Boston Celtics @ Charlotte Bobcats: 11/24/07 - Open Game Thread

by Jim Weeks on Nov 24, 2007 6:06 PM EST in Green Bandwagon

I'm torn because part of me wants Doc Rivers to play Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce fewer minutes. But every time I look at the schedule I see a team I want the Celtics to beat. The Bobcats are no exception. Remember last season when they beat the hell out of Pierce in Boston, the Celtics blew a huge lead with the second team playing for most of the fourth quarter and there was an avalanche of tanking stories? That was not fun for anyone. And though Charlotte is playing pretty well (6-6 on the season) they are not in the Celtics' level. I'd like to see Boston take care of business.

Win

It wasn't pretty. And the Celtics should beat the Bobcats. But in the end they took care of business on the road. Good teams do that. Nice win.

Not having league pass prevents cardiac arrest

Truth be told, I'm almost kind of glad I just got to see the final score tonight and then read about/see what transpired.

It shouldn't have come to that (especially with no G-Force), but wow. Great work by Eddie and Pablo on the pick, and another huuuuuuuuge shot for Ray.

One more win and we'll be halfway to last year's total. How far away does 24-58 feel now? In some regards, that's the coolest part about all this.

Real far

And I'm really looking forward to the 13th win. That happened in February last year. February!?

Incredible, really

Also, if you get a chance, you may be interested in checking out my picks column (the feature known as The Picksix) over at Taking it to the Rack for Sunday. I've got a bit of a monologue about this Celts team at the beginning that I think fits rather well into this discussion -- and the overall perspective I'm taking with this Celts group this year. Just figured I'd let you know.
