I'm interested to see Brand healthy and how Lou Wil has adapted to playing as a real PG. He's done well thus far but hasn't faced a good defender/defensive team like Rondo and the B. Celts.

Turn this into a half court game and make them shoot jumpers. We need to play much better than against the hornets if we want to win in Philly.

Hopefully Rondo shows us that he deserved the contract extension by having a good game.

I hope it doesn;t turn into a half court game. Otherwise this game is going to turn ugly!!!

C's just have to keep the D up to par and this will be # 5............C's by 7

Good test. Very athletic team minus Brand. This is not a game were you can expect to win without playing very well.

I think this will be the toughest game for the Celts so far.
Philly is playing at home and they are not that bad at all. Boston might underestimate them, altough its not their mentality to do so. Still, Im sure they are not as much pumped for this game as they were for example against the Cavs on opening night.
So be aware, I expect a really close game, maybe even OT.

I agree it could be a let down game. Philly has played us tough the last few times we've played them. I really hope we get this win. I think this will be a really tough game. KG should have a big game, so should Rondo.

Also, for the Wed game against Minnesota, this will be the first time KG ever plays at the Target Center as an opponent (as long as he doesn't get injured against Philly) because the last two years he was injured when we visited 'sota. I'm pumped for that game. I hope KG isn't looking ahead to Wed, but he's normally not that type of player.

I dont see this game being all that close. Lou Williams has been lights out so far shooting 63% and his assist to turnover ratio is about to 8-1 atm but i think Rondo will bring him back down to earth. Speights is the other guy who jumps out averaging 17 and 7 in only 23 minutes, good test for sheed and williams, though they should abuse him on the other end of the floor.

i see a comfortable win for the C's by 10-15.

Look what I found on the internet--

[BIG EDDIE]

Haha, really nice picture you found there! Especially Perk looks just like in real life with his head in front of his chest. Like a huge turtle LOL
Perk is a funny dude if you ask me, his serious facial expressions make me smile at times.

All faces beside Ray's are really good. I think that will be a very difficult match. Philly has very nice defense and I think we are prone to good perimeter D. If we don't get open jumpshots (and hit them), we could have trouble to get to the line consistently and/or score in the post. Granted Philly wasn't coached very good in the first games, but that may still be our only achilles heel and the Sixers have the weapons to exploit it.

Rondo is the key. If he slows down the pace and still gets a nice offense running, then we're good.

[MyInsatiableOne]

We should blow 'em out!! C's by 15...

[DorfonCeltics]

From the box scores it looks like Louis Williams has been playing some real good ball. He's averaging 20, 5 and 5. I'd like to see Rondo lock him down a bit. I do think this game is going to be our toughest so far. If I recall correctly, Philly played us pretty well last year.

I believe the 76ers scored 141 points last game. I'm going to go out on a limb and say they won't be getting that tonight. Celtics by 9.

They might not score half that tonight.
