gunna be a big test....perhaps a season barometer game...we gotta be competative

[PP 4 Three]

Hopefully the Celtics come out with a ton of energy, this is the team that stripped us of our Eastern Conference title.....at home.

[SonicYouth34]

Hmmm...they still start Shard at the 4 with Bass and Anderson on hand? Should be a good game

[BakersDozen]

do they really have an 11 man rotation?

[captain green]

damn I'm zoned in for this game I have a good feeling and that means good things..
If we play sloppy we get beat If we play crisp we win.
This is a must out rebound them game.
Go celts by 6

[SOUL]

do they really have an 11 man rotation?

With Jameer healthy its usually starting 5 + Barnes, Bass, JJ, Gortat, Anderson and Jason Williams.

Should be fun guys!

[BRUNiNHO91]

I'm usually pretty positive, but unless we play 100% better than the last 5-6 games, we will get stomped, at home by a team I hate very much. We need to stop their 3 pt shooting..if they are hitting their 3's it's a wrap. Should be one HELL of a game though. Looking at the Magic roster makes me wonder why they aren't undefeated winning every game by 40...they are **** stacked. 5 out of the 6 bench guys they have could all start for this team..and they are missing Nelson...WOW...
On the starting line up we should beat them though..Rondo should ABUSE J Will..Carter won't be able to keep up with Ray running around picks and Garnett should post up Lewis all day long. I would think on defense Pierce would cover Carter, and Ray would get Pietrus..because if Carter has Ray on him, he could go for 50.


Man I can't wait for this game.. can ya'll tell?

Looking at the Magic roster makes me wonder why they aren't undefeated winning every game by 40...

We've played one game with our starting lineup intact. We've had as many as three starters missing at a time, with several backups to boot. We even played a couple games with no power forward whatsoever, a position we're usually three deep at. Our starting point guard is now injured and it's still the healthiest we've been all season.

[Banks2Pierce]

Let's expose em for the poodles they are.

Howard has been getting into foul trouble virtually every single game this season. Too bad Perk's offensive moves are lacking...

Sheeds aint though...he might get some time at Howard

[Joselo16]

I just hope the refs don't try to take over the game by calling ticky tack fouls. Perks Offensive game may be lacking but he put up some good numbers VS Howard in the playoffs.

[SD2042]

This match is something worth looking forward to. For the Magic to win this game, they have to rebound well against the Celts and beat them from the outside knockin down their 3ball shots. Also they need to get the Celts pressure into TO situations. Otherwise, it should be a good game.

[BillessuR6]

We have been horrible in the last 5-6 games. If we play like that we will lose. Hopefully we can play some defense tonight but I am not counting on it...

Just defend Dwight one on one. We have the best defender in Perk and Wallace, so no double teams please. The last thing I want to see is them shooting open threes...Of course, it would be nice if Rondo isn`t sleep walking the ball up the court again, he needs to be aggressive...

[exculpatory]

I am hopeful we will come out with playoff like intensity - no passionless crap, no lack of D intensity, too many Js not in the flow of the game. Play like we did in Game 1 vs. Cavs dammit! These fluckers embarrassed us in Game 7 last year of EC semis - albeit without KG, GODDAMIT. I bet you KG is pacing his house tonight. Take it to the low post, Big Ticket, at least half of your possessions. Be super aggressive going to the hoop tonite, Truth, from the opening tip, Take your Js and 3s in the flow of an inside out game and in transition - as you mostly have been this year. Do not handle tonight, Ray Ray - spot up and shoot lights out as arguably the still best pure shooter in the league. Perk, be mean, block shots, rebound, avoid stupid fouls, play 1 on 1 tough D on Dwight, and make the motherfrigging bunnies RR and Truth create for you. And Rondo, run these **** off the court tonight - when you play that way NO ONE can match your speed and court vision on the move. If you start being passive and start walking the ball up alot, so they can and will double off you cause you cannot shoot a J, I will fly to Boston at half time and slap you. And Rajon, make at least 66% of your FTs, goddamit.

Show these motherflockers the 2010 world champions to be - and not the lackluster pretenders who have gone 4-3 after a great 5-0 start.

Make Joe Biscuit cry. Make the rest of us scream with pride and green fanaticism at our TVs!!!

DO IT GODDAMIT.

It is ironically a good thing that I have to spend half the day seeing patients and half the day writing a huge paper that I have been avoiding - to distract me. But when the clock strikes 7, I am having 2 glasses of wine (I usually hardly drink), and I am going to get ramped up. I have told my GF and my daughters to stay away from me and not even call me between 7 and 10.

Go GREEN forever!!!!!!!

[BillessuR6]

I wouldn`t want to be you patient today exculpatory...

[exculpatory]

LOL Birdman. My OCD and perfectionism will allow me to compartmentalize!

Birdman and everyone else, did I Ieave out anything important in my open letter to our guys?

[Kids Are Alright]

Wish Baby was healthy to man up on Howard, especially if Perk has foul issues, this is Davis' strength, IMO.
I wonder if KG's got it in him to take Lewis into the paint and do some damage
Rondo needs to play every quarter with passion for us to win.

[MyInsatiableOne]

C's will win this...by 10, of course

But I seriously think we will...

[Kefa461]

The C's will win tonight........by 7.




ps.....probably been forward looking to this game.
