I say we exploit the Ray Allen Vince Carter matchup early cuz Vinsanity aint gonna wanna run thru all those screens nd chase Ray aroundAgreed -- Vince hates battling through screens. Ray can get a lot of joy against V.Carter.
I don't know... this game screams "trap" to me. We should win this -by all means- since Dallas has had a crappy start, we've had the rest and have our full line-up, where they go without their starting point.I know we all got a little "homer" in us but come on no more trap this or tired legs BS excuse it's time to go out there and win. I agree with Doc we are playing soft as hell and need to man up.
Yet, I don't feel comfortable, at all.
Is this going to be the "make it or break it" game? Are we going to play lousy and still win? Are we going to play decent and still lose?
I'd like a blowout, either way, so that we get a decent statement, so that we're either going to be out of excuses, or playing like champions. Obviously, I'll be cheering for the latter :p
It's time.
LET'S GO CELTICS!!!
agreed - no excuses tonight. there's nothing holding them back against a win tonight. if they lose, it'll provide some insight into whether this team has the talent to compete or if they have the heart to compete.I don't know... this game screams "trap" to me.

KG's defense on Dirk..
Looking forward to getting off work and watching this one at home. I agree with everybody. With the 4 days off, time to practice and Pietrus's debut, I think we need to win this one or my panic meter will go up +1. We have every reason we could to win this game.
Daniels update...via Sherrod Blakely twitter:
#Celtics M. Daniels at shoot-around. Questionable for #Mavs game.
#Celtics M. Daniels last player to leave shoot-around today. Clearly wants to play tonight vs Mavs.

Also, they played last night and had to travel... if they lose to us it doesn't say much but if we lose, it's not panic time but it will say we have A LOT of work to do (I'd also be sad and upset)!

Definitely not concerned about Daniels tonight.
I want to see Pietrus get plenty of floor time in his debut.

We should win this -by all means- since Dallas has had a crappy start, we've had the rest and have our full line-up, where they go without their starting point.You can only call games "trap" if your team is the strong favorite to win. And given the Celtics current showing, I don't think they should have any "trap" games this season at all.
Sometimes team show rust after an extended break. It would not surprise me to see the Mavs win the first quarter or perhaps the first half, then the C's to blow them away in the 2nd half when the Mavs get winded.Looking forward to getting off work and watching this one at home.

Let's also not forget that our last game was awful! We should have something to prove after that stinker!!!
Go Celtics!!!!
This is a big game for Mavs and Celtics to get a win against a good team. Celtics need to come out strong and play 48 minutes of basketball to win this game.
TP. Awesome points. I agree 1000%.This is a big game for Mavs and Celtics to get a win against a good team. Celtics need to come out strong and play 48 minutes of basketball to win this game.
I would actually like for this game to be a close game until the fourth where we pull away, I think if we were to get up big too early we would fall asleep and think it's a W, then the Mavs catch a second wind (their bench) and the hack away and beat us in a comeback! I would be okay if I thought we would get a big lead and hold onto it but they haven't shown me (this nor last season) that they can hold onto a big lead in "big" games! I'll definitely take a blowout W but I'd rather see a focused 5pt win where we show measurable improvement!
I agree with most of that, 'cept for the "rather see a focused 5pt win" bit. I'd still rather see a huge blowout, mainly because I think we haven't seen that much in the past 2 seasons. A blowout would at least confirm that we're definitely still contending for a title. What I loved most about the 07/08 season, was that we had the occasional blowout win, and combined them with hard fought wins.This is a big game for Mavs and Celtics to get a win against a good team. Celtics need to come out strong and play 48 minutes of basketball to win this game.

I'm looking for our BIGS to produce show me somethin they been lousy
and not just the bigs everybody REBOUND the dang ball
Is it just me or does it seem like Rondo has missed more layups this year than Ray Allen has missed three pointers.
This looks like a retirees pickup game..!That's more or less what it is, isn't it?
can we please get a timeoutEither that, or a bucket.
This team is brutalNo their start to this game is brutal.
we jus gotta get warmed up
Carter looks very old and slow..!That may have been the slowest dribble drive + charge taken I have ever seen.
(http://www.inquisitr.com/wp-content/wellwellwell-1.jpg)
Not too good a start.
We gave up west to get dooling? How stupidNo, we didn't?
Rondo can have a layup drill on this team all night if he wantsApparently not.
One of these days KG is going to get called for those moving screens he sets.
Doris..

Doc needs to wake up, smell the cofffe, and figure out that Rajon needs at least 1 if not 2 younger sets of legs in the starting lineup. Start Wilcox or Stiemer, mabe Petrius/Quis, bring JO and (maybe) Ray off the bench. Mix and match, legs and craft.Rondo has 4 missed shots and a turnover, and his man has scored 6 points already. He's more of a problem than a solution at this point.
Rondo can have a layup drill on this team all night if he wants
Why DID they let WEST go.....West..?
Why DID they let WEST go.....West..?Doc said Dooling was option A and if that fell through West was plan B
If I see Wilcox come off the bench...
oh steamer got a MONSTER rebound..!!!! LOL, kidding..i do like him....lets not pick on rondo..he shoots good...pg is not supposed to be a shooter, he is a floor general...set up man....and when our team USED to move....
#356, thanks..!Why DID they let WEST go.....West..?Doc said Dooling was option A and if that fell through West was plan B
:o
okay, for you steamer haters...see how he moves to the hoop as the ball goes there...that is intelligent hoop...!Stiemsma has been criticized for different parts of his game. But all you Stiemsma apologists seem to roundly ignore that part.

True.
and i do agree, it would be great if he shot better....but....when our team was ready, he looked great...he was the prime mover back then...HE didn't change....
His inability to shoot is a more glaring problem now though because it seems that no one else outside of Ray can hit a shot either.
Apologists? Haha, what has he done good or bad for anyone to apologize for? What are you even talking about, bud? ;Dokay, for you steamer haters...see how he moves to the hoop as the ball goes there...that is intelligent hoop...!Stiemsma has been criticized for different parts of his game. But all you Stiemsma apologists seem to roundly ignore that part.
Rondo plays, the sunset four sit. Doc making a statement?No, that's typically how the rotation has operated this season. Not that it has worked particularly well, since Rondo has been quite miscast as the alpha dog with this group.
If the future of the Celtics is on the floor right now, we're in serious trouble.
did anyone think this team would look this bad after 4 games off?There is zero intensity on both ends from the Green tonight. Wake the F up!
no flow on offense and Dallas is showing a lot more hustle.

i have talk to Danny Ainge
he see that we here at Celtics Blog are unhappy with the current squad and has allowed us to pick next season Cetic's team from members on this blog..
he gonna pm each one of us with the try out time and place...
get your pro wings and rebok pumps ready fellas..
*drankin*
Say what you want about the other parts of Bradley's game but his defense is outstanding and getting better and better.If he could dribble and walk at the same time, I'd be a bit more encouraged.
The fact that the team has looked equally bad with them on or off the floor in recent games is indeed a reason for drinking.If that's true, I need to start drinking.If the future of the Celtics is on the floor right now, we're in serious trouble.

well one good thing about Bradley is he gives Rondo a running mate on the fast break
Rondo/bradley is a scary defensive backcourt.its true, but I'm bit of a hater. I'm warming to him, but an NBA guard shouldn't have 1-5 chance of dribbling off his foot everytime he touches the ball. It just unnerves me when he handles the ball.
I think you are grossly over exaggerating his ball handling weaknesses. But then again, you do admit to being a hater, so.......Rondo/bradley is a scary defensive backcourt.its true, but I'm bit of a hater.

When Rondo gets fouled, it's always murder.
i see why rondo is not diggin goin to the bucket..
he gets slammed like ONYX!!
rondo shoulda gave that to kevin..alley oop...get kev in the gameKevin alleyoop? :x don't count on it m8
Rondo's gonna get killed if he's gonna continue hitting the floor like that.Most of this is drama, he didn't get hit that hard on this play.
Any news on Ray?yup, still bald
I really hate all this swatting at the ball we do instead of actually rebounding with 2 hands. 98% of the time we swat it right into the other teams possession SMH.yeah, that's really aggravating. need to just grab the ball
Is Pierce still hurt????The good news is, Greg Dickerson is back!
This team is frustrating.

Is it too early to discuss the draft yet?never too early but then again, I love the draft
Haywood doing a nice job on the offensive glass.This team doesn't know what boxing out is
Gotta do a better job keeping a body on him.

No it doesn't. You're not supposed to pass the ball to the opposition.I really hate all this swatting at the ball we do instead of actually rebounding with 2 hands. 98% of the time we swat it right into the other teams possession SMH.yeah, that's really aggravating. need to just grab the ball

Ray's decision making when he is trying to pass has gotten to the point of being nearly amateurish.
Bad scoring. That was a bad pass.Ray's decision making when he is trying to pass has gotten to the point of being nearly amateurish.
They gave the turnover to Rondo. Weird.
Not really that bad a play by Ray. Just sneakiness from Terry.
terry put our vets on blastLove Jet. He's saying it like it is :p
need to de-stress for the second half. time to go play with puppies and get in a better mood.
I hope we get to see little of JJ 2nd half.So do I because that would mean that we are blowing out the Mavs.
I would like to see Chris Wilcox get some court time alongside the Big Four tonight.
LOL
YES Rondo if you arch your free thow shot better chance it goes in :P

Back on topic, Rondo 8-10 from the line :o
Who's looking older right now? Pierce or carter?
Rick Carlisle just assured the Mavs get every call from this point on for the rest of the game.that's why he's one of the better coaches in the league.
Great defense.Another day to day injury?
Oh no!!! There goes JO for the year. ;)
wow, a blown lay-in by PP, leading to a fast break for Dallas with 2 offensive rebounds and finally a 3 for West.That one hurts ... really hurts.
Pierce needs to sit. Now.
KG, Pierce, JO... :(Pierce needs to sit. Now.
He looks done. I mean, it's just scary.. :-\
sadly it looks like he spent all his energy in negotiations and didn't leave anything for the season :PPierce needs to sit. Now.

