this year, followed closely by Lee's complete inability to shoot.He's got Ron Mercer range.
Clippers fastbreak is very impressive. So quick end to end.Time to clothesline someone.
Honestly, clippers look like they can turn it on any time they like,while so far Celts struggling to stay in the game.
OK put Rondo back in.Of course they'll counter with Chris paul.
How good would Bledsoe be if he got 30-35 minutes night?
He seems a bit like Bradley with the elite athleticism, high level defensive impact and complementary offense. Only with more rebounding and creates more turnovers. And more aggressive looking for his shot.
Alvin Robertson-esque? Bledsoe.
Just leave Barnes wide open all night. Defense sucksOf Barnes beats us, so be it. They are making a lot of great shots. Hopefully they can't sustain this.
Melo would have been useful in this game.
Awful rondo pound the ball for 20 seconds possession. Why?

Going to be an ugly trip
We're no match for these guys right now smh
Awful rondo pound the ball for 20 seconds possession. Why?

And yet Doc said he wanted the exact opposite. So how on earth is this Doc's fault?
This has been a hard second quarter to take.
Clips have pounded the Celtics since they cut it to 4-6 points earlier in the period.
Idk I like our chances.
everything Crawford throws up goes in smh
Passive Jeff Green again.He started out well, got my hopes up and then ... fizzled out.
Yeah, I don't like KG face-checking D.Jordan on the FT line miss. Put himself in a bad position. Got lucky with the foul call.Reggie said face checking is illegal. Is that right?
our offense has been pretty good so far its just our defense is trash its still time left in da 2nd half thoI think the C's are struggling offensively. Getting hammered defensively.
I don't think so. You see it every now and again and I can't recall that ever being called.Yeah, I don't like KG face-checking D.Jordan on the FT line miss. Put himself in a bad position. Got lucky with the foul call.Reggie said face checking is illegal. Is that right?

Passive Jeff Green again. Celts have no shot in this game. The defense is a joke. This team is what it is - a low seed playoff team and somewhere around the 12th best team in the league.

Green has just as many points as Pierce. I don't see Green playing passive. Rondo is playing erratic for some reason (maybe Paul is in his head) and the Clippers are taking it right to us.

I want more Bass + Garnett in the second half.
It's the team's best big man combination. They need more minutes together.

Most of his damage down low was against Turiaf.I want more Bass + Garnett in the second half.

KG did well in the low post. i hope doc's hard headedness is gone for good. we are attacking two games in a row for most of the game. and not just settling for contested jumper after jumper after jumper. Have we crossed over? finally?
This is not celts d though.

I wouldn't be shocked if the Clippers avoided that matchup entirely if possible. Though if they're still up 10+ they probably won't mess with their rotations to do so I guess.

true, and KG destroyed him and anthony last year down low in the playoffs. it is still a positive though. a huge one at that. this celts team does not know what attack means most of the time. but they have this half and last game. it is a positive. ;D
Odom taking Sully off the bounce. Again.
Clippers are a dirty team, someone needs to give Chris Paul an elbow to the throat
Did I miss some posts in this topic about the reffing, or am I really the only one who thinks it's biased?
Cuz I could be.

are you kidding me - we can't even guard Lamar Odom anymore ?Glen Davis was surprisingly effective defensively (and overall) against Odom.
They're (the Clips) definitely playing better, I just think we're not getting anything either - where they are.Did I miss some posts in this topic about the reffing, or am I really the only one who thinks it's biased?

True.Clippers are a dirty team, someone needs to give Chris Paul an elbow to the throat

yea, the clippers are not playing dirty, the celtics are just too passive
I don't mind that being a flagrant. Sully didn't get anywhere near the ball and the foul was very physical, potentially dangerous. No complaints.Only looks bad because Griffin is jumping so hard and fast.

Yea doc yell at the kid that was trying to protect himself :P ::)
Yeah, it's because he got so high and because Sully was nowhere near the ball that I think it's a fair flagrant. Sully just had no chance of making a play on the ball and he hammered him. He had too. Griffin was too powerful. Only way to stop him was to hammer him.I don't mind that being a flagrant. Sully didn't get anywhere near the ball and the foul was very physical, potentially dangerous. No complaints.Only looks bad because Griffin is jumping so hard and fast.
Same [dang] contact against KG/Pierce/Bass is a normal foul, every single time. Even when its the same shoulder contact.
Yea doc yell at the kid that was trying to protect himself :P ::)
yell at the kid who missed his rotation. thankfully sullinger is mature and can take it. he wasn't yelling at him for the foul, which was a good hard foul, not a flagrant, but teaching him how his rotation was late.
and, yes, k, the ref's have been horrible. the c's are losing this game on their own. that doesn;t negate the fact that the refs have been calling ticky tack fouls on the c's all night.
Embarrassing performance. Completely outclassed.
Outworked too.

