Celtics (19-4) at Grizzlies (10-13) 12/14

Will Hasheem ever start for the Grizz? Besides blocking shots, he has no game. And Gasol is better than average center.

I think everyone acknowledges Thabeet was a project.  Gasol is an experienced pro center.  It takes at least 3-5 years for many centers to round into NBA shape.  At least Thabeet's shotblocking and size get him some time on the court.

They aren't. Very young but very talented.

We gotta get KG  in the post, or anywhere. Sheed has 10 shots KG has 2. Gotta get the man his touches, he will dominate this teams front court

I disagree about us not getting the calls. I think it's been a pretty well called game except for one or two obvious bad calls. But 1-2 obvious bad calls in a half is now the norm.

The Grizzlies were the aggressors early and took it to the hole and their fouls against were shooting fouls. The C's were shooting from the perimeter for most of the first 14 minutes of the game and the Grizzlies' fouls against us weren't loose ball fouls and personal fouls. The personals fouls are 13-9 Bos-Mem so it kinda shows that the fouls are fairly even even though the FTAs aren't.

I've got 5 dollars on 9-1 odds that the Wolves beat Utah. Anyone think that will happen?

Seriously, take a look at Perkins.

Thabeet did have years in college, but college doesn't prepare you for what the NBA's game is like. Especially for big men.

We're not playing good enough D to whine about the Refs. We kept trading buckets with the Griz....

I hate games like this.

[celticinorlando]

yeah...dont really want to see boston let the griz hang around too much longer....

[Donoghus]

Nice alley oop.

[Kiorrik]

I'm tired and this game isn't really helping me stay awake Maybe I should miss a game or two.

[celticinorlando]

fouls piling up on boston....
