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

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

Totally agree especially when we are getting dominated on the boards.

i cant fault baby...he is the only guy rebounding...bottom line is you cant get down 22 in the first quarter on the road vs a good team

[celticsclay]

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

cause nuggets cant hit them. I like it!

Yeah, even a decent first quarter probably would of won this game. Or maybe not, but we wouldn't of had to put so much effort into cutting the lead.

Oh well, very good road trip still.

Yep, you basically have to play flawless basketball to win one of these types of games.

I'd say good road trip.  Would have been very good if they won and could have been a season changer.

Bah, the Toon squad is in.

[JohnBagleyValueMeal]

Didn't Perk have 5 fouls?  That really hurt.

[vinnie]

Ray's minutes are nuts today! Good thing he's got a couple of days to rest.

[PosImpos]

When the Celtics (or any team really) get down big and then can't hit shots from outside they're going to lose, period.

You can't get back into a game unless you play solid D and hit 3's.  The Celtics were only able to do one of those things today (and not even that well).

Hey my man sheldon is in...!
