Celtics (35-18) at Nuggets (36-19) 2/21

I don't feel like quoting 1 of the 20 people talking about Big Baby right now... so I'm just going to throw my opinion out there.

He was good in the Orlando series last year and while he was filling in for KG at the end of the regular season. He was good because he was getting wide open jumpers because his jumper wasn't in team's scouting reports. He was also in the best shape of his NBA career.

Now, he has put his weight back on. He gets blocked on 25% of his shots. All this, after he just signed a contract. He is essentially Mark Blount. I dislike him very much. If he had any work ethic at all he would get back in shape. He's a bum.

Not a bum...but doesn't seem to be aware of his limitations.  Needs to do like Big Ben, get a hustle rebound, then pass the ball to an offensive player.

He will never do that because he is selfish, which makes him a bum.

Not sure about that...maybe he just doesn't "get" that he can't jump/has short arms/no NBA post game?...just thinks he can do more than he can?  I mean, I suppose a player that's 6-9 might expect that he could score from 18 inches out, but BBD can't score in traffic under the hoop.  The wide-open 12 footer is his shot, for whatever good that is.

Wonder why he wasn't much of a trade asset....

How many times does he need to be blocked down low to "get" that he shouldn't be taking lackadaisical layups down low?

The way I see it, a lot rides on this game if C's win, but it's not a disaster if they lose.  Winning will send a message to entire league that the C's are still a very dangerous team that can beat anybody.  Losing merely means coming back home with a 3-1 record against four tough opponents on the road.

I don't understand why you were even talking about a loss before the game started.

12-23 from the free throw line? Yikes.

[celticsclay]

celts are showing a lot of fight here!

[Meadowlark_Scal]

practice idea, give
BBD some Mcnuggets, and put the dipping sauce up in the rim...?

[twinbree]

I'm worried about Pierce now. I have no faith in the staff and coaches to sit him if his injuries require it. Hopefully the 2 days off will do him some good.

[Mike-Dub]

J.R. really kid us today.

He mentioned a scenario where the Celtics lose, and said he wouldn't mind. What's wrong with that? Tommy and Gary and Greg and Mike all talked about it too before the game. 3-1 is a good road trip.

Today would have been a game were we really would have needed Nate.

Yeah there is nothing wrong with that I am just being frustrated but I don't like ever talking about a loss before the game has even been played.

the nuggets shot 11 Ft in the third quarter alone...that killed boston...but really..i am good...they showed heart and played well in middle of the game


the captain still concerns me

[JohnBagleyValueMeal]

showing a lot of heart and energy right now.

[MattG12]

BBD some Mcnuggets, and put the dipping sauce up in the rim...?

I thought to myself... good idea!

He would eventually lose some weight because he would be jumping with all of his might, but then when the weight was lost he would get that chicken and the weight would go back on and he'd be back where he started. Vicious cycle!

[joebianca]

I don't quite understand why they're fouling with so much time left.

[twinbree]

Even with 4 fouls Perk needs to be playing more than 23 minutes.
