Let me be the first (and possibly last) to say, Ryan Hollins rules! It's the debut of big number 50!

Biggest game of the year?

So far I'd say yes.

Coming off a beatdown by the Sixers in the last meeting. For the division. For the doubters. Absolutely huge game for the Celtics on the second night of a back to back.

Tough game. Last game of the road trip and they played last night. Sixers are not a good match up for this team because they are young and like to run.

I think this team is going to get run off the floor tonight. Regardless they are 4-3 on this road trip and if they lose tonight they will be 4-4 which is not too bad considering teams they played and the amount of games in a short time span.

Forget the playoffs, forget the Atlantic division, forget the records, forget the back to back, forget everything. Play for your pride. These guys absolutely took our manhood last time we played them. They wiped the floor with us and humiliated us completely. This time it's about more than basketball..this time it's personal...bet your ass our guys are coming to play tonight.

Just do the opposite of what we did last time and we'll be fine.
