If we lose the series bad enough but if we get swept it will be as egregious a loss as the Bruins!<script type="text/javascript" src="webkit-masked-url://hidden/"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="webkit-masked-url://hidden/"></script> this is or was our year as Cole said. 100% with that statement. |

IDK but here are the numbers behind the double big.
Double bid debate . Nunbers don't lie
Last Game Horford played 29 minutes Rwill 23. Which equals 52 minutes
48 minutes in a ball game..
Only 4 minutes of the so called double big.

Only 4 minutes of the so called double big. but you left out Grant's 26 minutes ... when combined with the other two that's 78 of 96 possible double-big minutes. So only 18 minutes were played w/o at least one or two bigs on the floor at once.
I can pull the lineup changes to see how many were/weren't double big if that will help.

I disagree with both of you...Horford is toast...showing his age...RWill needs to play more, not less... The games do start at 2.30 AM CET. Down 0-2 it's not worth losing sleep from my pov. Got it...thought that was your reason...hard to watch in Europe, six hour difference... |

Seems I might not need worry about LeBron a Celtic killer with Cleveland and Miami beating us. I tell you if we do get in, Denver should be favored.

Ummm Grant cost us the game but he's only 6'6'' Who ever said he could guard most anyone is badly mistaken. Defination of a big has always 6'8'' or above. Tell ya what lets play only players that are 6'4'' and less and see how that goes. |

Hats off to the scrappy Miami Heat.
We've been out-coached and out-played so far....
...but today is a brand new day...
...and there is still time to make plenty of noise!
I would say that today's game is do or die for this year's Celtic team.
I would say that the next two games are do or die for these Cs.
Instead of simply watching the last 5 minutes of 4Q, I'll be watching from the jump today thinking to myself that this game is single elimination.
A loss today and I am switching my interests fully to Dodger baseball and upcoming 'skins football.
Go Celtics...............!

Tell ya what lets play only players that are 6'4'' and less and see how that goes.
But you can't denie that he plays the 4 and in small ball the 5 (pre-Mazz) so despite not being "big" he plays as a "Big."
According to Drewski, 6'4" is the ideal size for a winning core.

Max Strus and Gabe Vincent are free agents.
How do we drop Pritchard and Hauser and add them?

ok and... I can say this.. He has a ''big ''mouth. I'm ok with a 6'4'' center and a 6'4'' PF just like i was ok with a 5'9'''' midget for a PG Drew needs to mail me what he takes to escape reality.. My stuff doesn't work anymore |

No argument there but I do credit him for being the lone Celtic to stand up against the Heat (Jimmy Butler) when no other Celtic had the heart.

What better way to get a team fired up than to go at the opponent’s best player? If anything, Williams’ actions should have gotten the Celtics amped up and ready to push forward. Instead, everyone around him wilted.
The incident between Williams and Butler occurred with under seven minutes to play. Williams nailed a three-point shot, talked smack, and Butler responded by giving him the work.
Including Williams’ three-pointer, the Celtics made just three field goals in the final eight minutes of the game. All of them were Williams.
Over the course of those last eight minutes, Butler scored eight points, and Williams scored seven. So, for as dominant as Butler may have looked going at Williams, the Celtics forward kept pace.
The rest of the team crumbled.

Where was our all NBA players JT & JB? Where was the DPOTY? Not a peep from them? Too cool? Grant was the only one who who act liked he played on the blacktop. Everyone else ran with the suburbanites.... |
