Besides a few players the Nets basically have a D-league roster. It's crazy.Well yeah, but if he's an all-star then 15+ teams also missed on him not just the Celtics.
The Marshon Brooks thing scares me. Me and my friends were all watching the draft together and got very excited when they took him. There was someone in the crowd that had a sign that said "Marshon Brooks = The Next Kobe Bryant" and we were just talking about that today looking at how well Brooks has played. REALLY hope we don't regret that one down the line. Not that we needed another SG but if he ends up being an All-Star you had to take him regardless.
Wow, that is one sad lineup for the Nets. Even with Lopez and Humphries they're not a great team, but without them they're D-Will and a bunch of scrubs, essentially.it would let alone be embarrassing if Doc even thinks of zoning them
Really pathetic if the C's lose to this team.
According to a tweet it sounds like Deron is out tonight as well, time to see Marshon Brooks up close and personally.http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/celtics/post/_/id/4688038/williams-humphrey-out-vs-celtics
lets get a nice big win and then 4 days off.2 big wins, we've got Indiana on Friday and then 4 days off.

QuoteBesides a few players the Nets basically have a D-league roster. It's crazy.
Yup. And is DWill playing? I heard he wasn't or is it a game time decision?
So what's the over-under on Stiemer's minutes tonight?
Put me down for 14.

I'd like to see JaJuan Johnson get a good run out tonight.
Excited to see more of him. He looks a very interesting prospect.
Here's hoping that Boston puts this away early.
A dream scenario for me is an early blowout, then watching Avery Bradley frustrate the upstart MarShon..give him an introduction to NBA-Level Defense.
Then again - if AB is not on his game, this fellow COULD give AB a lesson on NBA-level offense.
Here's hoping for the former.

Ray Allen is also out tonight.
I'd like to see JaJuan Johnson get a good run out tonight.
Excited to see more of him. He looks a very interesting prospect.
Me too, I'm waiting to see if he slows it down once he gets more comfortable. I'm hoping nerves are the reason he's been running around like a chicken with his head cut off haha.
He can clearly play so let's hope he gets some minutes and settles down.
So... who's playing? Are we playing against the Nets still? :pNo Deron, Lopez or HumphriesQuoteBesides a few players the Nets basically have a D-league roster. It's crazy.
Yup. And is DWill playing? I heard he wasn't or is it a game time decision?

Defense to offense, that's how we play. The captain looking great.That sounds like the game I'm watching :) TP!

Great defensive play by JO right there...Yeah, great quickness on that recovery to block the shot. Looked like an easy layup.
Holy airballs Batman...Tony Battie is playing?
When will Rondo's turnovers officially become a concern?
When they lose us games.When will Rondo's turnovers officially become a concern?
When they become a problem in a game that matters.

Right, so until we play a game that matters, we should abstain from all sorts of judgement on the team? Meh.
"I'm not sure what Rondo just did but . . . most players can't do that."
"I'm not sure what Rondo just did but . . . most players can't do that."
This will sound ridiculous, but I think we need to get Stiemsma more involved in the offense (or JO).Even if it's just in-and-out passing.
31 turnovers through 6 1/4 games? It's not that he's had several bad games, every game has been bad from a TO point of view.Right, so until we play a game that matters, we should abstain from all sorts of judgement on the team? Meh.
After 6 games? I plan on abstaining from many forms of complaining for a while.
Can we put to bed this notion Brooks wouldn't be playing on this team? If Doc is playing Avery this much, he'd have to recognize what Brooks can bring to the table.You mean he would have played 10 ppg with us? Yes, this sounds about right.
I'm going out to buy some food. When I get back, I expect to see a 10 point lead.
Brb.
What kind of first half was that?
That was putrid!
(and Patriotesque)
I'm concerned that the ghosts of Celtics past could haunt us tonight....hope we don't let these guys stick around.
We have been beaten by these guys before - remember 09-10 when they were like 9-50? That was a tough loss - on our home floor, too.
Don't let these guys hang around, C's!
What kind of first half was that?
That was putrid!
(and Patriotesque)
Without either Pierce or Ray playing, the Celtics have looked like the reverse Patriots. Decent to good on defense, but they can't shoot into an Olympic sized pool.
Please either cut Avery Bradley or send him to the d-league.

They haven't look good on defense. The Nets have 2 offensive players seeing major minutes: Okur and Brooks. Brooks got whatever he wanted and Okur missed a bunch of open looks.
Plus, 7 pts from our bench tonight, and only 2 from Dooling in Allen's starting spot. I feel bad for Quis, cause I know he has it in him to be a decent scorer, but he just can't get anything to drop the last few games. Hopefully he can play through it and not tank mentally, because we really do need him.
Has JO successfully taken a charge all season?
it frustrates me so much how the celtics play so poorly against the bottom feeders of the league...and then beat good teams..
Has JO successfully taken a charge all season?
I'm ok with him not taking charges if it means fewer injuries.
Bass---he really is automatic. He's a 6'8" vinny johnson.
At least the Pacers are getting embarrassed by the Heat and the Knicks are losing to the Bobcats.
BASSNice non-biased nickname ;)
the
THUMPER!!
Not sure why Rondo isn't taking it to the hoop--no real shot blockers in all game.
Now this is more like it; credit to bass for bringing some scoring and alot of energy. Exactly what we needed.Where are you? Denmark? Belgium? What the hell are you and our other Eurobloggers gonna do on back-to-backs on the West Coast?
bass is making ainge look really smart. nice shooting and great hustle.
now if rondo could just make some shots and free throws....
Biggest disappointment for me so far tonight...Rondo's a terrible shooter againhe hasn't been there that much. 0-3. yeah not great, but he hasn't taken a ton of shots. And he's 2-5 from the floor.
If Vinny was The Microwave, Bass is The Toaster Oven.
And Big Gravy Davis is The Toaster Strudel.
Rondo now shooting 59 percent from the line. ::)ha! well, 0% tonight, but again, he's only taken 3.
Kg is 4/5 from the field and he made his free throws so ehm can someone tell me why he isn't shooting it pretty much every time. I know he's not on the floor right now but still...
Bradley's defense is awesome.One of the great things about his D is he remembers to put his left hand up on right handed shooters and vice versa. Most guys just try to use their athleticism instead of fundamentals.
bahahah
Bradley hits a 3 and Tommy says "I'm so happy for that kid."
Says a lot.
Btw when was the last time we had two players with 10+ rebounds?The same year the Patriots had two players with 10+ sacks.

The Nets have scored 16 points this half. There's 7 minutes left in the fourth.
I agree and I think Doc is an idiot for the way he treats rookies.
Good lord, how many players with the last name Williams are in the NBA?
It's the third most common last name in the U.S. behind Smith and Johnson.

So uh . . . that Brandon Bass trade was pretty good, huh?I'm guessing so lol.
Danny Ainge is a good GM.
Well, Avery can score against scrubs.
He was a top 10 pick in '02. Scal had a better career with the Nets.I have nothing against him really, I like his toughness, but seriously, his career has been very underwhelming for a 1st round pick.

To be fair, they gave the Heat trouble too.

4 straight wins. The panic button can be put away for now. ;Dsorry to be that guy, but I'll keep the button handy until we beat someone with more than 1 win. we are 4-0 against teams with a combined record of 3-14.
great game. of the regular starters only rondo played over 30 minutes. garnett only played 26, and without ray. :)
For Orlando, the type of deal that gets GM's fired. Lock up Bass now.....
Tonight
Big Baby: 4 points, 4 rebounds.
Brandon Bass: 15 points, 13 rebounds.
I think we won.

Wow, and I was really skeptical when the trade first went down, because I really didn't pay that much attention to Brandon's game. But it looks like so far that, the skepticism wasn't justified.
