How Portland is not a better team keeps eluding me, must be the horrible bench, but even then...
Start Green, Doc.
Start Green, Doc.
nah, I think Jeff should be K.G.'s early sub going forward & Bass will then slide to the 5. Green = more minutes

That bench is horrific. Then again when we had everyone healthy our super bench was getting outplayed by the Clips bench.

Do you mean "open a can in Portland"?

We need to win this one badly to salvage this road trip. I really don't see this team team going into Utah and winning on monday night. Im curious to see what kind of minutes Doc is going to give Green, as well as how Williams and Crawford fit in with KG.
Lets get the W....should not be close..We're not playing the Suns... Blazers would actually be a legit 7th-8th seed team if their bench was at least respectable! To me they are the slight favorites given how we play on the road this season...
Vegas has them as a 2 point favoriteLets get the W....should not be close..We're not playing the Suns... Blazers would actually be a legit 7th-8th seed team if their bench was at least respectable! To me they are the slight favorites given how we play on the road this season...
Two quick fouls on PP, first call was terrible. Green's gonna get more burn
Hickson is alwayssolid....bass better get MORE solid on him..! Melo on hickson...= YES..!NOOOOOOO
Wilcox was in there big time...he looks better these days....
Anyone know why KG, after sitting out a game, had to rest after playing a **** 4.5 minutes? Not only that, but it was so important to get KG rest that he had to call a timeout? I swear, Doc is more focused on resting KG, on seeming wise about how he uses KG than coaching the freaking game. Doc is one of the opposition's biggest weapons.
yupper..!Wilcox was in there big time...he looks better these days....
Couldn't get off Doc's bench... Doc liked Collins... Well you know!
LOL epic flop by Bradley
Green looked more comfortable, starting and being the man.
imagine if we had doug collins as a coach....he gets a lot out of a little....doc plays who he likes...till he gets forced to play other options...Anyone know why KG, after sitting out a game, had to rest after playing a **** 4.5 minutes?

whether KG has a day off or not.. he's always on a 5min rule unless the game is close at the end...

I honestly don't think it was a flop, whether it was a foul it's questionable, but Bradley just ran into a wall.
Tony Allen is spot lighting on ESPNlosing TA for marquis was the last biggest mistake...! or one of them...
Why the bleep does bass play so much?

Walls don't move, and if the defender doesn't move, it's not a foul. That was a flop, I don't care if Bradley is a Celtic. ;)

Don't see what any of this has to do with being a flop or not.
Good ball movement, but shots just aren't falling.yeah, it just looks like one of those nights... ::)
Can't MAKE a lane...!
Need a Rondo out here....
T-Will looks out of control out there tonight
When everyone is healthy, kind of a log jam.
Need to get Bradley, Crawford, Terry, and Lee all minutes.
Plus T-Will, Green, and Pierce.
Not Doc's strong suit,
My opinion, Lee is the weak link.
twill, should stay....just needs to learn his role..2 games is no time to judge.....gotta WAIT till someone is under the rim before you shoot..!!!
What the heck was T Will doing out there? He made a great impression against Phoenix as a passer first. That's his great strength. He's a very erratic shooter. I don't know why he entered the game and gunned away. He has no one to blame for getting only a few minutes. I doubt he gets in the game again. His chances of sticking after ten days have dropped dramatically after this performance.

but but but.. we have a healty crew on the 2007/2008..
the only difference was our 2nd unit are built for both offense/defense... Posey.. TA..
Bass just watching.TWO chicken pot pies...!
Bass just watching.When you think he already looks bad when "hustles" and always comes out empty...when he just stands there, there's no words. ::)
man I really liked Leanard coming out of the draft but calling him "raw" is an understatement. Dude looks lost out there
last 3 trips all on bass. Get jeff in there!

Big 5-0 run! YAR!

I'd take Melo. They just showed Bass #'s over the last three games. 6 pts and 6 rebounds. I guarantee Melo could do better if he can similiar minutes.

Melo? are you kidding me? He isn't NBA ready yet.
downright awful way to close the half. Gave up a 3, and a layup that both should have been prevented
It is funny to me when you see the Celtics play rotten defense, no offense, no rebounding, no shot blocking..then you say a guy isn't NBA ready.....melo....could he do worse than that..? No wayyyyyyy....

too bad you are again wrong. No one can be judged in playing LITTLE time...you should know better, sitting and not playing, as if someone is going to come in as a rookie and take over a game.. PERIOD, exclamation, comma period.

okay..no need for us to go at it....I just want to see him play and see what he can do....in a supported environment, a rookie needs some support as this is the nba, and we know how the refs will treat him, and doc too....but i respect your opinion.
It's like an everyothergame thing with the refs.
what is Rip City..?
i remember them...used to laugh at Duckworth.....dodsworth...!what is Rip City..?
Drexler, Porter, Kersey, Duckworth...

Drexler, Porter, Kersey, Duckworth...
Please start Green over Bass
The nickname Rip City is usually used in the context of the city's NBA team, the Portland Trail Blazers. The term was coined by the team's play-by-play announcer Bill Schonely during a game against the Los Angeles Lakers on February 18, 1971, the Blazers' first season.According to Wikipedia ...
In the days prior to the three-point field goal, Blazers' guard Jim Barnett took an ill-advised long distance shot that nonetheless went in, giving the new team hope for a victory against the powerful Lakers. Excited, Schonely exclaimed "Rip City! All right!" Schonely admits that he has no idea how he came up with the expression, but it became synonymous with the team and the city of Portland.
I can't see the game. Why the compliments to Green? Box score says he's playing like crap again.
Give it to Green every play.
Give it to Green every play.
Doc, you idiot!!! You just subbed out your best player.
we can't hit anything... game!
I wish a reporter or someone would ask Doc why he puts in Bass for Green.
Another Doc Rivers special.Some things just never change
Bass haters. Go home!
I hate that small players can just fall over and get a call.Unless you're on the Celtics.
Gary Tanguay is creepy.
We got this :D
Lilliard owned Bradley tonight.
Lilliard owned Bradley tonight.The only time Lillard got anything clean was off a pick and roll. In which case it was the help defenses' fault not Bradley's.
We can only hope that in the playoffs some of these prayer shots from the opposing teams don't always fall.

Agreed Bradley did a very good job on Lillard overall, just made a bad play late in the game on that pick and roll. No reason to fight over it that far from the hoop. Help should have still been there though.Lilliard owned Bradley tonight.The only time Lillard got anything clean was off a pick and roll. In which case it was the help defenses' fault not Bradley's.

Liliard split the defense and got to the hoop or created an open shot off his penetration on many key plays down the stretch when Bradley was on him. Not to mention the key rebounds he came up with.

And its the same thing with Rondo, blaming him for "not keeping a guy inbetween his knees" when you can see him getting hit with a pick to free up his man.Lilliard owned Bradley tonight.

It was multiple plays. I thought Bradley was supposed to stop the opposing guards from doing this to us now that Rondo is out and is not reaching for steals and playing matadore defense.
