Celtics (46-12) at Clippers (14-43) 2/25

[Fafnir]

Who else has seen way to much of Baron Davis drilling stuff in the C's faces over the last 2 years?

Perk showing his passing ability.

Bad time management by Pierce on the earlier possession, though.

When he took the early 3? Why is that bad management? There were 48 seconds left in the half when that possession began. They wanted a two for one. Clippers did the same thing. It would have worked but Rajon got a cherry pick layup too quickly.

how do I go about getting myself on the new star thread?

You have to fill out the appropriate paperwork, include a self addressed stamped envelopeand send that off to the Celticsblog offices , wait for the authentication code to arrive via US postal service, use the code to then activate your new star, then fill out the paperwork to be considered for the thread. It's a long process but worth the trouble.

Congratulations, TP

Is R2 in some sort of pre-Starbury funk?  Because he hasn't seemed like his previously dominant self today.

I doubt it has anything to do with marbury, but without him playing good, we're 4 pts better than the pathetic clippers

He didn't dominate Deron or CP3 to a huge extent. Baron is a tougher match up for him than Nash or Billups.

I like what I have seen from Moore so far.  Kudos.

For anyone who hasn't seen it here's a video of one of Zach Randolph's best plays, pure skill.

hmmm, disagree, Billups is suppose to be one of rondos biggest nightmares and is a better defender than Baron, who can not guard RR
Baron might just be the worst PG rondo has seen on this trip...cp3, kidd, deron, nash, billups..all better
it really has nothing to do with davis, rondo is just asleep

Agreed... Rondo just isn't playing his best and it has nothing to do with Marbury. It's the end of a long, demanding road trip. I'm sure he's just a little tired.

Let's wake up and mash this team into the ground already. Playing with them won't be smart in the long run.

Baron is quicker than Billups, so he matches up better with Rondo. His defensive failings are mental, he seems reasonably attentive tonight.

Baron is the worst PG on this trip, but that is largely because he's been shooting an awful percentage this year.

hahaha I've never seen that... TP!

EDIT: never mind I'm over my limit... but I promise you one in an hour.
EDIT[2]: The Tommy Point has gone through... just so you won't be losing sleep over it.

Let's get the rookies some minutes so we can see some highlight dunks.

I think he is playing the same way as in recent games. I also think though that Rajon's play and the results so far has less to do with Baron's defense and more to do with the terrible spacing. That is also why the Clips are easily getting their hands in passing lanes and causing turnovers. It's probably a product of working Mikki into the lineup. He was out there for much longer than I would have thought.

rondo is NOT playing like he has been in recent games, he has 1 assist at halftime and looks asleep, thats pretty much the opposite of how hes been playing- hes been the best player on the floor for most of this road trip, and I think Mikki was out there mostly with House, no? I dont think it has much to do with him, they looked just as bad without him on the court
