We made a board like this over on the Boston Bruins page, it has been a huge success. So i decided to make on for the Celtics.
I just want to start a one stop thread about everything Celtics!
Just trying to make one thread for those who post here regularly so we don't have to open 10 threads everytime we visit. Especially when a lot of the threads end up talking about the same things. Wouldn't it be easier to just go to the same thread everytime you visit and see all the posts from your favorite members all in one place? Just an idea.
To encorage this thread being used, I will Five Star and Favorite any person to use this thread with productive posts.
You can talk about anything, players, coaches, dancers, possible trades, the current game whatever as long as it is about the Celtics!

So who are you guys thinking is the number one challenger in the playoffs in the east. The 4 big candidates in the east are Cleveland, Detroit, Orlando, and Toronto.
Cleveland- A big wild card because James can explode at any time. But with how well the played defense on him the last game I dont think they can match us in a series.
Detroit- My pick for biggest threat, just because we know how physical they are. So they can where you down in a series
Orlando- Same scenario as Detroit but will likely be the #3 seed, so they will be knocked out before the Celtics could match up against them unless they reach the Eastern Finals
Toronto- Potential matchup in Eastern Semi's... I don't think they have the firepower to match the Celtics

So a game against Chicago tonight, the schedule makes tossed the Celtics a bone before giving them a brutal stretch. For the second straight game the Celtics will play a team that it on the second night of a back-to-back. The Celtics should be able to win tonight, although the Bulls have been on a small streak. It is only two games but the have won both by double digits. Chicago is right on the bubble for making the play-offs so they should be in "every game counts" mode. I'm hoping the starters can come out and lay the smack on the Bulls so we can get Sam Cassell and possibly P.J. Brown some low pressure minutes.
Also on the record watch. Kevin Garnett can reach the 20,000 point plateau tonight as long as he gets 23 points tonight. When he reaches this mark he will be the 32nd player in league history to reach the mark.
This was posted this morning on the Celtics Website:
Sam Cassell is expected to meet with reporters tonight before the Celtics host the Bulls at the Garden.
At this point, it's unknown whether Cassell will dress or play tonight, but we'll have more details in this space before tip-off.
Well... i'm gonna go watch the pre-game, the game is at 8 tonight

The way that Doc River sounded is that Sam Cassell might dress tonite, but will probably will not play. I havent heard if P.J. Brown will get any signifigant minutes, but i think the Celtics will be using alot of there bench from here on out now that they clinched the playoffs, so whenever Cassell and Brown are rready then they should be able to get some good time brfore the Celtics go into the playoffs. I think Pierce goes for 30 this game KG might get to 23 and Alen goes for about 16 points.

The two most difficult matchups that the Celtics have in the East are the Pistons and the Magic. The Pistons have a very good team oriented system where nobody is the standout go to guy as Richard Hamilton, Chauncey Billups, and Rasheed Wallace could be the team leader in points every night which presents matchup problems anytime, but the Celtics seem to have a bit of the same remedy with the big three so you know any game between them is going to be a good one.
The main problem with the Magic is trying to stop Superman Dwight Howard. every time the Celts have played he has just been virtually unstoppable and Kendrick Perkins can never even come close to being able to cover him and he is just too big for Kevin Garnett to be able to cover him for a whole game, so he draws alot of double teams which leaves players like Hedo Turkoglu and Jameer Nelson open on the outside.
I cant wait to see how the Celtics do in the playoffs this year and regardless of the outcome i think Danny Ainge has earned himself the executive of the year.

Just a note, I like what you are trying to do....keep up the good work....Garnett will get his pts. tonight....trust. At home with a feel good vibe knowing all our pieces are together (RIP Scott Pollard), and the possibility the news-but-olds may play (P.J. and Cassell), would make a great atmosphere for Garnett to get 20k.& | |
