One of only two teams the Celtics haven't beaten yet this season, along with New Orleans (whom we play on Friday).

I can't wait to watch this game!

It will be really hard to win this game. Our motto for tonight: "[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqqXMXpyAkE]We won

This is a revenge week for the Celtics. Two great opponents one on Wednesday(Suns) and the other Friday (Hornets). Hopefully we can take both of them, but who knows. I'm sure the Big 3 will be more motivated then they were Monday.

Will Doc want to win this game or will he still be tinkering with lineups? :-?

Hopefully tinker. This game is meaningless.

I want a win, though.

Anyone wanna bet that the refs completely screw us on numerous occasions?? I bet Rondo is called for at least 3 ticky-tack fouls, Shaq is allowed to camp out in the lane, Shaq and Amare are allowed to run over/through their defenders with no whistle, Pierce is continuously fouled with no whistle, KG and Ray don't get a combined 12 FTA (not including Tech's) and BBD and/or Powe foul out. Out of our 15 losses, at least 10 of them are because of the officiating. If this game is officiated fairly, we win easily.

Anyone else want to take a guess at when Tommy starts moaning about Cassell and lost tempo?

Last game I nearly fell over when he said House would "motor it up the court" as our PG. I'll agree Sam's looking a little rusty, but the guy's veering towards "hater" (god I hate the word hater)

My prediction: 2:38 left in the 1st quarter.

No just no. Blaming the refs is a stupid excuse. They lost most of those games because they were outplayed.

I bet that it will be poorly officiated game, and depending on the outcome of the game you will complain about it or ignore it.

What a flop by Nash. He went down to the floor even before Rondo touched him.

And please, not the same again. KG in foul trouble, Pierce ice cold.

KG is burning, and again picks up the early 2nd.

At least we take it inside tonight and grab the offensive rebounds. Good things happen when this is happening to the Celtics.

Amare is showing how good offense can sometimes overcome good defense. Perk is covering him well, always has a hand in his face and he is still finding a way to make shots.

Pierce abusing Giricek is also fun, easy matchup for us.

Paul is looking good. I hope KG hasn't cooled off too much.

Awesome hustle by Leon, draws the foul from his knees. Almost made the shot too.

I think the Suns coaches were applauding Leon's hustle.
