Ya'll got this one in the bag, unless Howard suddenly returns from North Carolina, and our bench appears once again.

Also its a back to back in which none of our starters really played that many minutes so that shouldn't be much of an issue.

C's get 1 of the wounded back tonight so that should be enough to do the trick.......C's by 7.

8-)

Very important game with the Hawks breathing down the Celtics necks for the 2nd seed.

It would be a bit scary to face the Hawks in the 2nd round of the playoffs with the Hawks having home court advantage so the Celtics need to take care of buisness.

It's a home game. The C's are going to play like crap.

Then Scal starts growing his hair out and dating euro trash. Just kidding Scal's a family man.

Going to the game tonight. My friend works as a social worker at a kids home. They got tickets donated to them from the Cs and they had a couple extra. Get to watch the shoot around and meet a couple Celtics. Should be fun.

Cs lose by 10. Sorry. Not to pull a Joebiscuit, but they're at home against a quality opponent. I have zero confidence in this team at home, especially against a quality opponent.

Funny.

Dallas should be a good test. Let's see how are defense stacks up against a top Western offense.

I will remind later of your wrong prediction.

I watched DAL for a few minutes against TOR yesterday and they looked TERRIBLE! No excuse for a loss today...

BTW, I wasn`t entirely kidding about Scal shutting down Dirk. He did it to Josh Smith, obviously Dirk is a much better player but I think Scal can limit him... :wink:

C's win BIG. C's will bring it on MLK day and in a nationally televised game. People mistakenly think NBA teams especially the ones they like come to play at max effort each and every game. They do not.. (Hence the issues with so many statistics)..but that's off point.

We have quite alot of guys with african american pride on this team and they will play the A game I think.

Internet doesn't say anything about whether Pierce's stinger on that bum knee will keep him out...so I'm going for a win with the Capt and a big loss without.

I'd like to see some Bill Walker if the Capt is out, he looks like a player to me.

I think we'll lose this game.

Couple of things.

1. Celtics lost to a 3-13 bulls road team the other night.
2. No way the Mavs will lose and play that poorly two games in a row. Mavs will win by 8.

In fact I am not even going to watch the game because I already know who will win. I would rather spend my time playing MW2. Enjoy the game all.
