Awesome, awesome road trip considering the circumstances.

Yup, really solid road trip. Would've been ok with even a 2-2 record considering what they've been through.

Good one despite the changes and the real lack of centers.

this team needs a day of practice to get the newbies comfortable
The team needs a blowout game or two to give Green and Kristic minutes.

A nice win by the Celtics and when Rondo and Doc start to trust Green and Krstic we'll be much better. I think Green should be included in the starting lineup sometimes... kind of like Posey was.

I don't remember Posey in the starting line-up. Doc would even start Scalabrine to bring Posey off the bench and not mess with the rotations.

i may be wrong but i do believe I remember posey starting at least a game or 2 during that 9 game stretch KG was out with an ab injury back in '08. 

I believe Scal was starting games back in '09 when KG was out for the long haul and Posey wasnt here anymore

Posey only started 2 games in his Celtic career. Both of which were at the end of the season to give Pierce rest.

Funny to see KG get in Big Al's face - and then Big Al miss the subsequent free throw ;D.

Nice, nice block by JG there...crucial play for him in a close game. I look at him play, and he has so many raw tools for Boston to utilize.

He will be fine - as well as Nenad.

Great win! We had to fight till the end to get this one. I wasn't really confident since we always gave up 2+1 plays on defense everytime we scored in the clutch but Ray was simply phenomenal and Rondo had the game winning jumpshot. I liked that he took it from the free throw line after taking terrible long 2's during the entire game, it was smarter and it paid off.

KG was great too on the boards and offensively, Pierce got to the line and didn't miss a beat. Baby was awful though, especially on D... he got killed by Millsap and Jefferson all night. Krstic was huge in the 1st half, it was nice to see him score easily and even get an alley-oop from Rondo! You can tell he was looking for him more. Green was good and bad once again, I really enjoyed his last second block on a Jazz fastbreak, if he can do that regularly it will be huge. He still looks hesitant offensively but I liked his moves the few times he posted up.

3-1 on the road trip and now back home about lesser opponents, it's time to buckle up and secure the #1 seed!

Rondo hit some big jumpers in this one ... and that late three by Ray was amazing!

That's an exciting building in Utah ... nice to see that they're so into hoops out there, though there's quite a few Celtics fans there, too. Not a huge market for professional sports, but they love their Jazz. Nice to see Al playing so well ... I still hope we get him back someday. ;)

The stats were pretty even right down the line in this one, except we shot the three at 7 for 15, and they were 1 for 7. Exciting game, and a great win to end this tough road-trip on. It would've been nice to come home 4 and 0, but we'll take the one ugly loss and a 3 and 1 record against very good teams. KG is looking as good as he has in many years, and Ray and Pierce are playing like they're ten years younger ... it really is a renaissance year for the Celtics.

rondo looked like himself again
davis continues to look like nate robinson  ???
krstic looked like an all star in the 1st quarter
anyone notice raja bell and ray allen REALLY going at it, play very chippy
green looked good
wafer briefly did a nice job as well
the ROOK!  Bradley finally looked like a rookie in the nba instead of an overwhelmed hs kid

maybe he means play with the starting lineup?
