Starting off the day with links and quotes.

Celtics misfire in fourth - The Boston Globe

"The only thing I told my guys I was disappointed in was that we went through a game with Ray Allen and he only got three shots,’’ Rivers said. "I thought all of the little plays were going to be the difference in the game, loose balls and offensive rebounds. I thought they won that battle.’’

"I didn’t think it was good,’’ Allen said about the ball movement. "It wasn’t consistent all night. We really didn’t score. We were down 8 so we had to score. I thought we did an OK job the last minute or two, but we didn’t score.’’

"No doubt about it," Jennings said. "Once that happened, I said, ‘Oh, yeah, it’s on now.’ " Said Celtics coach Doc Rivers: "I don’t think the foul was hard enough for a reaction. Honestly, I don’t think Jennings did enough for Baby to react. So it’s just two young guys acting up, but no big deal."

Green Street " Fast break: Celtics edged by Bucks

There’s probably no bigger fan of Andrew Bogut’s game than Doc Rivers. The Celtics coach has gone out of his way to praise the big man for his ability to shoot with both hands and use his body to create angles. Rivers may be a fan, but he couldn’t have liked what he saw Tuesday night as Bogut killed the Celtics with 25 points and 17 rebounds.

The Celtics and Bucks don't want your offense to run smoother. They want to beat you, defensively, because for all the famous and semi-famous that dot their respective rosters, the Bucks and Celtics can only win if they shut you down.

Who runs the Bucks?

They have put together a nice team. Bogut was just outstanding. Sometimes I’m mad at Celts D for giving a guy a good night but Bogut would have gotten those points off anyone. Salmons fits in nicely. Erysova…where’d he come from? Someone on earlier post mentioned Jennings’ cockiness. I thought so too and his defense wasn’t horrible. Delfino never played better.

All True

Salmons never played that well in Chicago. Delfino actually played some defense (2 steals – unusual). Bogut’s left hand hook, same as in the 1st game. Jennings giving KG a dose of the trash talk…

Bucks are super hungry and are bringing it every night. Hope the C’s can too!

doc is right about the litle stuff

I like baby but I thought his leaping up was bush league. Jennings is a punk, yapper no question and I had no problem with Glenn’s foul on him. It was a clean play on the ball. Jennings deserved it for standing over baby like that and jawing but Glenn has to be smarter in that situation. we’ve had way too many stupid, emotional plays like that this year and when we get to the playoffs it’s only going to get worse. after that play the bucks went on a run and we couldn’t do anything.
