This should not be a game.

Horrible offensive execution and some stupid defense is the reason we're not winning by 20+.

Need Bradley/Lee out there to stay in front of Lin/Harden and to push the tempo to give us more easy looks.

This defense/effort from Terry, Bradley, Lee, Green and Sullinger has been absolutely mindblowing. 

I hope I don't see any more complaining about Terry because his afford has been off the charts today, and his defense in the last few games has been absolutely outstanding.

Even against a far bigger (hight and weight) Harden Terry has done an amazing job and his hustle on that save earlier in the game was inspiring.

Green looks like he is finally awakening.

Lee has been outstanding

Bradley's defense has made Harden look like a 3rd string SG

Garnett and Bradley are both playing well for the starters. 

I love this team right now!!!!

Sully is slowly reaching major trade chip-to-untradable status.  And I love it!

i'm glad that you love this team right now because, evidently, our GM does not. he is as bad as the posters on CelticsBlog about constantly thinking, "Now, who can i trade next ?"

Been speaking to Danny?  Don't believe everything you read about who C's are talking to or offering.  Mostly, Danny doing his due dilligence to ensure no stone unturned.  He should trade if he can make the team better.

Problem being that many of Danny's trades look good on paper, but blow up the chemistry of the team - talent is only half the battle.  a team with decent talent and great chemistry  will usually beat  more talent that does not compliment. Danny plays on that edge way too much and it has blown up in his face (and our face) as a result.

leave this team alone and worry more about making the players happy instead of looking at how big a trade chip they might be.

I like seeing Bradley coming back in for Terry.

C's have looked really good tonight with a couple of small exceptions when Houston went on those 1st and 3rd quarter runs.  the bench has really stepped up this game and played like the bench we hoped we had before we started this season.  this team may have actually finally turned the corner.  can't wait for wilcox to get back.
should have kept my mouth shut   :-[

Impressive finish by Harden in transition. 4 point game.

Turnover Rondo, fastbreak, Parsons dunk. 2 point game. Ugh ...

In this game Rondo has been extra stubborn giving it to the wide open man in the corner.

get the bench back in there. the starters haven't done so well tonight, especially bass. pierce is also being a little careless with the ball.
