Still haven't figured out this team's "identity" yet. Are they a fast break team, half court, something in between? Going from putrid offensive rebounding to 17. Doc deserves the patience of the year award. The ups/downs have to be driving him crazy.

The Nets got lucky in our last matchup. Even without Rondo, we made the last game competitive. I expect Rondo to put up a triple-double and us to win this game by 10+.

Celtics win by 20+, and TD Garden chants "BROOKLYNNN" when the Nets get fouled and go to the line in a blowout late.

Let's just get this win anyway possible. Blow out, close, help from the refs lol I don't care. This is a game that could really help our record obviously, but need to show up cause of the 2nd half from Orlando.

Saying Terry, Green, Bass play well & help the big 3 out a lot. Win this not too close like 8ish

Definite payback game for Boston; even without Rondo in their last matchup, the Celtics still held their own against the Nets. Brooklyn plays too much "hero ball" to be a good team, IMO, and I think that's what will get them into trouble. Boston needs to come out with a sense of urgency and put it to them for a full 48 minutes.

Another test for our defense, considering how good Brooklyn is offensively
If we rebound we should easily win, if not then no. It'll probably be close, but I see us pulling out the win.

On the topic of Brooklyn, I would love to have Reggie Evans on this team. We should've picked him up. Best garbage man in the NBA imo, always cleaning up the glass. AND inexpensive.

Anyway, I'm expecting a W tomorrow. We hung with these guys a few games ago with Rondo out. These NY teams need to know our hold over the Atlantic isn't going anywhere. Plus, they're coming off a tough game against New York and should be worn out.

Watched the whole Knicks/Nets game last night, and good Lord...that "BROOKLYN" chant has to be the single most annoying thing in sports. Nets make a shot, "BROOKLYNNN!" Nets get a rebound, "BROOKLYNNN!" Avery Johnson yells at a ref, "BROOKLYNNN!"

I just want the Celtics to beat the piss out of this team...

Reggie Evans and his rebounding is going to give us a hard time..

But we should win this game by 4!

Every game, I just hope we get some production from the bench other than Barbosa.
For the most part, I think a good Jeff Green game = win.

And of course, I want Rondo to outplay Deron Williams, because I can't believe some dumb people actually think D-Will is still better than Rondo even when Rondo has shot better this season and has basically done everything better than him.

Even though Rondo's played well, I think he should play fewer minutes to give the bench more opportunity to play well without having Rondo on the court.

LET'S GET THIS WIN.

Give Rondo the quadruple double. It's too easy

Just win this game. They did the division a favor by giving the Knicks a bump up in the loss column. Time to return the favor to Brooklyn tomorrow.

I dont care how they do it, just do it.

We need to get a win streak going. It's embarrassing that we are the 7th seed just above the Bobcats and 4th seed in the Atlantic. I know it's only like 15 games but come the **** on. I expect nothing less than the performance against the Thunder. We are fully capable of playing at that level on most nights. Not looking forward to Terry guarding Joe Johnson though. Might want to go to the bench early and play Jeff and Paul together at the 2-3.
