lol thats the great thing about sports when one ends another begins, Celts will probably win the east again but not 66wins like last year, i think they are gonna miss Posey alot in the playoffs, injuries aside they should be where the redsox just were defending their championship in the eastern conference finals with a chance to move on and probably play the Lakers again.

The TRUTH!!!!!!!

the guy is simply amazing.

got to enjoy him why he's playing, it's a real treat to watch. If he's not already, Pierce could go down as a top 5 and maybe even 3 Celtic ever.

He often acted like an idiot when he was younger, we all do, but now his approach to the game is truly something special.

The guy bleeds green and is a true Celtic.

Being an All-Pro every year and being on losing teams for 10 seasons can make one act like an idiot.

Pierce is a great all around player and he is the perfect teammate for Garnett.

There are several championships there.

Old school players both.

wow high praise jim, several championships would be nice

....and for all my praise of Paul, what does doc do? Takes him out of the game from 7:30 in the fouth down to like 3:15. At the time he was rolling as he often does late 3rd, early part of the 4th. :jaw: The guy just put the team on his back two days in a row, he's consistently fantastic in the 4th.....why sit him?

Outside of blow outs where the Celtics are on the winning end, I think Pierce should play all 12 minutes in the fourth quarter every game.

Give him extended blows early in the game, but the guy has to be one the floor in the fourth and the first option on offense

He rarely disappoints in the clutch

17-2

9 straight wins. This team very well might be better than last years squad.

Yeah, but Lebron's team got better, too. I think it's a toss-up as to which team is more likely to make it to the NBA finals. I think the big difference this year is how much Rondo has improved. The Celtics advantage is defense and that's somewhat negated in the playoffs when the other teams pick it up and start playing defense, too. Don't forget how close the Celtics were to being knocked out in the playoffs. It wouldn't surprise me to see that happen again this year.

Goin for 20 in a row Xmas day, unreal i thought they wouldnt be as good with losing posey , will they win 70 i dunno still have the texas triangle and a tough western trip, they will cool off eventually and LA is seeking some revenge probably 68-14 ish which isnt half bad lol.

I watched the replay this morning since it's refrozen crap up on the hill and I'm planning to get maybe one or two runs at crack o' noon. The game wasn't even as close as the score. After back-to-back losses, the Celtics were pretty focused.

They were great last night no doubt, but unfortunately for them to beat the Lakers in a playoff series, Rondo is going to have to put his ego aside for the team and being comfortable with reduced minutes.

Against teams like the Lakers with 3 shot blockers on the floor (Bynum, Gasol, Odom) Rondo's game is a liability because he simply can't shoot. When he drives against most defenses a perimeter defender will collapse into the lane to help. The Lakers don't have to do this with Bynum back there, so there are fewer open looks for perimeter shots AND he simply can't get to the bucket as easy. I would play him less, and House more against teams like the Lakers and have Pierce bring the ball up and run the offense through Garnett in the high post. Playing this way is useless when you have Rondo on the floor as he can't shoot, so his defender doubles off of him, making open looks for Pierce and Allen harder to come by. Having House out there prevents that.

Last I checked, no important NBA games are played in December.

So im at work last night at 630 i look up and whos standing in front of me Doc Rivers.. Good guy i forgot he has a house and lives in winter park in the off season. He really misses Posey's presence for freeing up the rest of the offense. Then i go around the corner and 3 magic players are having pizza and across the street at Beluga for those who know the area Patrick Ewing is pulling in with his black land rover. Last week rashard lewis of the magic was at my work and chip carey the braves announcer was also in here, i dont think ive seen this many famous people in 20yrs up north, the cities are too big, down here theres not alot of places to hide and very few ritzy i wanna be seen at places except winter park

Without KG I have no illusions of the Celtics winning the title, but god damn they're playing with the heart of a championship ball team.

The Bulls series is in anyone NBA fans' top five of all time best series and this Orlando series is no joke either. Down 14 with five minutes to go........the CELTICS WIN!

 

[Johnskiismore]

Holy crap, I was so happy about the Bruins I totally forgot to switch over to the Celtics!

Great news!! For this I will have more: :beer:

 

[Rushski]

Almost gave up on the Cs last night... Glad I stuck with it and shows that experience can beat youthful exuberance in the end.

09-10 Squad is DEEP

they've played downright sloppy in the first two games, yet beat the Cavs in Cleveland for the first time in 5 years last night and are KILLING the Bobcats tonight.

If this team stays healthy, it's the best of the KG era no doubt
