Knicks game will be interesting

[droopdog7]

Obviously, the C's have started to pick it up lately.  After playing like statues for the last month, it is good to see.  But it's one thing to step up against tough competition on the road.  Most teams really get up for those games.  It is another thing to dispose of a bad team at home. 

This game shoudn't be close.  So if the C's come out flat and again squeak out a victory (or if they....gulp, lose), it could show that their remain kinks on the armour. 

Obviously this is one game but I am really hoping for a laugher.  We need another one of those badly.

I feel that with the additions of T-Mac and house the Knicks aren't the push overs they once were. However, If KG and Perk keep playing the defense they've been playing the past few games we could get up big. I expect us to be short the captain tomorrow (after watching him against Denver he should sit). With Pierce out (just conjecture) Robinson should see a lot of minutes and hopefully make a splash in Celtics green.

Lol, me too. But I'm kinda warming up to it... though I still find it lame.

i hate to break it to all of you (and I hope I'm wrong) but historically speaking, teams typically do not play well on their first game at home following "lengthy" road trips.

But one thing is certain: there will be a LOT of emotion in this game...

I already have my Kleenex at the ready.

If Pierce was ok to play, I'd be ok with him doing so. Other than that, I don't see how Nate can directly rest Pierce more, although in an indirect way Pierce sitting means Nate gets more minutes. Nate's a more direct sub for Rondo (and to a smaller extent Ray), no?

Anyways, I digress. Doc already said in this article that there isn't time to get Nate integrated in the offensive sets, so it's a pick and roll all night, more or less.

I look forward to that.

More of Nate means more of TA/Daniels at the 2 and more of Allen/Daniels at the 3.

It surely helps.

More indirectly, if with Nate our units are playing better, Doc has more leeway in when to insert our stars.

Resting Pierce will be good, for three reasons: It will give let him heal; it will give MQD more minutes, which he really needs to get back in flow; it will give Nate some more minutes.

Bonus: Pierce, once healed, does not need alot of time to get back to 100%. He is very resilient.

word aapp!!

This post would've been that much better if your nickname would've had an "n" other than a "j".

I hope the Celtics will stop fooling around at home, starting Tuesday against the Knicks. It's really weird to feel better about the team's chances of winning when it plays on the road rather than in Boston... so it would be great to see the Celtics re-focus and get their "home swagger" back.

I admit I'm a little worried they won't do it against the Knicks, but we will see.

Also, what does "word aap" mean?? I'm always wondering what it means when Nate tweets it.

word aapp = word up

Just read it differently.

Reminds me of the wuz up commericials a couple years back that Budweiser had. I assume it's pronounced in the same elongated annoying way.
