DeRozan has a much improved post game this year. It might be difficult to get away with the small backcourts while DeRozan is out on the floor.Yeah, I think this is one of those matchups that Green can handle, or maybe even Pierce. Not a shooter so he won't make them pay for playing off a little.
I think Doc should go big with Pierce / J.Green together against Gay / DeRozan when Courtney Lee needs a rest. Avoid those small backcourts. Or if Lee struggles, go to Pierce / Green as first choice wing combination against Gay / DeRozan.
Bargnani (elbow) is a game-time call for Wednesday's contest against Boston, TSN 1050 AM reports. (about 2 hours ago)

I think this will be a very interesting game.
Road game against a pesky club. I expect a tight one.
This is totally a trap game.
Garnett should cause the Raptors a lot of problems. Aaron Gray is a slow footed and incompetent defender away from the basket. Garnett's high post game and Bass' spot-up shooting should do a great job of unsettling the Raptors team + interior defense.My thoughts exactly. Bosh destroyed them in their last game.
The game isn't showing on my directv NBALP what the heck?!

That was a bad miss by Pierce on the 3. Great look at the basket.
I hope nobody trips over that Raptors sign on the baseline.I think that is just an image. Made to look 3-D.

Haha, okay. My bad. I can never tell from text on forum.
How is Lucas employed in the NBA?
Sad that Bargs is being guarded by Green, yet he still plays on the perimeter.Bargnani has a pretty effective post game against combo forwards like J.Green.

His coach needs to force him down there into the post.
folks, we basically have ONE big man that being KG. collins and wilcox are terrible and bass is no big man. without sully we need a big man!!!!!!!!!!! Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I don't see the C's acquiring a big without hurting their guard depth.
Pierce's FT% must be on the low 60's during the last month... frustrating!!
Need a shot blocker...bad.
There is something sad about watching KG try to beat Gray off the dribble.
His moves are just so slow.
Pierce's FT% must be on the low 60's during the last month... frustrating!!
57/80 (.7125) this year before today's game.

Birdman says hi from Miami... ::)
man these 2 toronto commentators suck. i wish i had gorman!
No complaints other than the fact that this is an extremely boring game. I give credit to the Celts. They can only play the teams that are on their schedule, but the schedule has certainly been kind to them since the Miami game. I mean the game tomorrow night will be like a D-league team against the Celts given no Pau and likely no Howard. Should be a blowout tomorrow and looking forward to seeing KG go over 25,000 points!
man these 2 toronto commentators suck. i wish i had gorman!
Oddly enough I have Mike and Tommy for my league pass tonight.....can't remember that ever happening for a road game before. Happens the other way a few times, so it is a pleasant surprise today. Those Toronto guys are bad, they're still carrying a grudge from Gerald Green hamming it up on them a few years back.
I wanna see Peaches play! I feel bad for him being stuck in the Raptors bench.. :(

I am just saying it will hardly be the Lakers. They have NO big men left.
NBA refereeing at its finest.
Who the hell are these refs? Never seen any of them in my life.

OOOh Bass and Collins. Looks like a championship basketball lineup to me.
I don't know who sucks the most, these Raptors commentators or the refs...
Get Wilcox in there!Yeah, I don't know why Collins is in there in the first place.
Nice trap by Bass
Ahhh Bass I'm ready for you to go bye bye.bass never fails to shake my head.
you have to admit this raptor team has looked great since getting gay... great move for themI would've loved Rudy here.
GET WILCOX IN THERE! WTH IS WRONG WITH RIVERS?

wow doc is just stupid and stubborn. what a lineup.
This team needs another big really bad.
This team needs another big really bad.
this is pathetic... remembered the B's were on and was gonna turn that on except its not on nesn tonight and I dont get the channel its on... dang...It's on NBC sports bro
a man of a limited mind...! When he is 100, and senile, he will be sayinf over and over again, "get PP, Ray, and KG in there, sit the rooks!"....wow doc is just stupid and stubborn. what a lineup.
nothing new pal.
This is a good lineup for Boston. Good chance to make back this 10 point deficit.
I almost turned this one off... Almost!
we would be dead without KG.exactly, this team would be dead without kg..he runs the team...always did..!
jet why pull up ??? he made it thankfully
Toronto shooting themselves in foot leaving Bargnani on the floor.
He can't guard anyone in the Celtics frontcourt.
Barbosa may need to start.
jet why pull up ??? he made it thankfully
Huh? Jet pull up is his shot, why wouldn't you want him doing it?
This is one of our most important games of the season!!?
Grit and balls, anyone?Hell yeah!
Toronto really need to dump Bargnani. Trade him. Get him outta there.