14-14. The definition of mediocrity. They are what they are.
Does Doc coach or is he just a robot? I mean, substitute Garnett based on how he looks, not just an automatic ridiculously short time limit. If you spare him so much time before the fourth quarter, well, guess what? You're going to be in a lot of tight games or behind a lot.
Pierce looks old.Bad game from Pierce.

We are going to be 2-5 in our last 7 games - and the strong Warrior team is awaiting us. The schedule moving forward will be tough. If we lose to the Kings (a real possibility) how much more of a leash will Doc have, and will Danny awake from his slumber, stop drinking the Kool-Aid and realize we have a flawed basketball team?
Again, I don't even enjoy watching this team play basketball... They even lack entertainment value, let alone the fact they stink.
Has Doc lost the team? Just wondering

Stop putting this on this Danny. This team was built to compete but with Doc's refusal to play Darko, we lost a key component of this team that has lead to the product you see out there on the court. If anyway needs to be harangued in all of this, it's Doc by FAR.

Ha, Rondo with the triple. Nice.
Need an early run in the fourth quarter. Gotta get it below 10 as quickly as possible.
we flat out don't have the horses. stars are too old too handle this group.I am losing hope that this team can be a contender when A.Bradley returns
rondo is a great shooter He is slowly developing his 3-pt shot. He is not the same player of 2 or 3 years ago. He is elite in every facet of the game.

Why do we use Green as a corner 3 pt shooter instead of putting him on the block? It's obviously not his strength and no matter how much we use it that way, it's not going to become his strength.It's the only spot on the floor he can make a (perimeter) jump-shot.

We're not blaming the refs. We're saying we're playing like crap, but the refs aren't helping.
Deal with that. Don't go calling people stupid for an opinion.
Now Jeff Green is the center!!!
Nice boxing out. This team sucks.
The notion that they can sit Garnett a lot against another team's starters with the frontcourt they have and still be a good team is ridiculous. It's hubris, it's nonsense and it's muddled thinking.
PG: Rondo vs Bledsoeno its not, turiaf isnt that big. the traditional center is dead in the NBA.

Go smaller, Doc. WHat a joke.Because everything else has worked great so far, right?
Pierce needs to stop trying to play like he's 28.at least he was tryin more then i can say bout ova players smh
Who is number 41? Is that Kris Joseph or the new guy Varnado?Joseph is 43.
Thank goodness I turned away at the first because I knew then it might get ugly... and it did.
I was one to be optimistic, but changes need to be made and I will not feel sorry for whoeve leaves (unless its KG since he is my favorite player and Paul I guess). How does a team go from one of the best in defense to just horrible.
They went from at least trying to just giving up and looking out-everything.
Rondo is not better than CP3 and is not the best PG in the NBA. He might be #2, but #1 he is not.
Who is number 41? Is that Kris Joseph or the new guy Varnado?
who was that random guy who just walked up to danny? lol
Who is number 41? Is that Kris Joseph or the new guy Varnado?Thought Joseph was 43. I think it was the Tornado.
This has to be the most disheartening loss of the season. I wasn't expecting a win against the 22-6 Clippers, but I was expecting some kind of effort. Something to show me that we are within striking distance of being a competitive team.Yeah, I was expecting a performance tonight. Big game. Big opponents. A couple of great matchups with Rondo against CP3 and KG vs B.Griffin.
Right now, I see this team as no better than the Rockets. A star or two, but mainly just a bunch of jumbled pieces that don't fit together and aren't doing well enough to net us another productive player.
Oh, and as I'm typing this, I'm realizing the Rockets actually have a four game lead on us. Wonderful.
I hate to say it, but it may be overhaul time. We are going nowhere.
It's JuJuan Johnson...or wait?!Who is number 41? Is that Kris Joseph or the new guy Varnado?Joseph is 43.
Discussing the refs I this situation is like discussing the lack of back seats on a porche. Who cares; irrelevant; nothing to do with anything; and on and on.I think the point is, the refs are irrelevant. Complaining about the refs when your team is down 20 and getting owned by Matt Barnes is just stupid.Yea doc yell at the kid that was trying to protect himself :P ::)
yell at the kid who missed his rotation. thankfully sullinger is mature and can take it. he wasn't yelling at him for the foul, which was a good hard foul, not a flagrant, but teaching him how his rotation was late.
and, yes, k, the ref's have been horrible. the c's are losing this game on their own. that doesn;t negate the fact that the refs have been calling ticky tack fouls on the c's all night.
Please stop with the refs. Celts are embarrassing themselves.
Please look at the bolded portion. In no way did I say the ref's were responsible for The Celtics losing this game. I merely replied to K about the way the game was being called. If you can show me where I blamed the ref's for The Celtics being down in this game please do so. Otherwise, please don't accuse me of something I didn't do.
Increase your reading comprehension. Stop assigning to me things I didn't write. One can discuss the refereeing without assigning it blame. It is part of the game we are all watching.
Peace out. My brief visit back has only proven why I never come round these parts anymore. The endless fight to see who can be more objective when objectivity is marked by words like "horrible", "suck", "pathetic" and wildly impulsive analysis and observation.
Who is number 41? Is that Kris Joseph or the new guy Varnado?
No, you don't call posters out personally, but you leave it implied. We don't like that here.I didn't call another poster stupid. I said complaining about the refs whe you're down 23 is stupid. So they may have missed a call. Not that I agree. We'd be down 20 instead. Big deal. The refs have nothing to do wih anything anchored in reality.I don't know whether to step in as a mod here or not. Don't go calling people stupid. Especially not when they're talking about an aspect of the game that's going on.I think the point is, the refs are irrelevant.

