Green, your #3 everyone, just where you want him.

What's the story with in your sig? Lady Gaga C's fan? I am confused 

No, it's just a joke... she said bless the gays not Celtics.

Horrible win tonight. So close to having the Magic catch us and being in 3rd place. Now the lakers leapfrog us and we become virtually tied with like 3 other teams for the 5th worst record.

Hopefully the Pacers obliterate us and and squash any sense of team spirit this team has left.

We were never going to lose out the season so chill.

After this game we're not going to be favored again for a long time. We'll probably be pick ems versus Detroit and New York but other than that the C's are going to be dogs a lot in the upcoming games.

Never even implied we were. Just don't like us winning against better teams with no breathing room. And I hate the Lakers with a passion so if we dont finish below them OR beat them with the ping pong balls I will be pretty p---ed.

Hawks aren't better than us though, they're what 1-10 in the last 11 games and were tired?

Injuries and fatigue have crushed their squad, their record and point differential are all reflections of the team with Millsap and Horford. Without those two the team is every bit a bottom 5 squad.

That's the way I see it..........they ll win a. Few game again when Milsap gets back.......Hawks remind me of the old Utah Jazz team with Milsapp

WE WIN WE WIN WE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're gonna get the W here! Yes!

Atlanta is fading fast, we could sneak into that 8th seed!

I wouldnt even watch the series. Anything less than the 5th worst record is a dissapointment honestly.

Would honestly be an awful series, would be a wasted year, and would set us up for further mediocrity.. How anybody could root for the 8th seed is beyond me

Dat slippery slope hyperbole

Good win at home. Rondo looks like's getting back to speed.

I wonder if Bayless will continue to start.

Im sorry but some of us thinks that the season being a wash is just the a bright side and still rooting for wins.

You play to win the game remember? I get the "we're better in the future" talk. I've heard that a ton from LrBrd33. And I agree, but we still root for winning, regardless if it's the 8th seed.

I wonder if Bayless will continue to start.

Knowing Stevens, he'll score 8 points next game and immediately be relegated back to the bench.

The Memphis Grizzlies play to win the game.

The Boston Celtics play (and in this case lose) to win Championships

You're confusing Stevens with Doc

That's more of a Bayless thing if anything. Dude's streaky.

[cman88]

not too worried we won this. atlanta is horrible right now...and we have their/brooklyns pick. so any brooklyn/atlanta loss is a good one!

Plus, look at our upcoming schedule. pretty brutal.

Yeah other than the Knicks/Pistons games at home we're decided underdogs in every single game in March iirc.

Its the NBA so you never know what randomness is going to happen on a given night, but for those tankers upset at the win remember we managed to get swept by Scaramento, Jazz, Lakers immediately prior to this game.

We still suck.

No, that's more of a Stevens thing: dude has no rotation so people go on and off his starting lineup for no apparent reason.

Although ultimately this stems from having no real system: having a system means you know what you're trying to achieve on the court, and thus have a good idea which players can execute it best.
