Jordan Crawford vs Avery Bradley? ??? I must have misread that.
I prefer this image of Crawford ;D

Vucevic's head looks too small for his body in that photo up there.
It'll be interesting to see how the players react after their big win against Miami.
Feels like a letdown game is coming soon. Hard to maintain the effort and focus they have played with over the last four games.
Orlando is a young team that will be playing their 3rd game in 4 days as well and will be on the road. I don't think this game is going to be a pretty one.
Lucky the Orlando feed is always pumped into Tampa so I get to see the game tonight but Lord their announcers suck.
That game reminded me of Rick Pitino's first Celtic game. We beat Michael Jordan and the defending champion Bulls. Our kiddies won 36 games that year and missed the playoffs.It'll be interesting to see how the players react after their big win against Miami.

This ....pretty much my outlook .
Does this big win boost their confidence have them still riding high or do they fall to piece s ....in a trap game of sorts.

Part of me thinks winning 36 games this year would kind of suck... we'd miss out on a top 8 pick and enter into a period of perpetual mediocrity. But devil's advocate... winning 36 games that year landed us the #10 pick. We put it to good use... Paul Pierce. We still ended up as a perpetual mediocre team, though. It took us a decade until we were a 50+ win team again.
Great to see Avery hitting a pair of jumpers early. His defense is so good. If you can get anything out of him offensively, he makes such a big impact on the game.
Enjoying watching Olynyk out there. So nice watching skilled size.

I think we may have the best collection of passing bigs in the league. Very impressive.
Sully ballin' tonight!
tp for the scoopWhere is old BBD...?Injured. Foot surgery.

Lee-Sully-Wallace have been great off the bench, and I think Faverani looks better coming off the bench too, solidifies rebounding and defense for the second unit which is highly valuable.

Faverani is forcing opponents to keep their PF on Sully defensively too. Making Sully more of a post-up threat.

Are we the most exciting team in the league?
I think so!!!!!
Lol wow... the way these kids are sharing the ball ... we might not even need a traditional point guard. Trade Rondo for draft picks.

Banner 18 BABY!!!
Reminds me of last season where we were below .500 with Rondo hogging the ball... then started winning games once we started sharing. If these kids can keep this up, we might be best off trading Rondo.Lol wow... the way these kids are sharing the ball ... we might not even need a traditional point guard. Trade Rondo for draft picks.
I can always count on LarBrd to see the bright side.
Sullinger is averaging a 20 and 10 per 36 minutes...
We gotta find some takers for Bass and Wallace.

I had this whole thing backwards... if we want to tank this season, we need Rondo to return asap.

Kind of a dumb move by Big Al and the Bobcats...but it seems NOT tanking has been working out for many teams right now.

funny that we bring in an actual coach and a guy like Crawford responds. It was totally obvious that a talented player who most needed to be actually coached would improve with Stevensdoc didn't coach...hold practice.....he just had kg and pp...and rondo....

Never would have thought I would grow to like Crawford's game. He's been absolutely terrific this season.

You clearly weren't paying attention what type of player he was in Washington when there were minutes for him.

Yeah I thought he was a known headcase. Is this a Ricky Davis-type acquisition? One of those nutty kids that Ainge likes to buy low and attempt to sell high?.. or can he actually have a good career?Never would have thought I would grow to like Crawford's game. He's been absolutely terrific this season.
Same here. I stand corrected.

Kelly's defense is terrible, I wonder if Doc would even play him at all

Bradley has 16 points now. Having himself a really good game.
I'm surprised Bass handled that pass.
I'm nervous that this team is winning. Its doing more damage long term by not doing the right thing and tanking. Please trade Crawford and Bass for anything as long as the C's get a 2nd rounder or something with them.

