Probable starters:

Rajon Rondo    PG    Jeff Teague
Ray Allen    SG    Kirk Hinrich
Paul Pierce    SF    Joe Johnson
Brandon Bass    PF    Josh Smith
Kevin Garnett    C    Zaza Pachulia

Interesting matchups all around no?

Doc Rivers has KG guarding Josh not Zaza... Brandon Bass vs Zaza

JJ Hickson is available, any interest?

Joe is a fine ballhandler but - as I've said for 7 years - when he's doubled, he puts his head down. Iso-Joe cannot work against the doubleteam.

Yet that's the call from the bench for down the stretch.

Well Larry Drew's neglect for the offense has cost us yet again. It absolutely sickens me that these anylists are giving him credit for all of our success, he's an absolute joke. HIRE MIKE FRATELLO

Oh my goodness, we just ran Joe through some screens for a jumper ... and, of course, he hit it.

Why we don't do that, instead of Iso-Joe....

Another'n. Get Joe an open shot and he's money.

We go on a run when Boston put Pierce at the 4. Too slow to penetrate and Airballing jumpers vs Josh and Zaza.

Problems with smallball.

We shouldve gone with a big lineup to throw them off.

After a timeout, our 1st possession is Joe going inside and Josh shooting the 3?

Man, we REALLY outsmarted 'em on that'un.

Teague is a weak no nerves having punk. I am done with him.

Teague's age showed on that air ball 3, we had 4 seconds IDC if Teague is wide open we should've at least tried to find Joe even with a hand in his face

If he had of passed up on that shot you and the rest would have been saying he should have not. That was a wide open shot Teague is weak minded and I am done with the little female dog.

Hilariously bad game from both teams.

Story of the game: both teams stunk through 3 qtrs. Then, BOS went on a run and we waited until it was a 17-4 run before we called timeout. By that time, BOS was cooking and kept cooking for a long while. We continued to play poor basketball until the very end, when BOS went small and we got every rebound. Counting them now, I see we got the last 8 rebounds of the game.

Bad Josh returned - for the 2nd game in a row (if I'm going to give him credit when he plays inside, then I'll have to blame him for thinking he's Ray Allen). He shot 6 inside and 14 outside. Odd note: he was only one for 6 inside.

Tonight's end-game run is more evidence that we're using Joe wrong. He shouldn't be asked to dribble-drive on the entire defense, he should be running around picks. Good grief, waste one of the NBA's best shooters by pretending he's Allen Iverson.

Fun fact: Josh had 10 points on 5 for 20 shooting, 11 rebounds and 8 assists. If he'd shot less and passed more, he could have had a triple-double AND we'd probably have won the game. Isn't it interesting that he stopped going inside right after the trade deadline?

Jus' sayin'

If he had found Joe for a good shot then no I wouldn't be saying anything, Teague is too young and too unsure of himself to be taking the final shot in that situation

Wow I wonder why Josh didn't score inside except for a hook on Brandon Bass.

Vs physical teams 3 guards needs to stop. Get some size and physicality. Games like these Smith is gonna shoot anyway. Get some post size and play for the offensive boards strategy.

Teague
Johnson
Smith
Ivan
Pachulia

I agree, about Josh. I don't like the guy. I try to cut him slack but he just keep doing stuff. I am not mad that he missing shots and continues jacking them. I am mad about him being so animated towards teammates such as Zaza and Jeff when they do something not so good. This team makes me sick from Jeff being weak minded to Josh being a self-centered punk that plays the blame game, takes bad shots, and even his assists are selfish instead of him giving the ball up he wants to make the play. What about a hockey assist or two Josh? Whatever I am not getting worked up about this misfit crew.

You don't know a thing about basketball. 4 seconds left on the clock, if he puts the ball down on the floor and they converge on Joe, then he is in the lane needed a 3. Why would he do that? That makes no sense