Why some here have called for Danny to trade for him just perplexes me. I don't like any part of his game.

I love when KG gets on the block.
i wasn't able to watch many games earlier this year but have watched the last 4-5.
question: i understand rotations and such; understand logjams; but why wasn't barbosa playing earlier in the year.
he seems like such a spark plug.

I wonder after a while will Doc seem to figure out that at the end of games you don't have to run the PP iso all the time.What did Doc draw up here? PP iso?

that's fine. but are you saying he should only sniff the floor if he can hit the 3?
seems he's bringing much more than that. again, i write this having not watched most of the first half of the season.

Green had some key plays in the end, though he didn't do well offensively, little things makes a difference. But KG is THE MAN, build this guy a Statue in Beantown
Good game, Celtics becoming contenders right before our eyes
Toronto is legit
Ballgame. we ain't winning jack tonight.

Didn't see much of the game (1st qtr/last 5min of 4th qtr) but I wasn't too impressed with what I did see. A win is a win I guess.
Back to B's game now.
Barbosa was great in the 4th.

KG just wants to hit his 25000th point against the Lakers
Well Rudy Gay gave good reason why DA was could to any offers. Even with Paul being way off the the mark, there s no need for and 8/24 volume shooter (1/7 downtown) who only scored 1 more point than shots taken.
Nice win. Seems like it's always a tough game in Toronto. Raptors took advantage of KG getting his 4th foul. Outside of that the C's outplayed them.
Man the C's really need a rim protector.
KG has been so clutch for us over the years. Anyone who says he isn't clutch offensively and defensively has not watched KG since he has been on the Celtics.
I can't speak of Minny since I didn't watch him every second there but since he's come here he has been extremely clutch.
Re-check completed. 1 more board the P-Dub. And more turnovers. And 24 shots to get 25 points. All for a more than beneficent contract for however many years.Well Rudy Gay gave good reason why DA was could to any offers.

Hard to do that though with PP and Ray Allen

Cs versus GS last year. It was in all of the commercials. Or how about the alley-oop against Philly during the regular season last year. Just to name two.

I guess it's more that people say that he is "un-clutch" or shrinks in the moment which is just laughable. He hit a huge clutch shot tonight (actually a bunch) who cares if it was with 20 seconds or 30 seconds left? I don't even know how much time was left cause it's such a stupid thing to even look at.
How many has he hit? How many has he missed? How often was his name called? What qualifies as a game winner? Is it the go-ahead shot? Or does it need to be the shot to go ahead and then then other team misses?
We also had Pierce and Ray taking less than 20 seconds on the clock shots as well which no one can really fault Garnett for.
But as others have mentioned before, things like leading the team in 4th quarter scoring during the playoffs of the title run in 08. Just like tonight 13 points in the 4th quarter.....cluuuuuutchhhhh
Well here is a list excluding the last few years of game winning baskets.
http://www.82games.com/gamewinningshots.htm
So you can at least point to those (and a fer more since)
Please don't point to the FG% unless you want to include Kobe and Wade in the None clutchness category.
Also my favorite part of that list....Pierce 1st in game winning assists.
Also my favorite part of that list....Pierce 1st in game winning assists.

First out of players who have hit 4 or more game winners in said time range.
If someone got 10 assists but no game winning shots, he wouldn't be in the list.

KG is definitely clutch! Don't get me wrong! Those consecutive threes years ago in Minny will go down in the books forever!
I just want him to shoot a game winner when we're down by 1 with five seconds to go. Pierce always gets it, I wanna see KG! He can shoot over every player in the league and is deadly from any spot in the three-point line. Give him a chance! Just once when he's in green!

To be objective...
That was a set play, very high percentage, and designated.
I was kind of referring to just him isoing and making a clutch jumper..
I guess that counts too! Never saw it before! ;D