If they keep this up, Marshon may see some minutes!
Orlando is not a good team, and it's one game, but I can't remember a single game last year where we executed so consistently on offense.
If they keep this up, Marshon may see some minutes!
yes! finally
We are firing at ALL cylinders. No way we are tanking at this rate. Amazing team basketball. Where are all the naysayers now?
I really don't care what they finish with for a record. Just keep playing entertaining ball. Really nice to watch.
Wallace is like out tony allen...on D..only meaner..!
Finally pressey makes a shot!
allace a whiner...not really....dude is tough...Wallace is like out tony allen...on D..only meaner..!
and whiner.. and nice 3 by Pressy
Pressey is like a 5 foot 7 Chris Paul.
it would be great if we could trade Bass. Sully will inevitably take all those minutes.
I really like Oladipo, particularly a player that seems willing to play defense with his offensive potential.
Pressey is like a 5 foot 7 Chris Paul.
Lets not let the success drive us crazy tonight. :P
In the other news Pacers just won against Memphis
8-0 !!

We'll be at .500 if we win.
Would like to see some Marshon.
Also, we're averaging 29 points a quarter.
feels like a big change from a year ago. ;D

I mean, if the choice is between Wiggins and Not Wiggins, I'll take Wiggins (for now).
Doesn't mean I don't want the team to win.

What i hated the most is that some fans wrote this team off big time.
only 15 wins or 20 wins. Which is like an insult to read
KO :-X
what was that Sully???
He is looking like he is dying out there

Wonder if Stevens can get us above .500 ? ???
Goodbye, Parker :'(

i think he will. we will look back at docs 41-40 season and see just how much talent he wasted with his crappy styles.

far from over yet. we may still get a top 5 pick. LONG way to go but this team is like a phoenix rising from the ashes. I'm in shock honestly. i never expected this.
When does the streak end......Bobcats got Big Al .......hummmm ???

HOW ABOUT THAT OFFENSE????????? WHEN did we get that regularly from doc rivers?????How about every season? Or is being in the top 5 for field goal percentage not good enough for you? The Celtics did it five times over the last six years (last year they came in sixth).

Hey Kozlodoev , what do you think of Olynyk's defense now?? Is he still too slow for you?You mean that holding the Orlando Magic to just 46% shooting and 14 offensive rebounds is some sort of defensive achievement these days?

ha, ha...olynyk is going to be a good nba player. but his defense will never be stellar on a consistent basis. watch how he has to play way off his man so often. he simply doesnt have the lateral movement/speed to defend well.
kozy is on target here.
yet, olly can be a credible to average nba defender against many other forwards. and his team defense is fine.
great offense with credible defense? i will take that from olly.
i disagree. You can't be a liability and not get killed on the floor. Teams would pound on olynyk by doing ISO plays but you just can't. Where was Vucevic again tonight??Vucevic had 15 pts, 10 rebs (4 offensive), and 4 assists (with 3 steals and 1 block, for good measure). What game did you watch exactly?

Is that the kind of production the magic need him to score for them to have a chance to win?What the Magic need in order to win is to actually make a defensive stop or two. Or 20.
Olynyk was not only guarding him tonight but when he did , Vucevic not only had problems getting the ball down low, he couldn't even get into position properlyAfter a full paragraph of top quality spin you graciously allow me to spin it "whichever way I like"? How generous.
You can spin it whichever way you like, but bottom line is your prediciton about olynyks incapability as defender was wrong.

If you're insinuating that Olynyk prevented Vucevic from pulling some sort of Shaq impersonation, I can but laugh.

Not sure what you said.Orlando had a good offensive game. Vucevic got a good offensive game. We did little defensively to slow them down or keep them off the offensive glass. Was that easier to understand?
It's ok, you don't have to admit anything.
Just enjoy the Sully and Olynyk upfront duo for years to come
120 points? On 60 percent from the field? Are you kidding me? Is Brad Stevens a wizard or what? How does he have these guys playing this well? I'm seriously in shock.In related news, Jordan Crawford now has 44 assists and 10 TO on the season. :o
I'm shocked at how effective both Crawford and Pressey have been as PG's.

Let's go ahead and not pretend that the offense was anything but painful to watch the past 2-3 years, alright?
The Big 3 Celtics were a mess on offense ever since Shaq went out with an achilles injury.
It is absolutely refreshing to see this team making the most of its disparate parts and playing energetic, fast-break basketball. It won't work consistently against good teams, but it's fun when it does work against a bad team like Orlando.
