Celtics (32-18) at Kings (18-34) 2/16

One of Sheed's better games as a Celtic. Hopefully he keeps it up.

House, you truley will be missed

[ejk3489]

Pretty clear that you guys aren't watching OKC lately.  They're a good team.  Durant is as scary a scorer as has come along in a LONG time.

Agreed. They've won seven in a row now, and are only 2 games back from the 3 seed in the west. That's pretty impressive.

[Tai]

Hey, you all still want to trade Rasheed?

Oh, ok.

[Thruthelookingglass]

Its called winning ugly.  I don't care if its by 25 or by 5.  

I'll confess to caring a little, but mostly I'll take a win right now.  C's need to sort things out on the fly, and I'm all for stocking up a few W's while we are doing it.

C's winning the battle of the boards

C's shooting 80% at the FT line

C's holding the Kings to 37% shooting, though Kings are helping

C's increased the lead two quarters in a row

C's scored 19 points in the 3rd quarter played mostly by the starters

C's have missed at least 10 layups/fast break chances

C's are playing against one of the leagues worst teams and the starters are not beating the Kings starters

Yet, who's winning?

I hope the Celtics --- they SHOULD be winning against a team that is 18-34 shouldn't they???

C's only gave up 17 third quarter points

It doesn't matter who played most of the third quarter because we want the whole team to win not just a part of it

Sacramento is 13-12 at home and average 105.8 PPG at home yet they are on a pace for just 92

Pierce used be so effective on the Pink-N-Roll. He gets stuck now and makes bad decisions.

Agreed. They've won seven in a row now, and are only 2 games back from the 3 seed in the west. That's pretty impressive.

Nevertheless, their starting center is Nenad Krstic.

The fact that they are within striking distance of the 3rd seed in the West says more about the soft middle of the West than it does about the Thunder's strength as a team.

The Thunder are going to be great in a couple of years, especially if they get a legit center to add to their core.  Right now they're just a young team dangerous enough to knock off a better team on any given night.

No they SHOULDN'T

You have to go out and win every night in this league

No team is a given win

[celticinorlando]

i want a win...but my point is the kings have given boston every opportunity to blow this game wide open...yet they cannot do it. we again find ourselves sweating it out vs an inferior team

This brings to mind at least one or two not-so-PC comments.  But we know what you mean . . . don't we?   

[Kuberski33]

Who on this team to you feel confident going to now on offense?  I can't think of anyone.

[Kuberski33]

We're headed for another bad L it's looking like.
