Celtics (2-3) at Bucks (3-1) 11/10

Great fourth-quarter performance for Green, on offense and defense. Looked really aggressive.

Great team defensive effort in the fourth.

Much more encouraging play tonight. Good job, guys.

Great grinding game tonight.

TPs for all.

[Adelaide Celt]

Many more positive signs today. Well done all.

[Kuberski1]

Best game of the year, win or lose, though will certainly take the win.  Defense solid, and better offensive sets and movement.  Nice game by Green as well...

[Mr October]

Nice to see Green step up as the game went along. Nice win. nice team energy tonight. Lets keep improving!

Pierce happiest guy to see Judas go. He is once again focal point of the offense. Born to score buckets.

oh yea for sure 20-23ppg seems realistic for him dis year especially once he gets in a groove later in da season

the guy had open heart surgery 10 months ago. Naysayers are irrational.

I don't think that's the reason at all, and I don't think it's an excuse either.

Green's play in the preseason proved that he has no problem with his physical conditioning, and proved that he still knows how to play the game.

First 5 games I think he just didn't didn't have the confidence, and didn't have an aggresive mentality.

Today right from the started he was getting more involved.  Very rarely (if at all) today did I see him just stand in the corner for 5-8 seconds on offense (as he has in the previous games) - he was moving much more without the ball.

Possible that having Terry move to the starting lineup helped, as this helped single out Green as the clearly go-to guy off the bench.  Previously Terry was playing like the #1 guy on the second unit, and Green seemed to be happy to just leave that to him. 

Also possible that he got fed up of losing games and decided he was going to do something out there.  Or maybe KG and Doc lit a firecracker under his rear end!

Don't care why it is, just glad to see the preseason version of JG making a comback.  Now he just needs to keep it up!!

I agree it started with rebounding and then him setting some nice screens, his offense started clicking from there let's hope he can keep it up

Jeff Green, welcome to the Boston Celtics.  So glad you decided to show up.

I like that doc seems to be done with the Bass/sullinger back-court...I think that helped alot with our defense

Wilcox was the first big off the bench, with Sully subbing for bass...

[GreenFaith1819]

Woke up, ran to the computer, and saw the good news.

BOS beat a probable playoff team last nght.

Still a lot of fight left in this team...they are STILL gelling as a team, but it's wins like THIS that prove what BOS can still do.

Great win, C's!

[Edgar]

More time to Terry an Green = Another win.


No Bass and Sully at the same time = Wins




Thank god Doc Rivers read Celticsblog

Jason Terry played the second least minutes he's played in any game this season.

It was nice to see Jeff Green finally start to earn some more minutes.

Luckily, Chris Wilcox is rounding into shape so that Doc doesn't have to play two undersized power forwards together on the front line.
