wow 50+ replies BEFORE the game starts.

Anyways--people must be stone drunk to think AJ has any chance whatsoever at defending KG--nope. This is the same kid who almost fouled out in 10 minutes of garbage time a couple of games ago (legit or not, it happened).

Should be a great game though. I for one am unsure of this great advantage that CB has over Rondo--supposedly when Rondo came into the league he was great on D but couldn't muster enough O...so we'll see. I know he's young, but again, that was his claim to fame - defense.

Sheed vs KG/Duncan is always good though. Such smart players matched up and intense...I enjoy watching those matchups.

Their D is so good on paper that I don't think they have any obvious weak links. Rondo MUST be a solid defender.

Like we saw with Ben, KG makes these perimeter guys better by allowing them to cheat out towards the players they are guarding.

That's why we gotta get KG out of the paint. Having Sheed or Dyess (whichever one he's guarding) get hot on the jump shots at the beginning of the game could really help throw Boston out of whack.

Go back and reread the my post. I said that I would like to see AJ go up against KG tonight, knowing that KG would take AJ to school, (because it would be a measure of how well AJ's defense has progressed going up against KG)

The day assistant Tom Thibodeau walked into the gym was the day the Celtics got serious about winning. Thibodeau is perhaps the premier defensive coach in the NBA. He has coached defenses for 17 seasons, 14 for teams that finished among the 10 stingiest in the league.

"What he does is, he makes you beat them from outside," said Pistons coach Flip Saunders, who brings his team to Boston for a 7 p.m. game Wednesday. "They pack it in and take away the paint."

If Rip C-Bill Tay, Hayes, Sheed and Herrmann? can hit the tres tonight we should win provided we can do 3 things I mentioned in an earlier post of mine.

Coach changed Celtics' fortunes

Just trying to "play the right way"

By the way for those of us on the West Coast the game is scheduled to be started 2:30 hours from now. My computer says 5:30 hours.
