And let's KEEP JJ in the starting lineup with Horford. Al is soooooo much better as a 5 than a 4, and JJ brought much needed energy and quickness to our big rotation.

I really loved the big rotation tonight, because Al and Amir never played together and were always with shooters KO or JJ, or even smaller.

We've played very, very good every time we've had that lineup this year. There's no excuse to keep Amir in there anymore.

IT just got a lot of love on NBATV in his interview.

Nice to see isiah Thomas being so proud of IT, and seeing IT be appreciative and respectful to his almost namesake and advisor.

Great stuff!

Underrated storyline - +18 in rebounding. Biggest margin in a LONG time.

Bad news, though - Horford seems to have pulled a groin muscle tonight. We might not see him Friday against Orlando.

Ugh.

Oh well, we should be able to take down Orlando at home.

This team has momentum. And we blew them out earlier in the season without IT.

Play Milwaukee the next night after that, though.  :(

That's the worst news.

All I ask for BB gods that keep the Celtics healthy in the playoffs.

Was at the game to tonight. Place was ready to explode in the 2nd with all those garbage calls. But the team wasn't playing bad.

The fourth quarter was sweet redemption and the crowd went nuts the last few minutes.

Best game I've been to hands down. Great win.
The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.

It will be interesting to see how the "The Celtics can't beat top teams" threads will spin things after this game. They already counted OKC over Utah and the Grizzlies, now will they ignore Houston, too?

Great to get a win though, I needed one after the week I've had
I'm bitter.
