Next you'll be saying we don't  have to score more points than the other team to win. We  need a big who  can  board  and  clog the middle if we want to go  deep in  the playoffs.

9 for 17 from three points...better defense but they need an inside banger for games when the outside shot is not falling. Good to see Paul driving; this thing were Doc was trying to turn him into Ray was stupid. KG took over the game the last five minutes and we won.

In response to Celtsfan4life's comment:

Sully has more points than Bass, half the rebounds in half the minutes.  

In response to breaktime's comment:

Don't be insulting.  I would never say such a stupid thing but maybe you would.

Great finish by KG. Huge win.

Pud

Good night, fellow fans.  See 'ya next game.

In response to Celtsfan4life's comment:

That's not true. The only time the Celts won a championship was when they were a good rebounding team.

In response to Celtsfan4life's comment:

Didn't mean to be insulting.  Just sarcastic.  No offense intended.

Bass really needs to go.

Also, it's not true no team would want Jeff Green.

Lee is expendable.

Just stay afloat until Ainge get that big.

A Celtics win (over a quality team) followed by a soon to be Lakers loss!!

Life is GOOD!!!!!!!!!!

In response to Fiercest34's comment:

Green has to do it in several games in row. It is called being consistent. 

In response to concord27's comment:

Agree.

But it's not true that he has no trade value. He's just not getting enough minutes.

Green looked good on offense. Better on man defense, but still standing around under the boards. Look like his game is still coming back to him.

In response to Fiercest34's comment:

I agree he only had 24 minutes.  Pierce took 16 shots and Terry took eight. Terry was 6-8 they need to get him more shots. Especially in the 4th period. Terry is much more complete player at 35 than Ray is now.

In response to concord27's comment:

200% true!

Good WIN!!!!!!

In response to jdm894g's comment:

Come on, that's prince Kobe you're talking about!

Bass misses Ray Allen the most. Ray created a lot of space for Bass (and others) and Bass can make uncontested 16 footers but his jumper is far less reliable with a hand in his face.

In response to futbal's comment:

True that.

In response to Fiercest34's comment:

What about starting Green and Pierce together and having Bass come off the bench?

I missed this game.  I'm gonna force myself to stay up til the rebroadcast though cause i wanna see westbrook and durant and perk.  I'm still reserving judgement on the Celts, I'm totally certain they will be FINE when the playoffs roll.  They're built for a marathon and have parts with which to acquire other parts.  I believe Gortat would look good in green.  Or Big Al.  And yes concord, Terry is a much better player at this point than Ray Ray.  I love Ray Allen but I'm not sorry to see him go.  Thanks for your service Ray and helping with the banner and I'll always root for you except against the Celts, but c-ya!  You WILL break down and it will hamper the Heat.

Here's a thought:  how about Pierce off the bench?  Start Green and play Pierce at 6th man for instant offense.  Then switch back courts and step on the gas with Terry and Barbosa next subs.  Think Pierce's ego could handle it?  (Y'know, take one for the team, for the team.)

Peace and love, Happy Thanksgiving all

In response to concord27's comment:

I don't like the idea of Green at the 4. Just start Green with Bass, KG, Rondo, and Pierce. Doesn't matter who plays SG.

The only reason why the Celts won tonight was because their 3-balls were falling. If the Celts didn't have a great shooting night, 52.9% from 3pt land, most probably the Celts would have lost this game.

Ainge needs to add a big who can score inside, not just rebound. 

Again, having a big that can score inside opens up the shooters. The Celts will be able to play inside-outside basketball. Relying heavily on outside shots will not get you far in the playoffs.

strong win against a quality opponent. impressive!
