Celtics (35-25) at Bobcats (7-49) 4/15

[Who]

PG - Rondo vs Augustin - advantage Boston
SG - Bradley vs G.Henderson
SF - Pietrus vs D.Brown - advantage Boston
PF - Bass vs Mullens - advantage Boston
C  - Stiemsma vs Biyombo

PG - Dooling vs Kemba
SG - Moore vs Carroll
SF - Sasha vs R.Williams - possible advantage for Charlotte
PF - JJJ vs DJ White - advantage Charlotte
C  - Hollins vs Diop

I think the Celtics are still in pretty good shape. I'd expect them to win this game.

Kemba Walker looks the main danger man for Charlotte. Very streaky but explosive. Dangerous. If he had a big game, it could make things tough for Boston.

So has Daniels really fallen that far off the radar?

[Who]

I am thinking Kemba Walker will see extended minutes in a small backcourt alongside DJ Augustin since the Celtics have a small backcourt themselves with Rondo and Bradley. Then slide Gerald Henderson over to the three.

PG - Rondo vs Augustin - advantage Boston
SG - Bradley vs K.Walker - advantage Boston
SF - Pietrus vs G.Henderson
PF - Bass vs Mullens - advantage Boston
C  - Stiemsma vs Biyombo

I'd expect Bradley to frustrate Kemba and force him into a lot of low percentage shots. Good chance Kemba shoot's Charlotte right out of the game.

If Charlotte brings in DJ White for BJ Mullens, that could even out that PF battle.

Appearently so ... completely forgot the man.

Slot Marquis in there instead of E.Moore and give the backup SG battle to Boston.

[Senninsage]

I may be overreacting, but we should not look past this Bobcats team. We are by no means guaranteed to win this game. We haven't won anything until we go out there and win it. It's the same exact way we underestimated a severely depleted Raptors team. Fact is, the Cobcats are still an NBA caliber team.

They are not to be taken lightly. These Celtics need to come out and play as if they are playing one of the league's most elite teams, and anything less than that could prove disastrous for them.

[SHAQATTACK]

this "JUST " might be the game that DA and DOC examine closely to see who will get contracts and stays on the team .

This "COULD" be a break-out game for JJJ and /or Moore...its what they wanted.  A chance ...well here it is.

I'm looking for a big nite from Moore.

They don't play right, we could be the ones getting blown out.

[Who]

I'll be nice to JJ Johnson get some extended minutes off the bench.

I think he could have a big night off the bench tonight given Boston's shortage of scorers with Pierce, KG and Ray out + given JJJ's shooting ability, finishing around the basket and in the open floor. Good opportunity for him.

[azzenfrost]

I know that the Bobs suck. But I hope the C's don't do playground basketball and blow this one.

[jarufu]

I'm a little concerned that the Bobcats will have had more playing time together than this reserve unit that the C's are putting on the court .. still the Bobcats though.

[thestackshow]

No way we lose this game. With the Vets not here to "set the tone and play lazily" the young guys will be energized and use this game to prove to themsleves and Doc that they can play.

[CelticSooner]

Game will be much closer without KG/Pierce spreading the floor. C's have got to win this one.

Game will be much closer without KG/Pierce spreading the floor. C's have got to win this one.

We will win by 20.

Bradley and Rondo will take over this game.

I expect 25+ points from Bradley, him and Bass will basically be our #1 and #2 option on offense, with Rondo trying to feed them all game.

[Senninsage]

I think it's about time that Doc stops taking these teams lightly. Nothing is assured against these Bobcats today. I think there's a serious risk involved in not playing Pierce and KG. But then, our remaining team should definitely be able to beat the Bobcats, but I have strong concerns.

[LooseCannon]

I'm going to set the over/under for minutes played by JJJ at 10.

I predict that either Keyon Dooling or Ryan Hollins will score double-digit points in this game.

[Swoopz]

If Rondo's assist streak is gonna ever end, I predict it'll be tonight.
