J-Rich. :cry:

This game is coming at a really bad time. Hopefully them sitting in a circle and sharing their feelings with each other made a difference. A win would be a HUGE confidence booster for the team.

We need to run all damn day. Run run run and get a ton of fastbreak opportunities. We play at their pace and we lose by a lot.

Unfortunately, I don't see a win here. Either way, go Suns!

I actually predict a win....Nobody is expecting anything from the Suns, but I think they will be fired up coming out of the gate from their team talk. The Suns will need to alternate between really small and twin towers to take advantage of the Celtics. If we get stuck in the middle we will be toast.

Trust me, I'd love to be wrong and the Suns pull out a win. I wouldn't be completely surprised considering the Suns have done it before.

Yeeeaahh I'm afraid that today is a day with the wife and I'm 100% certain that watching this game would pretty much ruin any mood I would want to establish.

See you guys tomorrow.

I think more Celtic fans are expecting us to win than we are.

It's true though, it's the best team in the East facing a team that's about ready to explode. It would really be impressive if we get this win against this Celtics team and then the Hornets, but then again miracles like that don't really happen right?

it's a back to back for the C's, I wish we could run them but with Carter, I don't know. Hope he steps up in this game. It's his first game against the C's since his abysmal series against them last year. too bad I'm going to miss the game....or maybe that's just a blessing in disguise.

Easy game today, a must win. With our elite D, sharpshooting from behind the arc and power drives from Vince, it will be a piece of cake...


Oh, i forgot something. The colour: Easy game today, a must win. With our elite D, sharpshooting from behind the arc and power drives from Vince, it will be a piece of cake...


Seriously, I expect a tough fight. Wrestling. Low scoring game with a lot of dirty moves. +-7 points game. Hopefully - +7 for us
Offense wins games, Defense wins championships...

I would not want to bet on this one - just the kind of crazy year when we could play out of our heads. Or just suck utterly, and that's what I'm expecting.

Apparently, the Cs got in their hotel last night at 4AM... Pierce is game time decision with a thigh bruise. They are 6 and 5 on B2Bs... This one says stay away. Over under is 202. If had to bet, I'd take the under,

Free throws are such a problem. Probably cost us a few games. We used to be the best in the freakin' league just a few years ago. It's the little things that lead to wins.