Also, whether the refs are bad or good, IS relevant. Maybe not relevant to the W or the L, but it's relevant to the score, and the enjoyment we're not getting from watching the game.
We're not blaming the refs. We're saying we're playing like crap, but the refs aren't helping.
Deal with that. Don't go calling people stupid for an opinion.
I'm ready to trade anyone not named Garnett, Rondo, Pierce and Bradley. I hope AB can make a meaningful impact.
Varnado must be nervous. Fell over trying to run down court there.that was varnado? i thought he tripped but it looked so awkward lol
What, because Danny couldn't have figured out the obvious by himself?who was that random guy who just walked up to danny? lol
By the look on Danny's face, I think the guy told him, "dude, your team sucks"
Seriously. What are we supposed to get for our scrubs? Anything more than scrubs is wishful thinking.I'm ready to trade anyone not named Garnett, Rondo, Pierce and Bradley. I hope AB can make a meaningful impact.
so you're basically willing to trade scrubs...surprise
Oh my gosh, look at that! Did you see how deep Ryan Hollins got on post position against Varnado?Yes, Ryan Hollins' main problem is that he's very good in stopping himself.
Hollins was 2-3 feet from the rim. Varnado couldn't do anything to stop him. RYAN HOLLINS!!
taller scrubs?Seriously. What are we supposed to get for our scrubs? Anything more than scrubs is wishful thinking.I'm ready to trade anyone not named Garnett, Rondo, Pierce and Bradley. I hope AB can make a meaningful impact.

"I think we're getting better," he said. "I think we're very, very close to becoming a good team, but we're not yet. Our record tells us we're not. Until our record tells us we are, we're not. But we're playing better."
Maybe so. But for a trade to be even, if they are taller, they'll also have to be scrubbier.taller scrubs?Seriously. What are we supposed to get for our scrubs?

Doc recently:And? This was more or less true before they took a gigantic step backward today.Quote"I think we're getting better," he said. "I think we're very, very close to becoming a good team, but we're not yet. Our record tells us we're not. Until our record tells us we are, we're not. But we're playing better."
This has to be the most disheartening loss of the season. I wasn't expecting a win against the 22-6 Clippers, but I was expecting some kind of effort. Something to show me that we are within striking distance of being a competitive team.The bold is what angers me. I really didn't expect a win, but at least put in some effort and bring something. I don't even know who can get mad and speak to the team about this because dang near everyone played like crap and did not show up. They should be embarrassed by this (if they haven't already with the past losses).

