thuis can be it. I can't wait for this game. Statement game by both teams today. I expect it to be close and hard fought

CNYSkinFan · #17 12-25-2008, 04:54 PM

good game so far...lakers and celts seem evenly matched...as always. The league is much better when the Celts and Lakers are both elite teams

halftime. not bad game. Celts starting 5 is stronger, Lakers bench is stronger. I would be very surprised if the Celts win this. Franchise win streak and best NBA starting record is already behind the,. They are on the west coast against possibly the second best team. Still they are showing fight and heart.

had to lose sometime. It just slipped away at the end. Ray allen missed two threes in a row and the team never recovered. Still the Celtics do need some bench help. This game showed they miss Posey more then I thought. Tony Allen is limited offensively and Powe is not the defender PJ Brown was. I ttotally expect a swing scorer to be added along with a low post defender.

I'm not an expert in basketball, but I can fully agree with this statement.

They're good for the sport. Who gives a flying crap about an exhilarating matchup between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Charlotte Bobcats?

they will add a big man who can defend and give some points in march or so.. could be P J again

someone who would like a shot at a ring with the celts.. maybe bill walton is ready for another comeback ?? lol

This team is desperate and probably will sign PJ Brown, Dikembe Mutombo, and Robert Horry eventually... maybe even throw in Antoine Walker.

They are missing PJ Brown.

The fact that Brian Scalabrine is getting any PT is a joke.

Allen is massive downgrade to Posey.

89 points against the Warriors?

minor slump, 2nd half of a back to back the first one was an emotional game against he 2nd best team in bball. Every team goes through it. They played sloppy. After winning 19 straight I will give them this. They had the same thing last year after a fast start they had a slow middle and then a good finish.

missing posey a lot more than p j brown

again, this is not a bad time for allen to be getting playing time.. the bigger worry is if perkins injured his left shoulder to any serious degree in the warrior game ??

that said, expect a late season pickup to solidify the bench. everyone sees that coming.

walker will not see a celtic uniform again in his career. way too selfish a player.
mutombo or horry might be a good fit, depending upon whether they need offense or defense.

Intentions have already been stated to sign Mutumbo in January
