Celtics (9-7) at Bucks (7-7) 12/1

sanders is a freaking octopus.

For a post defensive specialist, Jason Collins has not been very effective so far in that area (Aldridge roasted him yesterday).  Slow in team D too. 

Is Wilcox still sick?

[Neurotic Guy]

Needless to say, this is no blowout.  Bucks completely back in this game.  Too bad -- C's could have demoralized them early.

Green playing well offensively again -- great to see it.

I wish Green would try the windmill or the cradle dunk. I think he is athletic enough to do both.

Pierce has to be injured. He has no lift and no latteral movement. Looks terrible. Smh. 17- point led down to 4

It's sad but it's not enexplicable when a 35 year old player has declined so fast over a summer... I've seen this happen to some other players in the past as well. father time can be cruel...

Between this and last night's game, I feel like the offense just dies when the 2nd unit is in.  Zero ball movement, and Green is turning into a ball stopper.

Our 2nd unit, is pretty much our 3rd unit considering our injuries/suspensions/sickness. And Green is doing no ball stopping at all.

Bass, Green, and Barbosa are absolutely our 2nd unit guys.  We've known since last year about "No Pass Bass."  I feel like Green isn't the ballhog Bass can be, but there's no reason for him to hold the ball forever trying to post up his guy.  It's probably Doc going out of his way to run plays for him to boost his confidence, but it still slows down the offense too much, causing them to rely on contested jump shots late in the shot clock.

Green is 4 for 5 and he's made his moves quick.

Barbosa is really not 2nd unit, he's really filling in as second unit until Bradley is back. We're also playing Collins. And because of injuries, player rotations are off, no consistency, and Doc is doing random substitutions to keep our players fresh.

second unit will improve immensely when Avery returns.

This I what amazes me about Kobe. He still looks like a kid.

Bucks have been making a lot of tough shots today.

[vinnie]

This is demoralizing to say the least. 17 point lead now 1

Green missed another rotation

I am not demoralized at all, I would think the players aren't either. This is the NBA, teams are going to make runs. Milwaukee made some nice adjustments, Boston's defense was not as effective. Bucks are a good team, not another Portland. Going to be a fight.

36 points in a quarter is unacceptable

[vinnie]

Pierce looks like he is 200 years old

[Chief]

Oh good. They ran the end of the game set.
