CELTICS GREEN BLOG by and for boston celtics fans: Comments from the Other Side

The Celtics got their butts kicked by Indiana so you know they are coming hungry , expecting a great game.

Lets beat some Celtic butt.

Hope we win but I don't think we are ready for this one

Should be a great game. There are similarities ... Battier is close to James Posey. If we kept Steve Novak we'd have our Scal.

At no point last year did Boston play us at full strength. They got Yao alone in the first game..they got McGrady alone in the next.

They get us a full strength tomorrow. They are the champs. We have been bad at home. We'd need to step it up big time. But I don't fear them..they haven't seen us at full strength. I fear LA..maybe a little NO. But not Boston. We can beat Boston...we just need to play better at home.

Brooks goes for 40. Von Wafer goes for 106. Rockets win by 1 (Scalabrine scores 210 by himself).

I expect this to be a war and this is a very important game for both teams. Celtics don't want to start 2-2 and the Rockets know they need to show they can beat the champs.

They never had us at full strength and now they gotta deal with us plus 1... Perkins and Big Baby foul out within the first half.. Yao overpowers KG for more second half. Artest tosses Pierce... Blowout Game!!

I'm confident we can win this game. But we cannot afford to be awful on offense as we have been thus far this season. And we gotta play some TENACIOUS defense. Lets show the Celtics whats up !!!!

Anyoen see KG kick scola on the ground? I hate this ****

Rondo is having his way with Rafer.

Rondo is really annoying me.

Lets hope powe doesn't demolish us like he did last year

The Celtis will regret to get Yao in fouls troubles cause he is going to be fresher at the end of game and it will pay off.

LOL at the refs today, they don't want us to win. 2 3 second calls within 1 minute wow

The Celts are playoff ready....we are working to get there and that is showing tonight.

What kind of flop was that by KG? That was horrible who would fall for that?

KG is just one soft softie.

Allen just owning McGrady.

Artest is slowly reminding me of T-Mac. STOP PULLING UP FOR 3S!!!

it's a 3pt game. Rockets can still win this. This is close game although Yao is not playing well and we are missing battier. If I have to put some numbers here, I would say Celtics are probably playing 80% of their capability while Rockets are around 55%-60%.

Man Perkins just has Yao shook.

Offensively Perkins just has him shook and that's not something you ever want to see. But KG had Pau shook last year so its not like its just Yao.

Holy crap, Perkins is having like, the best game of his life.

Kendrick Perkins is eating Yao for breakfast.

T-mac can't guard Ray Allen for crap....

Does anyone in the league move better than ray Allen without the ball?

"while Kg was standing over there he dropped about an inch of rain" hilarious

The plan is to make Glen Davis shoot more jumpshots.

Yao keeps missing shots that he should be making. I guess that's why they're the best defensive team in the league when they can throw Perkins, Garnett and then have guys like Leon Powe and Glen Davis (They had PJ Brown last year too) to throw at the bigs.

Tony Allen is by far the dumbest player in the NBA.

Can Tony Allen be stupid enough to foul again!?

We have to just forget about the outcome and focus on our upcoming road trip. We'll be scary once we are all healthy and the big 3 starts to mesh. The Celtics just got lucky.

Yeah we are on the rise while the celtics are on the decline. They better be ready for us next game cause they won't win that one.
