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

They are.
The question really is why they're so horrible.
The lack of a real center?

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

also Mozgov when Javale Mcghee is ready

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

So far. Denver may run them out of the arena at this pace though.
True. We were ran out of the arena by the Kings though. That was embarrassing. Other than getting killed on the boards I think we should stay in it.

You can't call that a shooting foul after not calling the one on Rondo.

Who would you rather take the ball up the court?
Ray or Avery

if they are the only two guards out there I think I'd rather have KG take it up the floor

I think he actually might have better handles than both, so great choice.

Bradley really is a horrible passer. Most of his passes end up either way too far behind someone, or too far in front. He's just all over the place with them.

The Celtics don't need to win the rebounding war to win games.  They just need to keep it close and not get out-rebounded by double digits.  A rebounding anchor for the bench unit could close the gap considerably.

These are the games where we need a real backup pg.
