Boston Celtics/Denver Nuggets: 11/7/07 - Open Game Thread

by Jim Weeks on Nov 7, 2007 5:31 PM EST in Green Bandwagon

There is a lot riding on this game. The Celtics look to remain undefeated on the season. The TD Banknorth crowd has to prove that opening night was not a fluke. And most importantly the Nugg Doctor has thrown to the gauntlet. After a few e-mails he challenged me with the following,

"How about we settle this entire "BIG THREE" thing once and for all!?!? Whoever's BIG THREE out performs, (and I mean the sum of all the points, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals with turnovers counting negatively) the competition's big three has to refer to the winning team's BIG THREE as "The NBA's REAL BIG THREE" in their game recap."

Now I'm not crazy about calling Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. I prefer triumvirate. But I'm also competitive. So as much as I respect the Nugg Doctor I really want to win the little bet of sorts. Ultimately the game matters most. But why stop at that?

The Cooz!

I just fired up the DVR and boom the Cooz is in the house. Somethings to look for with the Bob Cousy experience players.

Tommy Heinsohn really defers to the Cooz to the point that he is almost not the same guy.
The Cooz is always pretty negative, though not necessarily without reason. Should be interesting to see how he feels about the new look Celtics. He did use a bit of sarcasm in the opening segment, talking about the team going undefeated. He might go the sarcasm route.
Cousy just does not know a lot of the players in the league.
He struggles with pronouncing players' names.

Green Bandwagon: Celtics '08 or bust. Are you on the bandwagon?
