This game could do a lot mentally for both the team and its fans. If we can compete with this team and come out of it with a win, or be very competitive, I think it would be tremendous for our projection from here on out. The Clips pretty much destroyed us last time out. The thing I think will hurt the most is losing Sully for this game and the Laker game coming up. He was starting to really get physical with opposing players and we miss that. Hopefully Bass and others will continue the rebounding we have done recently.
Home court needs to start being a place that should be nearly a automatic win.

We are at home, early east coast game for west coast team. I like to think we have a pretty good chance.

I sure hope we pull out the win. Getting ready for the road trip and its going to be tough. The next few weeks are very important. We have the Fakers coming up as well and they are finally playing a little better. Of course their strength is our weakness, so it makes for a bad matchup. Unless we push the ball all game long.
We need to push it against everyone for the rest of the season, even after made baskets.

Thought? well, another test before we can say that this team now a complete group after Rondo.
At 10 games we can see the shadow of this team---but until then, hold your horses

Are you saying, Rondo proponents are rooting for a loss?

It will definitely be a good test for the Celtics today. The Clippers won the last game by a large margin so even if the Celtics lose by a few points, I will view this as a good effort. A win by the Celtics today would be great.

J. Green will continue to come out of his shell! Celtics will go above .500 today!

I agree, I just don't want to gut the team for a short term fix. Youth is the most important factor here.

Yes we did, but we have pretty much owned Miami at home for a while now. The Clippers are a different animal. That a lot of size which Collins, Wilcox will both need to use fouls on these guys, especially Jordan. We have to continue to run full throttle along with the defensive pressure. Lee and Bradley are the keys today. If they can apply the pressue the guards of the Clips and get us some easy baskets it would be huge. I think we will get a good look at Bledsoe today and see if has anything for us to get excited about in a trade. Last game he didn't look so good.

Agree with that, also Wilcox and Collins need to stop dunks using their fouls us.
We need a big game from Green.
It would be nice to see PP hit some 3's this game. I am thinking he has his 4th straight very good game. Would be nice if we can post him up against Butler and the ex Laker.

Just like the Ronjdo issue, you can't seem to grasp the obvious without it being spelled out to you. Watch the game, Stevie wonder.

It's cute you like following me around and saying "nema" and blabbling about the "rondo issue" but do you have any point about anything at all?
What an odd dude.
