Celtics (43-24) at Rockets (35-31) 3/19

[outcry]

DAGGER

[USG]

Screw it, I'm throwing caution to the wind.

KG is back.

Edit: Thanks for backing me up with the second bucket, Ticket!

[liam]

The more the bench plays the better it is for everyone.

[Drucci]

Ray could have killed the game right there with his three.. but in and out, and a 2+1 for the Rockets on the other end. Be careful!

[Meadowlark_Scal]

well whatever, wait then....wait till the day before the show....heck, we haven't had a good plan for them yet anyway.....maybe they will just disappear...or quit...! doc will have a good talk to the team after, and comfort the press that is was no big deal...!

Or wait until there's more than a miniscule chance we'll face them in the playoffs. Admit your ****. You criticized Doc for not paying attention to a team he has no reason to pay attention to. You were wrong. Suck it up.

you need to settle down kid.....i am not wrong, nothing wrong with watching tape on a team that will be in the playoffs...i was quoting doc in todays paper as saying he didn't look at any team no position and doesn't reaaly care who is where....that is my point, but yes atalnta is a concern.....for a celtics fan, as they have owned us all year.

You do understand that we're probably not going to see them again, correct?

One of the worst things is when someone can't admit they're wrong...

i would admit it.....even if i was talking to you, if i was wrong, how do you know anything that will happen in the playoffs, the facts here are simnple, atalnta is 3 or 4, near us, they have beat us all year, they can play with anyone in this conference, so i know we won't see them first, i do know how it is set up, thanks.....what is this
"suck it up" stuff and admit you were wrong, it is still the same facts that they are there and has more than an average chance of being there, and i said see how the knicks beat them...like that is hard...you ask very little of a coach, i swear. and you put your self in the line when no ne was taking you on, so why call me out.....

He looks better and better each game. I think he'll be even better by the playoffs. PP too!

[More Banners]

I seriously think we've looked good today. I just wish BBD was like... I dunno. Shaq, or something.

Or himself with moon shoes.

Or ...


...

...... Leon Powe

Powe does only one thing better offensively than BBD -- draw fouls.  Baby should be able to learn that.  He goes for the basket; Powe drew fouls.

Powe's got those long arms that he swings around, throwing those long forearms against someone for the obvious foul.  BBD has a different build, making it harder to get that call.

Atlanta can't play with Orlando at all.

I ask a lot of a coach. I ask that he scout the opponents he will have to get by in the 5-6 seed, and most importantly, the CAVALIERS OR MAGIC before he moves on to the team that would have to beat the Cavs/Magic just to face us once! We have a below average chance of playing the Hawks. But that chance drops to near 0 if we waste time scouting unlikely ECF opponents before we're set to face our 1st and 2nd round opponents.

[Neurotic Guy]

Not over -- but almost.  One of the more solid performances  since 23-5.  

Bench is dangerous. I think KG really IS back.  Ray with rest is unreal.  Pierce great today, but still seems not 100% to me yet.

[USG]

Not at all over yet.

[liam]

PP is the closer!

[USG]

OK, now maybe.

Wow, up 5, need to build it to 7, and you get a perfect easy layup. Been so long since we've executed like that when we needed to.

[Drucci]

Thanks Paul, crucial bucket here.

Seriously, the team keeps going to Perk when they need to score to save their lives, have they lost a bet running all season long with Perk or something?! Terrible strategy...

[liam]

PP plays better when he gets in early foul trouble.
