Rebounding is so pitiful almost a pain to stomach.

Yuck. We aren't winning this game.

I know people might kill me for saying this, but I think JJJ could actually help us.  His length and athleticism would definitely help us on the boards.  It's a shame that he can't get off the bench.
JJJ has looked good on the offensive glass but very weak on the defensive glass (which is common for most young big men -- athleticism more of a factor on the offensive glass, fundamentals more important on defensive glass and JJJ's have looked well dodgy in his limited playing time).
Exactly why he should be out there developing and contributing.

Over/Under- Faried 15+ rebounds
Over

Despite the number he had in the first quarter, I will go ahead and take the under.

EDIT: If you knew how to set over/unders, you make it 14.5 or 15.5.

I certainly would prefer to see him out there than those small ball lineups that have Bass at center, Pierce at PF and Pietrus at small forward.

Could have fooled me with that sense of urgency last night.

KG is the only one who showed a sense of urgency last night. He shows it every night. They should have asked Paul or Rajon

Thanks for the advise. I really don't know how. LOL. Makes sense though. Another TP!!!! :)

KG the only one with big cajones and that has been manning up. The rest of the team took there foot off the gas once the trade deadline was over.  >:(

Energy level is higher tonight. I wouldn't count us out of this one.

I'm following the game play by play on Yahoo (I really feel disgusted by fans who can watch all the games but don't).  How does it look having Rondo and Bradley on the floor at the same time?

Denver's bench is incredible - Andre Miller, Wilson Chandler, Al Harrington plus Chris Andersen, Kosta Koufos, Corey Brewer and Rudy Fernandez.

So far. Denver may run them out of the arena at this pace though.

Celtics got to be the worst rebounding team in the league.

I liked it. Both guys were running well and pushing the ball. Rondo had a nice alley oop to Bradley on a fast break. Good defensive pressure too.
