Bucks (9-10) at Celtics (16-4) 12/8

[Quinn]

beautiful jumper.

[GroverTheClover]

One more rebound and Rondo's got a triple double.

[Cman]

It has been a pattern when the C's are playing their lethargic game that they threaten to take it and then let up.  7 points leads evaporate.  This is solvable, but they really need to keep the intensity up until the game is won.  Cannot keep letting these lesser teams feel like they can win.

This has been a pattern for the Cs for many a year now.  It is stress inducing.

Although, when the Cs were a struggling team, I distinctively remember the false hope that we would hold on to when we "stuck with" the visiting good team for 3 quarters before the visiting good team woke up and dominated in the 4th.  

In other words, I don't think "playing down to the competition" (with all due respect to the Bucks and other sub .500 teams) is something that only plagues the Cs, I think it plagues all good teams, and is something to watch out for...

[USG]

Oh my God, Ray, why?!

Rondo is winning this game for us single-handedly right now.

Wow big play there C's had a 3 on 1 break and turned it over.  Going up 7 there would have been huge...

[fairweatherfan]

Rondo!!!

Love his confidence lately.

[Neurotic Guy]

Chance for some distance --- turnover.  AARRGGHHH!

[mzepol]

Rondo's getting a trip-dub tonight.

Yeah, just look at some of the teams the Nuggets have lost to this year.

I'm really sorry for posting this in the game thread, but can someone tell me how to upload an avatar? i just signed up a minute ago, and i don't see where to go to upload an avatar picture. thanks, and go Celts!

[Drucci]

Momentum breaker by Ray there.

But Rondo is awesome! Get your last rebound and get that triple double Rajon, you deserved it!

I like how he takes and usually makes his jumper late in games, when the opponent defense is letting him wide open. Make them pay.

[Kiorrik]

See? His shot comes and goes with confidence. He'll be alright.

[BigBaby]

good thing they're giving us all these FT. keepin us in it
