Cant wait, i am going to the game.

Any word on whether or not there will be some sort of ceremony for the last game of the reg season?

Nice to know there is more basketball to be played

[JJHondo17]

Too bad, I'd rather play NJ in the 1st round, at least there's some built up hostility there, (probably less now without Kidd). Just can't seem to get too worked up about Atlanta, although there appears to be a little feud building between KG and Horford.

This is what I came here to say.

Less since Kenyon Martin is gone, too. I'll never forget his classlessness when they beat the C's in game 6 of the ECF and he took his jersey off and started beating his bare chest RIGHT IN FRONT OF RED AUREBACH, who was courtside. I couldn't believe it and I'll never forgive or forget that.

Counting tonight, only 5 more games til the 2nd round of the playoffs. Paul's not playing tonight. I was hoping he would, but its not worth risking an injury for.

[MyInsatiableOne]

As the C's bench has shown, they can hang with the lesser teams no problem!

[Rocky5000]

No Paul, No Rondo, No Problem?

[rainking]

Rondo's definitely not playing tonight? Sorry to come onto your game thread with a fantasy question, but I am trying to figure out whether to keep him in my starting lineup tonight or not, and I figured C's fans would know if he was going to suit up or not.

Don't quote me, but I've heard he won't play tonight.

[EvadedHavoc]

If no-one plays an outstanding game i say Pollard gets a victory cigar

[xAIRNESSx]

Are the big three even playing tonight?

[The Rondo Show]

Edit: All 3 of the Big 3 are active, Rondo out, Cassell to start. Posey is out, as well. Per the Boston.com blog.

LET'S GO CELTICS!

I didn't mind Kenyon Martin. I respect the passion he brought against us. Byron Scott on the other hand I hated.

[Albanian Damien]

OMFG I hate my network. I live in New York so the Network the Nets usually play on is YES Network. Except they move to My 9 once baseball starts and YES give's Yankee games. So for some reason My 9 isn't giving it, as I side scroll I see Red Sox vs. Yankees on ESPN. So I assume that they are giving Nets instead of Yankees on YES. I was wrong and my league pass has all Nets and Knicks games blacked out in my area.

[SuperDeluxe]

A nice blowout tonight won't really bother me.

[foolio]

Does Lawrence Frank yell all game like that? That has to get old.

[Banks2Pierce]

This was a sad day for all of us the last two years.
