Rockets (37-37) at Celtics (47-27) 4/2

[jdpapa3]

anyone else tired of watching the entire boston bench jack up long jumpers? tired of davis throwing up bricks from 15 feet.

a promising start and a not so promising ending to this quarter

Don't know how, but Davis has gone from a 41% shooter from 16-23 feet to a 28% shooter from there.

Horrible defensive rebounding this game.

[snively]

I don't understand why Nate doesn't do much but shoot 3s for us.  I always thought of him as more of a slasher with NY.

And Lowry's a 27% 3pt shooter.

Second chance points, huge weakness. Good luck in the playoffs C's.

this second unit is getting torched. keep with it doc...soon we will be down 10 plus

If our team had the resiliency of this Rockets squad or the poor undermanned Nets, they'd be one of the best teams the NBA has ever seen. 

or Portland...they are doing a great job with a very depleted roster.

my biggest worry. how many second chance points has verajo got vs boston this season? his hustle alone cost boston the game in cleveland and blew the game open last time in boston...

as for tonight..very frustrating to see undermanned teams outwork boston in boston

[Thruthelookingglass]

Who is that guy in the low post for the C's?

Back to back bad calls in our favor, imo.

Was kind of expecting for the refs to make a statement to us for KG's words, but it doesn't look that way.

[CelticSooner]

The Rockets are on pace to score over 100. 

[bello_man09]

get the freaking ball..

[celticinorlando]

we are such a jump shooting team that when they dont drop...we dont win....add that to the lack of rebounding period and we have this year's celtics....


where the heck is the freakin defense?? i mean the rockets are getting everything they want and then the board...

[RMO]

get the freaking ball..

What coaches call the 50/50 plays.  Celtics haven't been getting them all year.

Yup.....those were bad calls that went in our favour. I hope they call it evenly.

Doc kind of showed where the team's head's at with how early he yanked Garnett. Primary objective at this point is to keep minutes down: not win games.

Edit: brought the big guns back in quicker than I thought. Maybe he wanted to get the mixed rotations going to provide some familiarity.

Doesn't help that the only unit that has been worthwhile for the team this year is the starting unit. We actually have the best statistically performing starting unit in the league.

50/50 balls go the other way about 75 percent of the time this season.
