Celtics (6-1) at Mavericks (3-2) 11/8

Not a fun start to this one.

3-16 wow.....

And 7 offensive boards, with almost no points at all to show for it.

We can't buy a basket. Good d by the mavs so far. They are not leaving anyone open on the perimeter. The C's should go to Pierce, he's got the advantage.

[Kiorrik]

We'll get better but so far, I'd say this ends up in us losing by double digits

Let's hope they pull it together, they look nervous, jittery.

Old guys.  Its tough to play back to backs.

I don't think it's an energy issue, the energy is there.

For the first quarter, I'd be more worried about it later on in the game.

Right now there is hustle, but sloppiness.

Stevenson and Tyson with 10 of Dallas' 18 points.

Dallas are getting some lucky scoring out of those two.

Unlikely to hold up as the game progresses ... Boston look the stronger side.

[snively]

Rondo should go under on the Kidd pick and rolls.  Kidd's a poor pull-up shooter.

Please don't ask for that. Illegal stuff isn't allowed here on CB. Cheers.

Interesting to see we´re the team against which Dirk has his highest career ppg at 27.5

[Who]

Keep a lid on J.Terry and C.Butler ... and as the game progresses Dallas will become overly dependent on Dirk Nowitzki to create their offense.

Big few minutes here ... can't let Terry get off. Need to keep him quiet.

They've done a good job on Caron Butler so far.

[Who]

Keep posting up Barea with Rondo

Ugly first quarter and not a great way to end it

[Fafnir]

Ugh buzzer beating 3....
