Celts Beat Nets, Now 5-0

It was a no look to Eddie House after grabbing an offensive board, but it’s ok.

Also, Carter’s injury wasn’t ever announced as ‘cramps’. Sprained ankle, negative MRI.

I only wish Kenyon Martin, Keith Van Horn, Kerry Kittles, Aaron Williams, Lucious Harris, and Byron Scott were there to get their faces pounded in : ) (I may still be bitter about 02 and 03 ; )

When the Celtice do their pregame huddle chant Big Baby is always one of the most intense. I loved the preseason game where he went nose to nose with KG and was shouting, psyching each other out. He has a winners mentality and I think he is working his way into being the first big ( after Posey ) off the bench. Also found it interesting that Tanguay and Marshall both thought Leon would be the guy off the bench tonight.

Have to agree about BB. He was great, but he also gave Doc material by trying to take the ball full court. He lost it near the completion of his mission. Rondo didn’t finish the game well, but Tommy said it was a good experience for him. You learn by your mistakes. He could be left in there because he was “protected” by 4 vets. As to Ray Allen playing 48 minutes and KG and PP playing big minutes, I think the theory now is one game at a time. All these guys are in great shape and can handle it. Once they put things together I think we’ll see their playing time go down mid-season. This was an important game to win. And it wasn’t over till the end despite the score. These vets were able to take the Net’s ending punch and still make enough good plays at both ends (despite the refs) to finish. It’s important for the team to know they can do this and that’s worth more than worrying about minutes. Today they can kick back and mow the lawn.

doc gave the team an emotional lift by getting to the game which shows his great character and develops player loyalty.the small ball lineup with kg at center was grossly ineffective and put kg in a bad spot. come on doc- enough of that crap.

nazzbo, we won the game. Also, did you see KG guarding guys on the perimeter? And if the refs called the fouls the way they should have we would have had a 30 point lead in the fourth quarter and the coaches could have played. And one more thing, the worst spot for KG to be in is to be sitting on the bench. If KG didn’t think that he shouldn’t be on the floor whatever the situation then he shouldn’t be here and he IS here.

Like I’ve stated before, Doc should keep playing Big Baby. He will learn from his mistakes. He brings a good all-around game to the court.

The C’s played very well again tonight. Considering this was the 2nd game of a back-to-back, and the Nets are playing well also, this was impressive.

A little concerned about all the minutes the Big 3 are playing. I know we have some injuries on the bench, but I don’t understand why Pollard could not play some minutes so KG could rest. Pollard says he’s fine, so I’m not buying the injury excuse.

TrueGreen- kg is phenomenal on the perimeter and in stopping pick and rolls- the best i’ve seen of the current crop. i just want to protect him some from the bruises. and i don’t like the small ball stuff- perk was well rested.
