Celtics (6-1) at Mavericks (3-2) 11/8

[Bahku]

Watching (the replay) for the first time ... I love Nate, but Barea is having his way with him. Are we gonna get a whistle sometime?!?

Spoiler alert:










Not really.

Tempting though, isn't it? Well, Baby's OK, but Jermaine's gone for the night ... great! 

Jermaine having to bow out early certainly wasn't a highlight. We really need Shaq back (Or Perk!) in a hurry. Semih has been amazingly solid, but just doesn't get the respect he deserves at this point and Glen isn't a machine, neither is KG.

The injuries have us a little thin upfront (Didn't think I'd be saying that this season) and it hurts us.

Really glad Doc & Danny stacked this team with bigs ... looks like we're going to need them all, eventually.

[Bahku]

Look much better in the third quarter.

[Bahku]

KG's on fire ... man, despite our other troubles, it is sooooooooooooooo nice to see KG playing this well ... elevating, moving his feet, he looks as good as I've seen him since he came to Boston. Lovin' it!

[Bahku]

We're not attacking the basket anymore, and we're getting very few whistles.

[Bahku]

Wow ... KG misses a bunny ... that hurt.

[Bahku]

Rondo takes a three ... are you kidding me?!? That was the last thing that should have happened there! Well, some poor shooting and even poorer decisions to end this one. Shame ... could have been ours easily. 

[Bahku]

We beat ourselves in this one, (and we could have had an extra whistle or two), the Mavericks are not the better team. On to Miami ... hope we have Shaq back.

C's still had more points in the paint then Dallas. Only 7 FTs is ridiculous

[Spilling Green Dye]

wow, bench was awful.  Davis on Dirk was a bad idea, and nate was TERRIBLE.

Rondo needs to eat up the slow Kidd... I hope the C's run the ball

I absolutely do not get why Doc is adamant about having Davis guard tall good shooting big men like Dirk??!!  I posted this comment in the 2nd quarter... and lo and behold.. uggh.

[Drucci]

Just watched the game. Well, disappointind frustrating loss, mostly because we made a comeback in the 2nd half. But we missed a lot of open shots and our D was absent at times so it was deserved, although I thought the Mavs got a little homecooking help from the refs (calls everytime Dirk touched the ball and no-calls on fouls on the other end like when KG got fouled in the last seconds - not on his three point but when he was near the basket - ).

Plus the starters played a lot of minutes, too bad.

Gotta rest and bounce back against Miami!

this is the game where we couldve used scal 

[celticinorlando]

i am afraid we wasted the MLE on JO. He seems to be made of glass

I don't understand comments like this one, or the "I miss Leon Powe, or Tony Allen, or .............insert player here comments. If Scal were on the roster last night, he most likely wouldn't have played, and even more likely wouldn't have contributed. And to the Powe fans, how great is the one legged Powe looking in cleveland. Yea, he sure cost us the series against them in last year's playoffs, I really regret not resigning him. And oh yea, TA is tearing it up on the memphis bench so far this year.

I'm hoping the return of DWest in a couple games leads to reduced minutes for Ray Allen and (to a lesser extent) Rondo.  Doc really needs to manage the minutes well this year in order for our guys to make a deep playoff run.

TA is playing even fewer minutes in Memphis than he did in Boston.  Sort of sad, as he would be better off, and the Cs would be better off, if TA was still in Boston.