That missed free throw just boggled my mind. There's something wrong with him. Maybe that heel is bothering him
That was 2 delay of games where's the FTs??My question too...maybe it's 2 a half?

Both teams are shockingly slow all over the court.
The only time we saw any real quickness tonight was when Avery Bradley was in the game alongside Rajon Rondo. And you had Bass and Pietrus.
First one was just a warning?That was 2 delay of games where's the FTs??My question too...maybe it's 2 a half?
This team is a fringe playoff team. Just not very goodOh come on!!!
Am I the only one who remembers Pierce putting up 24 two games ago? He's not done.
This team is a fringe playoff team. Just not very goodOh come on!!!
They are in a tight game against the world champs, a team that has won 4 out of their last 5.
Are the Celtics expected to blow out every team before you deem them a good team?
Am I the only one who remembers Pierce putting up 24 two games ago? He's not done.Against the Nets though...without half their team
Am I the only one who remembers Pierce putting up 24 two games ago? He's not done.
That's why I dismissed his horrible game on Friday. 2 games in a row though? And after 4 days of rest? I mean I understand it happens but its not like him. I think something is wrong.

We are so easy to defend with the Dooling/Bradley backcourt.we've actually been pretty easy to defend regardless of who has been on the court :(

Apparently being behind in the 3rd quarter means you lose.
They must have changed the rules of basketball without informing the rest of us.
Hey everyone. Go home. Stop watching. If the Celtics are losing in the third quarter that means they will lose. Nothing to watch here.

How can you have such a huge advantage in free throws and still be losing? I don't get it.
Oh wait, the other team has taken 24 more shots than you. That's how.
Guys, I admit that I didn't watch the first half, but I watched the half time show and I sat down and just watched the first 10 minutes of the 3rd quarter, and I don't know what else to say. This is just not a very good team. I don't know what other conclusions there are to come to, or what excuses can be made to adequately cover the level of mediocrity that's being shown out there. It's not like this is just one game, either. They've looked pretty mediocre in every game this season other than the three they've played against god awful teams (Pistons, Wizards).
Danny has to start seriously looking at some major trades, and sooner rather than later.
MP! Lets find the desire for 12 minutes! Depressed but not Dead yet.
man, I'm watching Pietrus and he looks like a great pickup. shoots, defends, hustles -- why on earth did he want to sign on with a bunch of players who are doing the complete opposite? ???To look good. He's not *that* good, but surround yourself with scrubs, and there you go ;)
And you might love this team...I won't question that you might. But maybe you should actually say a good thing or two about this team every once in a while because for the past three years all you have been doing is ripping them apart every game, win or lose, decrying their downfall and how bad and old they are and yet they still have somehow managed to win 65% of their games, gone to the playoffs with a high seed and gone to an NBA Finals.who cares if dallas won it last year...boston had 4 days off....and dallas played last night...yet boston looks out of gas and just dead. this team beats up on sorry teams yet can't win against good oneGee...I didn't know they lost this game yet.

I feel like a "these are the times that try men's souls" piece needs to be written for C's fans
KG is a pathetic rebounder.

It really says a lot about how far he's fallen, because for a while he was the most dominant rebounder in the league.

both teams are dead

JVG is trying very hard not to say "Wow, both of these teams are too old to care."
Meanwhile, Kobe has 20+ points in the first half again tonight.
Is it too early to speculate that the knee platelet treatment he got was basically blood doping (cheating)?
KG! We still have plenty of time- just 8.5 minutes of passion from our team is all we need! This game is there for the takingI like the optimism! :D
A bewildering series of calls. The Bass out of bounds, the clean block for Pietrus and the Dooling defense.
4 extra points for Mavs off the techs and free throws.
Is it all that new guy?

i know the offense is bad...but man...what happened to the defense? dallas either scores or draws a foulagreed - the team has looked horrible pretty much all season on both ends. we used to be able to rely on the defense at least (well, excluding rebounding that is)
This team might be even worse than I thought. The centers are atrocious and dooling has no clue how to run the offense. And what is wrong with pierce?

