Thank goodness Brandon Jennings got injured.  Griffin and Derozan at least have the goods for some contest fireworks.  No idea what they were thinking with Jennings, McGee and Ibaka.

Are we really winning? While playing this badly??

unfortunately it encourages our players to maintain the mediocre play because they know they can still win. Walton's right, the celtics toy with teams and don't focus against poorer opponents.

I agree with you...I hate this attitude.

for the last time, when someone makes dumb plays, there is nothing wrong with saying it. I didn't use any foul language or anything, I commented directly on his play, so lay off it.

You realize we can all see the quoted sentence "making shots doesn't cure stupidity" right?

You could just say "mbad, I meant 'making the shot doesn't mean it wasn't a dumb shot'" and be done with the whole argument instead of trying to argue that sentence never happened.





I stand by my sentence, I never pretended it never happened, and what I said was not wrong. Nate has played dumb basketball all season long, making a few dumb shot will just further encourage him.

  • It's not hard to work hard.
Rebounds 29-21 overall. Portland is spazzy but can be dangerous. Aldridge is a nice player.
McHale's favorite ruse is putting paper in the mouths of sleeping teammates. "Try using one of these cocktail napkins," he said. "When just the edge sticks out of a guy's mouth, it looks like he's got fangs. The best part is when he wakes up."

Congratulations, then. Enjoy your awesome argument.

Yeah I really like Aldridge. Wouldn't mind seeing him in green and white somewhere down the line.

Blazers came out with fire in their eyes, like the kid that got bullied all throughout high school then grew taller and wont back down anymore.

Lets see how long that lasts. Pierce looks like hes gonna have a big night tonight, once we limit our turnovers and box people out we will win this game.

I'll enjoy it more when Nate's on the bench for good.

Just my opinion - with the exception of a few box-outs missed, The Celtics are playing hard. Portland is always a tough out in Portland. LaMarcus is a really good player, Przbylla is back, and they are trying to out-run us.

My take? Portland is trying their best to beat us, and we are still winning, taking their best shots so far.

And Perk has been a Beast!! Without his hustle, we may be down 4 instead of up 4.

right now, Aldridge is too long and athletic for any Celtic player except KG. Perk still needs minutes, and they're without O'Neal brothers.

Celtics focus in 2nd half and put away the game  ;)

Given the offensive deficiencies of the bench, when Nate is in there with the second unit, he should be taking most threes that you would want Ray Allen to attempt in a similar situation.  Agree or disagree?
