It's sad to say this (being from Rhode Island and despise how most of my friends/family are Celtic fans) but... the way we've been playing lately, I don't think we stand a chance against Boston. If Utah somehow proves me wrong and beats them, I will happily be able to laugh in everyones face (especially since I'll be watching it with some Celtic fans). PLEASEEE!!!

I think you mean 5:30 Mountain.

It would be just like this team to beat an actual good team now. I won't hold my breath.

[JazzFan4Life18]

Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst.

Wouldn't it be just like the Jazz, though, to lose to the Wizards and Nets and then turn around and beat the Celtics? I hope that's the case, because I don't like our odds in at least two of the next three games (@ Philly, @ LAL, vs SAS)

[BarneyGumble]

This one will be over in the first.... hope I'm wrong.

If this is the same old story from the past couple seasons, we will win this one and lose tomorrow...Playing to our opponents level is what we do best.

[DiscoLives4ever]

If we lose this I'm blaming it on the second thread popping up after I posted the good luck picture in the other one....

[Neon Black]

Rondo is damn overrated.

Rondo is damn overrated.

I don't think so, if anything he is underrated. IMO, the five best point guards in the NBA are Rose, Williams, Rondo, Paul, Wall in that order...

[Sloanfeld]

Do the Celtics still blow a lot of big leads? I smell an ugly one tonight.

[Reckless]

Please jazz win, i've felt like Nicolas Cage watching these games

Wow, this is like the second time I don't get the Jazz broadcast on league pass broadband and it has be against Boston. Yuck.

[Ern III]

Jefferson is killing us. Once again. To whit: Commits a foul on their first possession; didn't get to the requisite spot to properly execute our first possession; offered no resistance to Shaq as he made a bucket for Garnett on their second possession; threw a pass hard against the backboard for a turnover; hung around in the same spot the possession after his easy finish, forcing Kirilenko to drive baseline into yet another weak layup; allowed Shaq to break out for an easy dunk before this timeout...

Later on: was nowhere for the KG-to-Davis backdoor layup; despite having prime position, didn't even go up to contest their offensive rebound that led to the Pierce three-pointer... all of a sudden it's 12-27.

Get off Al's dick, he is doing ok, hell at least he tries to win and is visibly upset after losses.

I mean we know what to expect from paul and he has been fuc king sh it the past month.

If we dont lose by 20 i consider it a win.

[MeestR]

same ol'. same ol'.

[edfmx86]

****, sometimes i feel more relaxed when Watson is running the team

[yonexpro1]

Why is it that the past 4 or 5 games memo has been rolling instead of popping? the only reason he is a threat is for his shooting and he is going away from it.

Oh by the way

Earl watson runs the team > deron williams runs the team
