Dahntay Jones would be a nice guy to pickup next year or the year after. Whenever his contract expires. He'd be a nice 4th or 5th wing in the depth chart.
C's lead but not seeing the defense I like.
Yeah, I think it was the Championship season.Dahntay Jones would be a nice guy to pickup next year or the year after. Whenever his contract expires. He'd be a nice 4th or 5th wing in the depth chart.
Wasn't he a Celtic years ago? Maybe preseason??

07-08 preseason, in Europe. Interestingly enough, he's in that picture of the C's in front of the coliseum in Rome that's still in Doc's office. Brandon Wallace made the team over him.
Remember when everyone thought Vince Carter was better than Pierce?T-mac was better. It's just that his body is made of glass.
McGrady too?

Lee is constantly missing shots that every NBA guard should be able to make... it's getting frustrating, does he practice his shooting at all?? ::)
What did Barbosa do to upset Rivers?I like having Courtney Lee out there to defend OJ Mayo.
Lee already missed 2 open 3s, the Jet is 0-4.
common Doc, unleash him.

Barbosa is low risk high reward, he deserves a few minutes, he will not lose the game, but may score a bunch.What did Barbosa do to upset Rivers?I like having Courtney Lee out there to defend OJ Mayo.

Bloody hell. What was Jeff Green doing there. Holding the ball for ages with the shot clock winding down 25 feet from the basket.
Box score looks pretty even to me (no TV where I'm at right now),and we almost had a pair of 30 point quarters.They've had Dallas on the ropes several times but didn't finish them off. Let them get back into the game and now it's close game midway in the fourth. Celtics making life hard on themselves tonight.
What's the eye test saying?
This should not be a game right now.
+/- differential
Rondo - 3
Garnett +9
This team is nothing without Garnett.
WRONG!!! Absolutely absurd statement.+/- differential
Rondo - 3
Garnett +9
This team is nothing without Garnett.
KG is still in the NBA because of and only because of Rondo.

Oh please. I can't bring up endless boxscores where Rondo has a better +/- than KG. KG is still in the NBA because of and only because of Rondo.

They have been the superior side but a hot shooting spell from Dallas or a bad few minutes Boston could end up costing them the win.
Dallas is playing this lineup
C: Shawn Marion
PF: Vince Carter
SF: OJ Mayo
SG: Derek Fisher
PG: Darren Collison
Crazy lineup ...

Post up KG or Pierce every time. Neither Marion or Fisher can defend their check.
Oh great full-court driving layup from Darren Collison. So much speed and aggressiveness.
Big shot by Rondo to break Dallas' momentum ... and Fisher gives it right back to Dallas.
Man, that guy hits a lot of clutch long jump shots.
I am disappointed with OJ Mayo tonight. I expected him to shoulder a larger load as a shot creator / playmaker.
A lot of plays for Dallas where limited offensive creators are being forced to do too much.
I don't like these replays. I'd rather live with a few bad calls than have all this time-wasting.
Pierce caught that ball too far out.Agreed, he needed the ball closer in against the bigger defender in D.Jones.
It's Joey Crawford. Not surprised...
It's Joey Crawford. Not surprised...
how can they watch all of those replays clearly showing the ball go out off Marion and then give it to Dallas? That's criminal.
why do they insist on drawin up game winners for Rondo he aint bout dat life yet smh

Exactly. Perfect example of why people can't say Rondo is better than Chris Paul. Rondo needs to learn how to make clutch jumpshots, much less getting a good attempt

Doc seems to draw up good out of timeout plays except when they're in the closing minutes of the 4th.
Terrible place to give Pierce the ball against D.Jones once again.
Pierce needs the ball deeper. In that 12 to 16 foot range.
KG has about 5 inches on Marion yet no low post play.
Why won't Doc let Terry shoot? Cause he ain't hitting?Yeah, it feels like Terry has barely been involved offensively down the stretch.
Nice matchup between two mediocre teams, one without its best playerThe Celtics without Bradley? ;D :P
I don't understand this game.
I hear complaining about the refs and the celts have taken 11 more free throws

That may be, but there have been 2 awful non-calls.
Wow, what a game. Not the prettiest but probably the most intense. Crazy that a 117-115 game feels like a defensive struggle, but for much of the game it was. Playoff intensity game there.

I think our defense was actually better than average tonight.
When was the last time we hit a game winner? Every time we have a chance to win the game i know we will either lose or go to overtime. It happens every time. That game drove me nuts.

I guess with Ray Allen?
By the way, was something wrong with Wilcox? I thought he played pretty well but didn't play much in the 2nd half.
I cant complain about this win.
Great stuff to shoot almost 10% less than the opponent and still get the W.
Hard work prevailed tonight.

Wilcox only plays when KG isn't on the floor lately, Doc used KG for almost the entire fourth quarter. Went with Green/Bass for the little break KG got, probably didn't like Wilcox's D on Wright over Greens I guess?

I think it's pretty pathetic to take two overtimes to beat a team that committed nearly 30 turnovers.I didn't like how the C's froze up their offense when they went:
Not to mention that with Fisher clutching, holding, grabbing and pushing that wasn't getting called that Pierce was having very little success against Fisher.I think it's pretty pathetic to take two overtimes to beat a team that committed nearly 30 turnovers.I didn't like how the C's froze up their offense when they went:

I completely get taking advantage of mis-matches but you can't let it stagnate all ball movement and other options.

Agree, its like only Rondo and PP were on the court, RR takes the ball up, switch defenders and give the ball to PP. How many times can you run this play? you got 3 other guys on court.

KG had Marion guarding him, and that mismatch was ignored.
A win is a win, but that was a bad one.I hate the "14 point lead", we had that lead for one whole possesion. They closed the gap in a 2 minute sequence to get it down to around 5 or 6 where it was for most of the second half.
Marion at Center. Derek Fisher, Oj Mayo, Deron Collison, and Vince Carter in a 4 guard lineup. Then Dahntay Jones.
And we couldn't stop anyone. Marion is solid and I like OJ, but the rest of those guys aren't that good honestly.
We should have blown that lineup away. Instead we give up a 14 point lead and survive a double OT.
Hated what I saw last night, but thankfully we won.

You still had it... Against a team we should have had it on. They were without Dirk and were playing Marion at Center with scrubs in Fisher and Jones.They had 30 TOs. If we don't play matador defense we could have won that game by 20+.
People seem to forget that the reason, the Mavs had so many turnovers was that we were playing trap defense with KG the whole night. It worked pretty well, but also left some open shots for the Mavs, which they hit. Also they hit some not so open shots.

Near the end of the game all I saw was a layup line. But I will say the team looked exhausted. Hopefully guys are still getting into shape like last year.

Mayo had an easier time getting past Rondo after Rajon got his 5th foul, that didn't help our defense.
Rondo's defense was a little suspect he kept trying to body him too much way past the 3pt line and Mayo kept blowing by him at easePeople seem to forget that the reason, the Mavs had so many turnovers was that we were playing trap defense with KG the whole night.

yea im talking just toward the end, he did keep him in check for most of the game. i just wish toward the end he didn't body him way out past the three blew by him more than a couple times but Rondo still had a key stop lateRondo's defense was a little suspect he kept trying to body him too much way past the 3pt line and Mayo kept blowing by him at easePeople seem to forget that the reason, the Mavs had so many turnovers was that we were playing trap defense with KG the whole night.

When you say "kept blowing by him at ease" you're talking about a few plays in a double overtime game. How many times do you think that happened during the game?
