Bass baby.

Yes!

[GronkSpike]

Put MP in for Ray. Bass is ballin'

[Larry for 3]

Brandon Bass is taking this game over.

If Doc sits Bass again in the 4th Q, he needs to be fired, immediately.

[Neurotic Guy]

Get this back up to 5 now.  Give KG a decent rest without losing much off the lead. 

Come on C's.  Gut this out.

Bass and Rondo need to play the rest of the game, I dont care about rest, they are in their 20's. Play them the rest of the game, and if Doc benches Bass im done.

[mctyson]

It will be all hands on deck for the 4th quarter...this is a game 7 for the Cs

After what Ray did to help cause that backcourt violation there, I don't ever want to hear people say Ray's defense is bad again. He prevented the quick cut to the basket, he prevented the initial easy shot. He's doing a [dang] good job on defense right now.

His defense has definately picked up as the game has gone on thankfully.  Offensively though he's still a mess.

I don't think his defense has hurt the team tonight. But his shooting rhythm looks to be totally off.
Then again, it won't get better if he doesn't continue to shoot.

I don't know how this game will end, but this game is as sure a sign as any that (not blaming Bradley in any way, he has been fantastic for us) that Bass absolutely needs to stay out on the floor late in our fourth quarters. And that can't happen, it seems, while Bradley is in the starting lineup, because it goes without saying that Doc will keep Ray out there, and he should.

Doc just needs to make the right adjustments at the right time etc.

[Atzar]

I don't understand the Ray hate in this thread right now.  He's been really effective on defense today, even though he has missed a couple of jumpers that he usually makes.  Can't be mad at him.

[Neurotic Guy]

Greg -- nice feed.

[gar]

Someone needs to remind Ray Allen that he cant shoot.

One of the more ridiculous comments on a very humorous board, You guys should listen to (read) yourselves. I was bouncing around and it is hilarious how the tone changes from quarter to quarter. There used to be a lot of very informed and thoughtful people commenting on this board. Need to have a level head if you expect the players to.

[Neurotic Guy]

Brandon.

Brandon.

[bruinsandceltics]

Ray Allen can't even walk.

[CelticSooner]

When Rondo is on he is freaking awesome.
