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

I wouldn't say that the Celtics are fully healthy. KG is looking better but still not 100% and Paul Pierce is definitely hurting. When both sides complain about the refs, you know that they are just terrible for both teams. When the opposing fans are thrilled with the officiating and see the obvious bad calls and non calls against the Celtics, you know that the Celtics are getting the short end of the stick from the refs. We will see this team again in Boston and hopefully then we will be healthy and not battling the thin air of Denver either.

Double digit win.

Gotta play tough all minutes. Celtics are a very

Celtics have been flat lately.

Should be a big win considering the fact that they blew a gimme at Washington and it being a national televised game and all. I keep saying I hope this loss to a bad team will be a wake up call but it never happens so we'll just leave it at that since in the playoff you won't see those teams.

Who in the hell knows? In the last 2 weeks we have annihilated the Lakers at Staples, gotten smashed at home by the Spurs w/o Parker, beaten the Cavs in Cleveland, and been beaten by double digits in Washington.

Melo will guard Pierce throughout the game because its no way Karl is having him chase Ray Allen off screens. If Melo doesn't fall for the pump fakes and close out on the 3, Pierce won't have a good game.

We perform well against good teams, but lose to bad teams...so if the theory holds true, then we will win this game.

A true test for the defense. Celts are 20-9 on the road, it’s a little confusing they have a very similar record to us but they are still playing the best team Defense in the NBA. We on the other hand have slipped back to 16th in defensive efficiency, that’s bottom half of the NBA.

C’s are having a really disappointing season. They haven’t got up for every game in this season and I’m just praying they don’t bring that focus tomorrow and let us get lots of shots up. Just a prediction Denver will either score 110+ and win or play a close game for 3 quarters and lose.

Watching the Cav's and the Magic with all their high priced additions - Leads me to believe – once again – you cannot simply buy a championship.

Davis flops a lot for such a huge dude

That was a fun first quarter to witness. 3 more to go.

And here comes the Denver "let teams catchup" Nuggets.

Nuggets are winning against an elite team Are they going to let them back in in the second half. “Tell of two halves”
Old man Ray is keeping them in this. Well that and we have started chucking up shots again

Something tells me we are going to blow this lead. We're too careless on the defensive end, not smart on the offensive end. It would be a shame if we do lose it.

Are Bahston fans incapable of calling their teams by their actual names
The Celtics are the C’s
And the Bruins are the B’s
Are they going to start calling the Red Sox the R’s
Nobody calls the Nuggets the N’s

Rondo is sucha drama queen Always stays on the floor for like 3 min after the foul and always ends up on the floor after a layup

Another horrible call! The Celtics can thank the refs for letting them back into the game.

U'd think the Nuggets were getting blown out the way the ESPN guys are killing them.

Why are all the ESPN guys saying Boston has no shot to go deep in the playoffs? They look good to me

Because its all about the Lakers and the Cavs per Mr Stern

Why is billups such a ballhog now?

Wow here we go I knew the selfish Nugs were gonna come out. Good to know there still here

When ty comes in He needs to run these old farts outta the gym

Boston's finally starting to look pretty all-around healthy, huh? Been a while...

Haha, the referees are definitely on the Nuggets side. Celtics barely are getting any calls even on OBVIOUS fouls. And tiny touches on Anderson results in a foul.

Celtics vs Nuggers & Referees. Amazing game.

18-31 from the line. They would be blowing out the C’s if they made the free throws

Thanks refs! don’t trade the refs!!

Pierce is blocking and altering jumpers

Oh, look at that... A non-call on Boston.

Nuggets need to put their best FT shooters on the floor

We're getting the calls but can't make the FTs

Combined free throw shooting this game - 58%

Melo has his best assist night of the season on the heels of his most selfish game of the season

I love how announcers talk about good teams that people don’t see on TV, but they never wonder why Cleveland, Boston and LA are on every Sunday.

Strong overall game The Celtics played really tough D in the last three quarters and we still found ways to score

Huge win against a healthy Celtics team, good to get this one.
