cool FL, I got to be the first person to give you a TP on the last game of 2013 and I get to be the first one to give you a TP on the first game of 2014. superlative job on the write-up as always!
Ah Bold Predictions! Green eats Deng for breakfast on both ends of the Court. Humphries logs his 1st double double of the season, and Pressey leads the bench in scoring 18 points.I think you could be right about Green and Hump. Green may be looking to heat it up after the last game and Hump looked good last game.
pressy really plays well out there knows how to run the team..watching Crawford is a nightmare sometimes when he is on he's on fire but when he is off geeez!!! :-X :-\.. I say we win by 6.....Hump has 17 and 11...i hope coach plays pressey longer, but i guess he don't wanna add crawford to the player in our pouting list.lol
Another win-win/lose-lose game for the celtics! If the celtics win, we enjoy the victory, but it pushes the celtics into the dreaded "nuked by Indiana as the 8th seed" territory.pressy really plays well out there knows how to run the team..watching Crawford is a nightmare sometimes when he is on he's on fire but when he is off geeez!!! :-X :-\..

If the celtics lose, sad day for losing, but a lottery victory since Chicago is a rival for the "watch us get swept" 8th seed in the draft position. ;D
In either case, goooooo celtics!!!
Who is this with Mike Gorman?
No pass Bass ;D
You can tell Sully's hand is really bothering his game...
I love Cornbread!
No pass Bass ;D
Jeff Green and I are so tired of it.
From a tanking perspective, this would be a fantastic game to lose
Taj looks relieved that Sully is sitting.
Great sequence for Avery with a sky rebound, a steal and a big assist to Sully.
We have an actual point guard come in and what do you know, we look like we have a real offense and guys start getting easy shots.
I love Hump
Gerald Wallace 4 pt play??
Are we sure Hump isn't as good as Asik?
The dreaded no pg line up just to get Lee the minutes he wants.
The Celtics are really deep with above average talent.

Too bad it is all at two positions.
More KO........please
I got the Bulls feed.If you have League Pass Broadband, you should have an option for the bulls or celtics feed.
Actually really enjoy a different perspective on Celtics players.
Their announcers absolutely raving about President Brad Stevens.
Bass hand :'(
It's been a while since Sully made a 3.
What do you do with Bass?
Any reason that anyone knows of why no KO tonight (I think 3 minutes in first quarter and nothing since)?

Vitors rusty, Dunleavy > our whole bench, time to wrap this one up and claim our ticket out of the playoffs.

We play dis bad next three weeks and we just punched our lottery ticket
KO totally in doghouse. Not sure why. ???
Way to build up confidence after best game of his young NBA career.

Not sure why Stevens played Vitor over him... oh well not like it would have factored much differently either way

I thought this was a rebuilding year. Not sure why Bass or any other big not named Sully, plays in front of KO
Watching KO and Sully grow is the only reason I tune in this season.
Gotta keep showcasing the vets for another 1.5 months. Lots of trade action happening. Can't bench guys like Bass and Lee yet. Probably want to boost Humph's value beyond just being an expiring contract too.KO totally in doghouse. Not sure why. ???

Awesome news is that from a tanking perspective... this was a key game to lose. Losing tonight gets us to flipflop with Chicago.
8th seed/#15 pick
No playoffs/Top 9 pick
Losing tonight gets us into the lotto and jumps our pick 5 spots. Huge.
Redeem yourself KO.
This injury may really help Sully in the long run... i'm impressed that he can play this well with one hand, if he had made some of those catches or could grip the ball a little better on some of his js he would have obviously done better. But having to play like this, imagine how good he'll feel once it's healedIf sully is injured, they should absolutely shut him down. Helps our lotto odds, gets minutes for the vets we are showcasing and gets more burn for Oly's development into the next White Mamba.
that what I say..press these guys..Chicago has no ball hANDLERS....
some old guy.....captain dust..!that what I say..press these guys..Chicago has no ball hANDLERS....
Who is spouting off all this basketball knowledge?
Did the second month-long hot streak of Bradley's career officially end?
Celtics really struggle when the other team has a decent big man. You just can't get away with starting two pfs if you want to win regularly in this league.
our inside bigs are good.....but with gunner Bradley and Crawford..they NEVER get the ball inside.....sully, green too....we got inside stuff with rebounding....
Don't despair, guys—Boston's now outside the playoff window, which, if the season ended today, would mean the lottery! ;D
Temporarily out of the playoffs and tied with the Lakers for the 9th/10th worst record in the league. Woo hoo! If we get thrashed by the Western conference, we might be in good draft position by the end of this month.

Sully, Hump, KO, Fav -yes
Bass- no

Old man Wallace. That's another thing DA has to do. Upgrade the backup sf.
Sully, Hump, KO, Fav -yes
Bass- no
KO should be getting a lot of post passes with hump following on the other side.....and WHO was covering Dunleavy the scrub..?
is this coach turning into doc rivers....benching KO after he showed how he can play the other night..when he actually gets a few passes..!!!

Lord I hope not......
So, I'm looking at the box scores as I missed the game.
KO only played 8 minutes, was he injured?
Wallace is nothing but an expensive wall ornament

Pretty sure it was in response to KOs awful defense... I would have liked to see more of him but this whole seasons one big experiment anyway. can't wait until we trade some of these pfs and sgs at the deadline

I was going to say. He had a career night and then 8 minutes the next game.
Wow. Weird.
well no one else seemed to be defending the paint with him out......everyone lost their man and they were scoring easy inside on us......4 minutes is not a good amount of time to judger I would say.....imagine if everyone got pulled by the same standard then..?is this coach turning into doc rivers....benching KO after he showed how he can play the other night..when he actually gets a few passes..!!!

Gibson played him like a toy for the 4 mins he was in to start. Like I said I would have liked to see more of him but it's not the most surprising thing in the world that he was benched
It's funny, because yesterday Nickagneta said:is this coach turning into doc rivers....benching KO after he showed how he can play the other night..when he actually gets a few passes..!!!

"You guys criticizing Doc Rivers and loving Brad Stevens will be the first guys calling for Stevens head after three losing seasons.
I said it now, January 1st 2014.
Book it. It will be happening in 2-3 years. You will all turn on him and being having similar complaints about Stevens.

It's been a day and it's already starting. Give it 3 years of subpar basketball. Not Brad's fault... team just lacks talent.

Not blaming Brad at all.......just hope he KO thing wasn't a Doc ish

This team was clicking for a while and not looking too bad and then something happened and instead of playing together like they were, now it seems everybody has his own agenda.I've said it before: The only one who is tanking is Danny Ainge, by having a roster like this and keeping Crawford is part of that.
I'm guessing these guys are feeling the pressure of being cut or traded and are playing for themselves and not the team. this game was sad, they could have mailed it in.
On another note, I would think seriously about retaining Humphries. not only do I think he likes it here, I think he's earned a shot. I know it's a long year and you have to see how things work out but the guy is a real good second team inside guy.
I have no idea what's up with not playing KO, something just ain't right.
the Bass/Green thing looks like it might have spilled over into this game and Crawford hasn't done one thing right since he was voted player of the week and that tells me a lot. all he is good for is dribbling us out of games!!!
