And Doc pulls Green from the game after the blown alley-oop.  Gotta do wonders for his confidence.

is jeff green ten?

No, but even professional athletes need a playing rhythm and confidence to perform.

Jeff gets enough coddling. I'm interested in winning games, not stroking egos.

I don't think ego has anything to do with it.  It's more of him finding a role on the team and executing it with confidence so that the team benefits overall.  I understand he hasn't particularly earned his minutes in the past few games, but finding that role is hard to do when you're playing 15 minutes a night.

Got the shots the Celtics wanted them to take, but Josh hit one of those threes

is jeff green ten?

No, but even professional athletes need a playing rhythm and confidence to perform.

he;s had 3 months, the pre season and he stuck up 20 minutes of the first half.  how much more time does he need?

He's been one entire season out AND heart surgery. We might disagree on this, but I believe he'll need some more time, maybe a full year to get back to 100% confidence and game shape.

We need him to be a better team.

Go Celtics!

[makaveli]

great game, much respect for the celtics fans in the building

[fairweatherfan]

Great win after a terrible start.  This back-to-back has been the first cause for optimism in awhile. 

[Neurotic Guy]

Last night we held onto a large lead and tonight we came back and extended a lead.  2 things we have not been able to do this year.

So is Bass back?

[blink]

absolutely awesome performance in the 2nd half.  we came out playing tough tough D and that keyed us to everything.  I don't know if this is the turn around we all want, but it is fun either way.

[Donoghus]

Sweeping a home/away back to back is a step in the right direction.