If you are gonna tell it like it is at least tell it like it is about your own posting habits.
look at my post count man...i don't disappear at all. I post every game...win or lose. think it is pretty **** baggery of you to call me out like this just because we disagree

Pietrus is completely gassed. He just said, "I'm all done," to Doc.

Pietrus has played 17 minutes and is dead tired. Didn't even make it up court after his steal set up Rondo lay-up that tied the score @ 77.

great, this means Doc will play him the rest of the game
So riddle me this:
If we play like rubbish. Like utter rubbish. Against a Dallas team that's playing pretty well. And we still win.
Does that make us contenders?

Only Rajon Rondo gets to the bottom of the dotted semi-circle and doesn't shoot the ball. #Celtics

Great quarter by this team. Awesome defense right there.

Stiemsma, where art thou?
Saw the same thing at the start of the second quarter.Great quarter by this team. Awesome defense right there.

sprint workout before big game??
More volleyball under the basket. SMH.
Captain!!!
Get this stop...Get this win!!!!
No double. Let KG play Dirk straight up.
Ray or Pierce who will it be??
Bad pass by Rondo. Pierce wide open in the opposite side.
Great heart.
Bad loss.
Bad bad loss.
This should have been a W.
UGH!!!!
at least they played hard...that is about allI got after the last 2 games. it sure would be nice to win a couple of these thoughthey didn't play hard soon enough or long enough. that's part of what really kills them.
We lose on a circus shot and fluke of a turnover to the defending champions, and now we will get to hear about how we should blow up the squad. Lovely.

I wonder if Garnett would make a better inbounds passer than Rondo. With Garnett's size, it'd be much more difficult for someone to disturb his passing lanes.
After all, KG is a terrific passer.
did doc rivers get out coached by assistant coach? leaving bass in on defense is inexcusable.

make no mistake, they shouldn't have even been in this game at the end. on four days rest, facing a team on the second night of a back to back, they were killed on the boards, turned the ball over a ton, and couldn't carry a solid lead into the fourth quarter despite having a staggering advantage in free throws.
the shot from nowitzki and ensuing turnover were just the icing on this feces-cake.

i am trying to be positive...but if they meandered through the first 3 quarters and it cost them in the end.

Aside from the game tying 3, PP played like an absolute bum. What a ****g team we have after 4 days of rest. Although I have to say that Rondo's bad inbound pass was the only pass he could make. Had to throw it down low.
But [dang] man, Dallas played like a tired team and still beat us. I can't wait to get our butts whooped this Friday with the Bulls! ::)

The fact remains that Boston was very much in this game throughout. Dallas went on a run, and Boston answered. Dallas went on another run and Boston answered. The defense was solid again. I'm not that upset with tonight.
i am struggling to find good things about this team. really hard.

He did exactly what he always did with Big Baby, leaving him in the fourth at the end of almost every game in place of the starting C.
Probably it's a magic formula to try to help the aging big 3..
Comcast beating it over the head that the team is out of shape.
Isn't everyone out of shape across the league or are the C's just getting old?
WHAT IT MEANS
Nine games in and Boston still owns no victories over playoff-caliber teams. Despite a four-day break before Wednesday's game -- and the fact that the Mavericks were coming off a back-to-back in Detroit -- the Celtics watched the defending champs come up with the big plays in crunch time. The schedule doesn't get any easier with Chicago (Friday) and Oklahoma City (Monday) scheduled for visits (and a trip to Indiana on Saturday). Boston drops below .500 again at 4-5 and still can't put together a full 48-minute effort.

On the plus side, this is easily the best bench we've had in 4 years.
Comcast beating it over the head that the team is out of shape.The Mavericks are also old and on the second night of a back-to-back, I am concerned, not quite panic level though.

Really think the C's will be 4-8 or 5-7 a week from now. Where will the panic meter be at then? 20/10?
pierce and ray allen should of played like that the whole game why wait for the 4th Q to try and win the game i blame those two for this loseco-sign both of them were extremely non aggresive today
Terrible inbounds bounce pass by RondoA bounce pass at the shins at that distance is really hard to handle, especially when you need the receiver to immediately go into his shooting motion.
We can realistically lose the next 3 games putting us at 4-8. Our offense has been putrid all season
Comcast beating it over the head that the team is out of shape.Yup...I agree.

i think them being older leads to them being out of shape longer. but no excuse tonight...4 days off and they still came out dead
Guys, guys. They'll beat the Bulls, I'm going to the game. It's a lock.

Bulls Friday, Pacers Saturday, Thunder Monday. @PosImpos is right... We could be looking at 3 more L's here.

and the defense is just as bad

I would put this on our horrid rebounding. We gave up too many 2nd chance points.
I would put this on our horrid rebounding. I don't know the exact number but we gave up double digit 2nd chance points.
You must not be watching the games? our defense has been good to great most game... offense has looked terrible a lot though.
