Bass will have his hands full with Faried who has earned the nickname "Manimal." Faried plays with an abundance of energy and is a beast on the boards. He averages 12.2 points and 9.7 boards a game and slowing him down will be key for the Celtics.
Rebound - Since much of rebounding is effort and desire, the effort that the Celtics show on the boards usually indicates how much the team really wants the game. The Nuggets are a big team and are a very good rebounding team, ranking 2nd in the league with 45.4 rebounds per game and 1st in offensive rebounds with 13.8 per game. The Celtics are 2nd to last, pulling down only 39.7 rebounds per game. The Celtics have got to make an effort to crash the boards as a team.
Someone needs to dig the truth out of the snow first!

Faried's quickness and rebounding prowess against Bass' slow reactions, lack of focus boxing out and weaknesses pursuing loose balls is ... terrifying.Rebound - Since much of rebounding is effort and desire, the effort that the Celtics show on the boards usually indicates how much the team really wants the game.

The rebounding battle is going to be extremely difficult against this Denver team.
Nuggets are 4th best in rebounding differential. Multiple rebounding big men against Boston's lack of rebounding bigs. Multiple rebounding wings against Boston's undersized off guards / combo guards. Several problem areas.

If we can keep them in front of us and turn this into a slow grind it out ugly game I like our chances
well we'll do it together if we somewhat contained LeBron and even Melo with effort should be able to contain himI don't care about numbers I just wanna see some nasty-in Pop voice(http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.e1d/img/4.0/global/basketball/nba/players/3959.jpg) vs (http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.e1d/img/4.0/global/basketball/nba/players/4904.jpg)Brandon Bass vs Kenneth Faried

Keeping Ty Lawson in front of you is easier said than done unfortunately. :-[
Extremely difficult game! Denver was a nightmare matchup for Boston anyway, now that they're on a big winning streak they look invincible. I hope that, if we lose this one (which is quite possible), we won't start the "blow it up" talk all over again, most teams in the NBA would lose to the Nuggets right now...

This game is being played as scheduled, correct???
One thing to ponder: Will Andre Iguodala play with fire today?
The Celtics (defeating the 76ers in game 7) indirectly led to the organization saying "We can't win" and so they ultimately decided it was OK for Iggy to go... will he blame us and play harder than ever?

Celtics recall Fab Melo from Maine Red Claws
He's up, he's down, he's back up again.
Hours before they face the Denver Nuggets at TD Garden Sunday, the Celtics recalled rookie center Fab Melo from their NBDL team, the Maine Red Claws.
Melo played one game with Maine during his most recent assignment, and he had 6 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist in about 23 minutes against the Bakersfield Jam Friday.
Melo is averaging 11.0 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.45 blocks in 27.4 minutes per game in his 20 contests with Maine this season.
The former Syracuse player has played in two games for the Celtics this season, earning a total of 2 points, a steal and a block in eight minutes of action.
this will be a big game. Lookin forward to it. Gotta play full 4!
Wow, game starts in under half an hour... sooo early. I won't have to stay up late watching!I'll stay awake up till about 3 am, get up in 6 am and do a 24 hour shift :)
Let's keep those TOs low.
Over/under Faried 15.5 rebounds.
Beatin em at their own game :)
if we win tonight, i hope people realize this team is for real. A championship is not only a dream but a real possibility
I'm excited but their bench is powerful. Not going to count my eggs...Melo....LOL
code name = Olem...!I'm excited but their bench is powerful. Not going to count my eggs...Melo....LOL
Is it just me, or has McGee gone over the back on a couple of those boards?
if they'd boxed out better they could have drawn the call though.Is it just me, or has McGee gone over the back on a couple of those boards?
Almost. But he just out-jumped our guys there without touching them or pushing off
C's are playing so well right now. The bench looks so comfortable.
I'm very pleased.
when Jason Terry shot the three in, i said BOOOM!
The pickup has been worth it
Doc should've stayed big...i thought you were the CHIEF for a minute there..LOL

me either. plenty here wanted him gone and could not see doc was using him and plenty others WRONG.
i HATE when guys don't bounce pass into the post...too easy to pick off otherwise...!
Ya man..firm, waist high...right into the hands...it is a LOT of work to get post position..!!!i HATE when guys don't bounce pass into the post...too easy to pick off otherwise...!
First thing I teach: bounce pass.
Look Bass, KG looks like a man in the post.that is what i do not like about Bass...no post game...hardly any rebounds....too bad because he can dunk like a man...!
Over/under Faried 15.5 rebounds.
I would so love to know what KG is saying when he makes plays like that.

