still to come....at orlando...at atlanta and the lakers this month...really need to win home games inwhich you have a double digit lead to start the 3rd quarter. they look old and tired in the second half

[4THQTR]

That was a pretty play though...

[PosImpos]

Meh.  The Celtics are really losing my faith here recently.  I'm pretty sure it's been quite some time since I watched this team and felt like they were an above average team.

Granted KG is out, but that's not enough of an excuse.

Yea a top 25 of all time being out is not an excuse...sure.

Especially when you consider that the guy going off right now is the one he guards.

NO KG is not an excuse for this game they simply stopped playing defense because they were lazy

The best scorer in the league went off because we had stiffs/old guys (scal, Sheed) going through screens like clowns.

so you agree?

p.s. Nowitzski is not the best scorer in the league.  he's very talented but that title belong to Carmelo

Great defense there --- collapse on everyone and leave Dirk alone at the top of the key brilliant strategy there

JESUS CHRIST HOW THE HELL DO U LEAVE HIM WIDE OPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

actually erik dampier did most the damage in the third quarter for dallas

[Donoghus]

Dirk is on tonight.

[PosImpos]

This game isn't even going to be close.  The Mavs are making this look easy.

It's funny because it's the young guys that are basically letting us down. Pierce/Ray look great tonight. It's the rest...

[Drucci]

Pathetic, they don't even TRY to defend Nowitzki when the guy is not missing a single shot.

[4THQTR]

Oh tony...  

[JohnBagleyValueMeal]

bad tony

Orlando be positive!  They can't be tired after 3 days off can they?  They can't be bombing at home yet again against a Dallas team on the second game of a road back to back that got blown out by Toronto yesterday can they?  They can't have been destroyed in yet another 3rd quarter since they don't have problems in the 3rd quarter do they?

[celticinorlando]

if boston wins their division...what is the lowest seed they can be?

Dirk scored 13 in the quarter...I'd say he's the main reason this game turned around.
