I will say, I barely even watched the New Orleans game...Saturday night me and the lady watched a movie and had a nice fancy dinner..and it is no coincidence that it was on the second day of a back to back. I only got to see the last 2 minutes (which I hear was the best 2 minutes), and that was almost by design.

But tonight, I am emboldened. The weather is awful, my macbook pro just died, and for some reason my ipod won't turn on..but sue me, I'm keeping positive.

Tonight I'm thinking the Celtics come out sharp...I'm thinking the starters come out executing and the bench plays with a spark. I'm thinking Rondo has close to a triple double, and Jeff Green has another excellent shooting performance.

Maybe its the paranoia and frustration of getting dumped on by snow in late March (WINTERR!!!!! *shaking fist*), but if the Celtics lay a stinker tonight, it's going to be more a blind side than Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw adopting a 15 yr old poor homeless kid because they love football and doing nice things.

Chin Up! Who's With me!

I don't want to try to predict how the C's are going to come out tonight, because I don't want to set myself up for disappointment if they don't come out strong...but the NOH game was definitely good to see. Even though it took them a while to click, I think they were working harder than they have recently all game long, and I hope that will carry over.

  Chin up, or are you going with the Glen Davis "chin jutting forward" look that he gets when he makes a big hoop?

I'm really anxious for tonight.  It's a pretty big game (as far as regular season goes) - both teams have been really underachieving the last couple of weeks and are going to want this one.

I'm expecting a playoff atmosphere

Better thoughts going into this one than few day ago, for sure.  Knock on Wood.  

I'm hoping that ..just maybe ...Doc is about to melt the two line ups into ONE team with a new stronger identity of roles. He has had to work OT to keep a starting team winning and working hard , all the while building a new bench out on the floor core /second unit.

Taking this mixed bag of talent and personalities and injuries at this point in the season molding them into a playoff team has been nothing less than amazing coaching.

Jeff Green may have ample opportunity to show off his firepower tonight ...maybe just go off on them .

I believe tonight might be interesting insight of things to come ,till we get our centers back (the final step).

Lets go C's !!!!!!!!!

there is no excuse if we dont come out sharp on offense. the knicks are just terrible on defense these days. pierce might struggle tonight because of guarding melo, so others will step up. i see krstic overpowering the middle when hes on offense and having a strong game. im excited to see green d up melo.

Isn't Melo easy for Pierce to guard because Pierce knows what Melo will do? Pierce is strong and Melo cannot overpower him.

Amare is the bigger problem, because he is so quick and always on the attack.

That does sound pretty awesome. I'm gonna be rocking a growler of Dogfishhead 90 minute IPA tonight.

I'll be walking in with my chin up, but only because my head is still rocked back from all of the uppercuts lately.

the celtics always get up for good teams...and while the knicks record might not suggest it, they do have alot of hype from having billups, melo, stoudemire..

I also expect our bench rotation of West, green, davis to come up big again...and for Pierce to have a big game. he never has 2 bad shooting nights in a row usually

Sometimes, going in with your chin up isn't such a good thing:
