[Kiorrik]

this is a big week. dallas, at detroit and portland....because the gauntlet of the jan. sked is coming....lakers, magic, clippers and hawks .....tough....but dallas is playing well and jason terry scares me off the bench

Sure does.

The Mavs didn't look very impressive today against toronto, but i just hope pierce is fine...

i really want to see this team healthy at some point...

[MaxwellSmart86]

Yeah, you just know Dallas will play GREAT against us tomorrow----kinda like how Baron Davis hits that amazing game winner--and puts up a COMPLETE BRICK last night in the same situation against LeBron.

Should be a comfortable win tomorrow for the Celtics ---

They are coming off a 3 day rest.  The Mavericks are on the road and will be playing on back to back nights.  The excuses of fatigue and injuries have been used on this board for quite some time, however after seeing Portland battle so hard despite rampant injuries that talk has subsided a bit.  The Mavericks are the team playing back to back against the well rested and home team Celtics(not sure if that is a good thing anymore)

The C's desperately need a solid win tomorrow --- they need to reestablish a home court advantage, and if they can't beat a road team playing back to back nights after having 3 days off themselves then it will be painfully obvious that the Celtics are in big trouble.

Not sure how well Dallas is playing as they have lost 3 out of their last 4 games getting blown out twice and the only win a 1 point squeaker against the Thunder. 

A home game after plenty of rest against a struggling team --- the perfect recipe for a Celtic victory, or else...

at least we have sheed back to play dirk

on d scal will def keep a hand in his face...

PRESSURE! Some play their best under pressure. Hope Docs puts the right players in this game. And how about giving PP a rest before his knee is permanently damaged.

paul kev and sheed should take a vacation...we won game without them and them healthy we will be unstoppable

Dallas got destroyed by Toronto last night. Yep, Toronto.

However, it may persuade them to come focused and with a revenge against us but they're playing on a back to back and we have had 3 days of rest so it should advantage us.

The idea is to get to their throats right from the start to get a big lead and never relinquish it. I like all our matchups except for Sheed on Dirk (Nowitzki, not Kiorrik ), and I think their bench has the edge on ours considering the injuries.

Rondo sould attack Kidd every time, he can't match with his speed. I hope this game marks the return of our dominance at home because so far we look more scary on the road than in Boston... disturbing!

Should be a fun game anyway. There are a lot of games for MLK Day, it's cool.

Let's go C's and TP FL!

I'm in "vacation" but I'm supposed to use that week to study for my upcoming exams (starting next Monday) so I shouldn't be there since I have to wake up early but I think I will go to sleep early and wake up for the game.

[4THQTR]

Came home early from work (well not really early, it's 11pm in switzerland...), let's see if i can stay awake for the celts...