Doubt you'd need a seasoned lip-reader for that.
So did the Sully injury help us as well?
defensive three second is such a dumb call
*KG blocks shot*
"GET THAT SH** OUT OF HERE!"
haha KG! calling the white dude the N word!Nahhh....
and Bass has the rebounders body...shoulders like Karl Malone....
*KG blocks shot*
"GET THAT SH** OUT OF HERE!"
Ugh! Dumb foul by Bass
*KG blocks shot*
"GET THAT SH** OUT OF HERE!"
I think he may have tacked one more word onto the end of that.
So did the Sully injury help us as well?
Ya...that rebounder changes everything....nd he started scoring on them also....So did the Sully injury help us as well?
he'd be a huge upgrade over Bass
i realized today i HATE miami more than the lakers....!

Lee gets hurt, Bass gets hurt, Green gets hurt. WE cannot afford ANY injuries.
Adre Miller very honest.
I feel like we are winning by more
Doc, going small with Bass at the 5 = idiotic.

After the way we just played?
Surprised we are leading. We should be down 15
man i really wish we had a better starting big next to KG than freakin brandon bass. We could be a contender with a better starting big. Bass should be a 3rd or 4th string big... that's what we brought him here to be. Such a bummer.

What game are you watching?

Starting to think doc does these things to p*** off the celticsblog.

Adre Miller very honest.
Always liked him.
Wasn't he supposed to be a Celtic back in the day. We traded Andrew De Clerq and a #1pick to Cleveland for Vitaly.......the pick turned out to be Miller (I think)
Surprised we are leading. We should be down 15
well Denver did commit some turnovers in the beginning of the 1st quarter
Always smart, in control, and can do most things well or well enough.

i just HEARDkg say the N word...bass must have heard us saying he needs to rebound...like it...
All starts with a shot blocker.
Got to get someone else to backup KG.
What outa here, KG?
what did kg say to Faried after blocking his shot? lol
hopefully the league doesn't review it. Man it was loud
Great quarter so far. ;D KG Lol.
What outa here, KG?
Made me laugh my ass off.
What outa here, KG?

i did too. But man i like this kid Faried. He is like a KG lite/jr the way he plays on the court. Danny should of drafted him last year
this looks like Bass bash thread, why all the hate, he plays his role, just needs a little bit more time to figure things out and start felling comfortable

Bass is a decent player -- I think most (not all) would agree. He's just got too big a role on this team. Should be energy and 15-footers off the bench.

Wilcox not doing his 72% FG percentage any favors.
doc will play kg into his grave.....

I'm not sure why Jeff Green puts up that hook, I feel like I've seen him make it one time all season. When he gets the ball in the post would love to see him rip through, face up take one bounce then go.
Shot blocking. Should have kept Steamer.
Come on KG, stop shooting the [dang] ball.
Shot blocking. Should have kept Steamer.
god McGee is blocking freaking everything
How was that not a foul.
Bass = weak link.
Want to see that last Green ISO again.Why? Green is absolutely awful in the post.
Bass = weak link.
what happened to Jeff Green?
I can't believe I'm saying this; Doc get Green in for Bass and go small.
Why do the refs need headphone to watch a replay?
Ball Don't Lie !!!!I read that in Sheed's voice.
That KG jumper has been off all night. Couple of those go in and the C's aren't in this situation.

Clearly off Denver.
If they hang on, really great win.
Denver is really good -- though they did play last night in Denver and lost Iggy.

Blame me. Never should have said above.
Anyone know what our record is in OT this season? Feels like we've not done so well.
This night I can say with 100% confidence the refs cost us the game if we lose. Terrible. awful. stupid call.Make them 2 along with that Chicago game... refs doing their thing... ::)
Very scared
If they reverse this, holy balls
That clearly went off Green. I bet the refs get this one right. idiots.
Make up call?
KG!!!!!!!!
Doc needs to take the fine and complain about the refs this game.
This shouldn't even be a 2OT game right now.
Triple OT. Doc sits KG and PP tomorrow for sure.
KG. Amazing.
I know KG and Paul are gonna pass out after this game.Me too.
You don't trade KG!!!
You don't trade KG!!!

Count it! 7 in a row!! Huge plays across the board, from Pierce to KG to Jet to Green. Between this and the Laker game, this is getting to be pretty fun :D
Heart stopped!
