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

It will be a little tough with Paul pierce but we can win.

No matter who's starting we got to win this they have a depleated roster

Depleted roster and its still better than ours at at least 3 positions

We should win this game...they without Rondo and KG...we just need to use our bench good and give JO attak KP...

We must keep a tight guard on Allen and especially House.

I love Haslem, but Leon Powe is a better player. Haslem is better for the Heat obviously because of his heart and how much chemistry he has with Wade. But Powe is gonna be a beast in a couple of seasons. Something about that guy's game I just love (probably because he attacks the basket and draws fouls). He's like a better rebounding version of Haslem who has a little bit of a post game

Hpoefully we come out with energy and play hard and don't take the C's for granted because they have 5 player out, really 4 cause Scalabrine doesn't play that much anyway

I hope Eddie House doesn't destroy us again.

Guys if past experience has taught us anything, Paul Pierce will eat Moon alive if moon has to guard him. Better to throw someone else on him

Without Rondo they're a joke.

Rondo is usually the one who gives us the most problem, his penetration puts our defense in shambles.

With all this talk about Rondo being out, I just realized the Celtics have stephon marbury. Now this isn't stephon marbury of old, but he isn't exactly a scrub

This is a good chance for Wade to make a push, with a big game and a win people wont pay as much attention to the fact that the C's are missing half their team.

Powe is gon kill us and he's only 6 freaking 8

Wow the Celtics big men already in foul trouble lol

Powe looking like Dwight Howard - 11pts 6reb in the first already

The worst part of this game is going to come in the 2nd half (4th quarter) when all these fouls that the refs are calling will suddenly not be fouls anymore.

I like Powe's game. Reminds me of a more athletic version of Haslem

Nice we're getting a lot of their players in foul trouble

VERY frustrating that a Celtic team that is this beat up can handle us like that in the first quarter.

Shoot 58% and still be down...all of a sudden we're the Phoenix Suns

OMG Ray is Eddie House clone

The furthest we can go this year is the ECF, because its impossible for us to beat Boston or Orlando. We just matchup terribly with both teams.

Even with the injuries the Celtics defense is 1,000 times better than Miami's

Even without KG the Celtics still bully teams

Ray Allen is embarrassing us.

Its amazing that the Celtics can be without so many players and barely miss a beat. Their defensive commitment up and down their roster is impressive

Walker is a punk, I don't mind that foul

Refs doing their best to keep the Celtics in this.

Celtics get a lot of superstar calls.

What a garbage call. Wait an hour to see if PP falls then blow the whislte.

Good win for the Heat. I hate to say it though, it should have been a win for the Heat because the Celtics were down 5 men (Rondo and Garnett)