I hate Blake Griffin

No, Ryan Hollins has spent his entire career trying not to travel or drop the ball. His problem isn't banging with people, it's the complete lack of awareness and coordination, and the hands of stone.Oh my gosh, look at that! Did you see how deep Ryan Hollins got on post position against Varnado?Yes, Ryan Hollins' main problem is that he's very good in stopping himself.
Hollins was 2-3 feet from the rim. Varnado couldn't do anything to stop him. RYAN HOLLINS!!
Ryan Hollins has spent his entire career getting overpowered by opponents. And Varnado can't go chest to chest with him? This is a very bad sign.
Doesn't like an NBA center. Maybe a defensive orientated PF. But not a center.
I wonder what goes on in the locker room after games like this...
Hey, way to go Courtney Lee. Got the deficit to 29. Avoided the thirty point loss.haha yeah I was thinking the same thing.
I hate Blake Griffin
well if he was on the Celtics maybe we wouldn't be in this mess
30 point deficitI had to stop looking at the score. I'm too angry right now to the point where I'm laughing right now.
I wonder what goes on in the locker room after games like this...I don't know but I would hate to be in that locker room after the game.
14-14 wasn't good enough for the Nets. It better not be good enough for the Celtics. Something big has to happen immediately. This is just ridiculous.

in the Clippers side they are laughing their tails off at the Celtics
The score? You should have stopped looking at the game.30 point deficitI had to stop looking at the score. I'm too angry right now to the point where I'm laughing right now.
Griffin has really stepped up his game offensively. That jump shot has made the world of difference.I hate Blake Griffin
well if he was on the Celtics maybe we wouldn't be in this mess
yup he went from the most hyped rookie to legitimately the most underrated player..Chris Paul gets all the shine and in my estimation Blake is their best player and the depth is unreal
Maybe Avery Bradley can grow a foot and play center.14-14 wasn't good enough for the Nets. It better not be good enough for the Celtics. Something big has to happen immediately. This is just ridiculous.
Yup
I kind of wish we didn't see Varnado and how goofy he is so I could still yell "PUT IN VARNADO" at my tv.
Like Collins? How's that working out for ya?taller scrubs?Seriously. What are we supposed to get for our scrubs? Anything more than scrubs is wishful thinking.I'm ready to trade anyone not named Garnett, Rondo, Pierce and Bradley. I hope AB can make a meaningful impact.
so you're basically willing to trade scrubs...surprise
I'm not saying that. Someone else did. In any case, they don't have any particular trade value to speak of -- it's a combination of age, contract situation, and performance.Like Collins?

So you're saying everybody outside of the big 3 and bradley are talentless scrubs? That is indeed news to me.
I stopped watching the game a long time ago. When I saw they were down close to 20 in the first quarter I turned the channel and watched something else while checking on the score and turning back from time to time.The score? You should have stopped looking at the game.30 point deficitI had to stop looking at the score. I'm too angry right now to the point where I'm laughing right now.
Well, what I'm saying is that you get talent for talent. Trading spare parts will only get you spare parts in return. Won't make a bit of difference.Like Collins?

KG just told Chris Paul not to mess with "Do." In other, not so nice words...
I think we will pull the trigger on a Cousins trade and give up Bradley, Sullinger, and Lee.I think the Kings give you a hearty laugh.

exactly...this was really the only point...they're in the nba they can play..but they have no trade value and generally scrubs this season, definitely disappointed in how the jet has panned out thus far, Courtney Lee has been a scrub...Jeff green is inconsistent and overpaid and the big men suck outside of kg and sullys potentialI'm not saying that.

17 players rebounded better than collinsgarbage for a 7 footer who was our starter I can grab 1 rebound in da NBA nd im 5'7
collins had 1 rebound and 0 points in 17 min.
You're right but with KG I don't think there's any one way or the other when it comes to chirping he does it constantlySo I wonder if Rondo and Paul were going at it in the end, KG got in Paul's ear I guess! ;DQuote@KristineLeahyhttps://twitter.com/KristineLeahy/status/284513304762785792

It's pretty sad to see our guys act and talk tough and get abused on the basketball floor. Who cares how tough they talk if they can't back it up?
Nobody played well for Boston today.lol
Well, maybe Courtney Lee. Jeez, it seems like almost every time Lee plays well, the C's end up losing the game. That guy has been an unlucky charm so far this season.
rondo got 6 assists and 10 points. not going to cut it.

Alright, I'm on the "change something" bandwagon now. This team just isn't getting it done.
If you can get Demarcus Cousins or Marcin Gortat without giving up Rondo or Bradley, do it and don't look back. Nobody else on this team is off-limits except Garnett, and he's not getting traded anyway. It's time. I can deal with a tough loss to a good team, but I'll never accept 30-point blowouts when my team is supposed to be a contender. That's a clear-as-crystal signal that something's wrong.

We saw what this team can do on Christmas day when pride rises to the fore. But at this point will we even make the playoffs. We are a .500 team and looking at what 7th or 8th seed. One injury could throw that cute plan into disarray.
