Celtics (45-24) at Jazz (45-25) 3/22

It's probably going to be a close game but considering how focused and good the C's have looked recently I think we end up winning this one too.

Hope nobody gets injured and KG gets out of this arena OK, though (superstitious, me? meh).

TP FL and let's go C's!

Wow, such unexpected optimism!

TP for you, sir. And here's hoping you're right.

Let's get this one. Get it good

LETS GO CELTICS!!!

Huge advantage on the wings for the Celtics. That will likely be the deciding factor in the game.

Either they show up and they do their job and vastly outplay the opposition or they fail to do so and give Utah a great opening and opportunity to win the game.

That was a dark night in Salt Lake City last season...and not because we lost a game.  I'm such a Debbie Downer.  I don't know why that came to mind.

I was thinking the same thing but I won't mention it.

It will be nice to win this game and have KG play well...I'd like some vindication.

Sheed or Perk or KG absolutely must keep tabs on Okur..that guy will pop threes all day long if we're not careful.

TP for FLCeltsFan for Post!

I am very much looking forward to the Rondo/Williams match up. I'm looking forward to Rondo causing some havoc on the defensive end against him. I love how Rondo can dominate a game in so many ways without scoring

True that.

Can't wait for this game either.

April. They said it before; April. He'll be shooting well by April.

And honestly, his field goals, well, I haven't got the stats, but whether he hits 'm more often or not; it seems like he's found his spot and isn't afraid to take them anymore.

That's a whole lot of comma's in one line.

I'm breaking out the buttkicking good luck hardware for this one.  I'm ready to see the upward trend continue and the days of disappointed to fade into obscurity.

I really want this one more than any game in a long time, after those classy Jazz fans celebrated when KG hurt his knee last year (check the clip - two-thirds of the arena stood up and cheered).

There isn't a more hateful fan base in the NBA. They make LA fans look classy (but not clueless - LA owns that category hands down).

[Eddie20]

We'll probably see some cross matchups, with KG covering the perimeter oriented Okur and Perk staying with Boozer.

Williams strength has really caused some problems for Rondo in the past.  However, Williams' PT seems to be limited (shoulder) over the last few games as he has not played more than 32 minutes in 4 games.


Watch out for Paul Millsapp! He's the type of player that gives our team fits (Craig Smith with a lot more talent) and has been on a tear over the last week. In our early season meeting he has 13 rebs (5 off) in just 23 minutes.


GO C's!
