Potentially a huge win.... Lots of lavoy allen man to man against garnett....

Prob gotta play a lot of turner and wright together for defensive purposes

[SMH!]

Read in an article that Monday against the Bucks is the target date for JRich to come back. I think tonight will be a really fun competitive game. Paul Peirce just always worries me..

[wannabGM]

Now that he's starting at guard, being defended potentially by the likes of Rondo and Lee, what is the over/under on post ups and 1 on 1 takes early in the shot clock ET gets?

I put it at 1.5.

[BChydro86]

He should get the ball constantly one on one against either of them in the post.... But they wont

[wannabGM]

Guarantee he runs a big circle around the high post more times than he posts up Rondo in the paint.

I will balance my negativity with something positive...Thad shouldn't be as useless against Boston this time, at his bigger weigh/strength. Ok back to the negative....I bet he gets double the posts and 1 on 1's combined than ET early in the clock in this game.

I'm usually an optimist with this team, but I'm not expecting a win tonight. We haven't shown anything yet this season that suggests we can beat Boston on their court.

[2-ONE-5]

but Boston hasnt really shown anything either. Their D is non existent this year so far.

Fair enough, I haven't really paid much attention to them so far besides their blow out loss in the season opener to the Heat. But at least they have all the pieces and parts there right now (except for Bradley, but yeah pretty much).

I hope I'm wrong. I just don't see a win tonight.

[2-ONE-5]

understandable seeing how were not playin good ball right now. They should be watching replays of game 7 all day long til gametime lol

[RickyPrior]

Most don't care about Game 7.

They weren't even on the team.

[2-ONE-5]

well our 4 most important players were. ET also had his best game of his career vs Boston last year

[RickyPrior]

what is that loser wearing on his head?
