Celtics (14-28) at Heat (29-11) Game #43 1/21/14

[More Banners]

If stevens lets bradley shoot 5-20 I will start calling him an idiot

I know what you mean, but I'm pretty sure that Stevens has little control over Bradley's shooting numbers--sometimes the ball just doesn't go in the basket.

If AB is taking 20 shots, he's shooting for a contract by shaking the defense only label.

Contract year chucker.

98-97 Celtics

Bold Prediction

Another nail biter,

We win by 4, Rondo makes the winning plays.

Sully will have a field day with 16 rebounds

Jeff Green will get 30 points

somehow I don't see this as a bold prediction and actually quite feasible. Sully when given minutes is a beast on the boards, that if Bosh doesn't get him into foul trouble. Jeff Green usually plays well against the Heat. And Rondo as well.

hard to say how the celtics will play tonight. chances are they get their collective butts handed to them. but you never know.

about the only hope i can see is having sully go nuts under the basket along with hump.

but in any case....

goooooo celtics!!!

Wade is out. Judas starts.

Hope Bradley is inside his jersey all night.

Looking forward to it.

Wade only plays in games that require the firepower to defeat .certain teams or critical games .   Heat are saving him from court time much as possible.

This should be an easy win for them anyway.....requiring only TWO top 20 players against our lot of scrubs ,  rookies and has beens.


Fav played well in the first meeting ,   He was outstanding ,  and then just disappeared ........maybe he'll get to play tonight.


Maybe they will just not try since it is the Boston Celtics tank squad ......and it becomes a somewhat  close game anyways.

20/20 game for sully
30 pts for Bradley tonight.

Hey all, first time posting, at least that I remember, long time Celtics fan ( well, since early 90's so not THAT long), long time fan of this site.

Anywyay let me get my rant out of the way: I gotta say how very displeased I am with the NBA's way of ripping people off into paying for as many bogus media services as possible.  I am originally from New England, but moved to California in 2009, so I subscribe to League Pass to follow my beloved Celtics.  Tonight's game was scheduled for League Pass.  But because fans voted it as a highly anticipated game, it is now a blackout, and is only available for the 83 people who get NBA TV.  I was really looking forward to this game!!! Now I can't see it!  Add this to the growing list of technical difficulties I encounter with League Pass everytime I use it... ugghh it all comes down to money with the NBA.  I wonder if the new NBA commissioner will listen to public advice unlike the last one, though he did many wonderful things for the league obviously.

On to more useful talk... I can't wait to hear how Rondo does tonight (our first "national TV" Rondo night of the year!), and I really hope Sully takes it to Bosh and boxes him out all night (along with Hump, who has been so very solid most of this season).  Bradley better stay on Ray, and maybe Olynyk can get a few easy baskets.  Jeff Green seems to wake up for the big games, so we'll see about that too. 

Let me also say what a pleasure it has been to watch the C's this season, even though we ripped much of the heart out of the team last summer, the writing was on the wall, and it's been a lot of fun rooting for these youngsters.  Rondo = C's Captain for life!  Especially happy with Sully, Bradley and Hump this year, and Pressey has started to be very solid.  Love this site too, love all the different opinions.  Sorry for the long post, so... LET'S GO CELTICS! BEAT THE HEAT!!  DEFENSE!!!!!

Sheesh, said I've posted 26 times... either that's a mistake or I have forgotten a few things from my college years LOL!  Go Celtics.

[aporel#18]

TP for FLFan, for yet another great game thread.

Prediction: 10 assists for Pressey, 15 for Rondo, great game by Bass and Hump.

Go Celtics!

[SHAQATTACK]

According to Chris Webber ....Celtics should fold he club and move it o another city.....h is about negative against Boston as I can remember

[esel1000]

Tanking or not I hope we beat these fool just because of the dumb nicknames. King James? Grow up seriously hah

[Vox_Populi]

Greg Anthony thinks out of all the bad teams, we've got the best opportunity to turn it around.

Webber also more or less said if we trade Rondo this off-season, we'd be the worst team in the league.

[SCeltic34]

Judas didn't want to put the ball on the floor there against AB.  He knows he'd get eaten alive.
