3-more days to Christmas? 

In response to Fierce34's comment:

Should not have been that close with Nowitski out and 29 turnovers by the Mavs...but your right.

Not sure why Doc can't adjust and go away from Rondo guarding Mayo and keep doubling with big man so far from the basket on a much smaller line up.  Inability to adjust at the end of the game really troubles me.  Also they need to pound it in on offense with only Marion in the paint.

In response to BCSP's comment:

I hope so!

HAHAHA

Interesting stats

Reb - Dal 50  Bos42

Turnovers Dal 27 Bos 13

KG minutes played 40

Pierce played horrible again.  don't understand why Doc even plays this guy.  We need to be passing the ball to someone else with 3 seconds on the clock,  i know there would be better results. Doc just doesn't get it.

7-3 at home..won 3 in a row till  now..

In response to BCSP's comment:

A game like tonight will not be remembered 4 months from now. What's important is the Celts keep improving.

Celts shot poorly, 43.0%, Mavs shot well, 51.1%, and the Celts still ended up winning.

In response to OneOnOne's comment:

had 32pts..but jus tlike Kome scoring 30 and slackers lose...lol..at least we got the win..Dallas is a gritty team, but we made it too close..Danny going to have to make some changes..need a low post presence for these games..other wise, we are toat in the playoffs..and another scorer would'nt hurt either..but i thought our guards gave up the middle way too much..like someone said, lee should have been guarding Mayo...of course AB would take that challenge on...

In response to OneOnOne's comment:

Well, he didn't have his best shooting game, but he scored 34 points and got to the line for 11 FT's. He was also fouled on one of those last second shots.   I wouldn't say he played horrible.  That might be a tab of exaggeration.

In response to Fierce34's comment:

They shot 51% because Rondo and Terry cant guard anybody...giving up lay ups left and right, and we settled for out side shots..Once they take away Green's drives, he becomes a wallflower..

In response to breaktime's comment:

KG played both OT's and that drove up his minutes.  After 4 days rest and in a game we needed to win, I don't mind him playing 40 mins.   He just can't do it every game.

Just get as many wins as possible. 

Last season we swept the Heat 3-0 in the regular season. But it was the Heat who got the wins that mattered in the playoffs.

This current Celts team is still a work in progress.

In response to Ortiz123's comment:

If there's any part of Jeff's game he needs to work on, its driving to his left.   After that, making his move sooner rather than holding the ball so long.  

Hard to believe this team Beat OKC rather handidly..

In response to Ortiz123's comment:

Bradley will be in Terry's place in a few weeks.

Doc is still trying to figure it out.

Green is still improving.

Hopefully the Celts will be a well oiled machine 4 months from now.

In response to Fierce34's comment:

And lest we all forget, this team had a WORSE record at this time last year......with a bench that wasn't nearly as good and a team that wasn't nearly this athletic.   We are not yet a great team, but improving.   Just need a big man (although I do like what Wilcox brings as a sub) and we need Bradley back.

Hang in there, fans, we are not as bad as one might think.   Doc seems to know how to make the team better in the playoffs.

In response to Ortiz123's comment:

On any given night.....

In response to Ortiz123's comment:

Celts shot 50%+ in that game against OKC.

Terry and Green didn't shoot well tonight. They were just a combined 8-26 from the field. The game would have been over in the 3rd qtr. if the Celts shot better.

In response to Celtsfan4life's comment:

True that.

The ideal is KG, Gortat, and Wilcox as the Centers come playoff time.

I wish they play more Wilcox with KG especially this game down the stretch.  Wilcox would have been more down low and closer to the basket.

Clippers and OKC will not allow La to the finals...We have Miami and NY..going to be tough sledding...

lets hope so..
