Game Thread: Celtics Hosting Cavaliers, 1:00 PM, December 28, 2013

[Brahmsian]

Cleveland comes in 10-18, 13 games behind Indian in it's division and 2-12 on the road.

Celtics are 12-17, 1 game behind Toronto and 7-8 at home.

Jeff Green (appropriate last name for a Celtic) leading team in minutes/game with Avery Bradley and Jordan Crawford very close behind.

Jared Sullinger leading team in rebounds/game which is no surprise to me. The 2nd year man has shown a knack for paint play unusual for an inexperienced player in every game I've watched.

Celtics still getting beat in rebounds/game by a small margin but not by as much as in the previous 3 years or so.

Beating Cleveland won't please me as much as beating other teams would since I want to see them do better without Le Wrong as most people expect, but they are today's opponent, s,

GO CELTICS!

For what it's worth Kelly Olynyk had the best +/- on either team in the 1st quarter.

GO CELTICS!

 

[Brahmsian]

Am I the only one not watching a football game at the moment?

Speak up, people!

 

[Brahmsian]

Olynyk still best +/- on either team.

IMO that's a more important stat than PPG. Agree or disagree?

 

[Brahmsian]

STAY AGGRESSIVE, CELTICS!

WRAP UP THE WIN!

GO BOSTON!

 

[Brahmsian]

You need to run more, Celtics.

GET THE WIN IN THE BOOKS, BOSTON!

 

[Brahmsian]

MOVE WITHOUT THE BALL, CELTICS!

 

[Brahmsian]

You're scaring me, Celtics.

Enough of that!

Airball by Sullinger. Cavs ball down 2 with 18 seconds to go

[bksballer89]

That was a foul

 

[bksballer89]

Cavs still have a chance with that missed ft

 

[BobGnarly]

Bass got away with a foul on that black, but I'll gladly take the win

 

[Brahmsian]

WHEW!

Now if Portland can keep the OverHEATed from gaining any ground on Cleveland...

That and a Bruins win tonight will please me.

GO TRAILBLAZERS!

GO BRUINS!

Sorry I missed the game. Had to get skiis tuned up. Have not been out yet, heading to VT tomorrow. Damn, they beat the Cavs.......

Cavs shot 46% so not sure they are getting their defensive mojo back

Who stood out?

Brandon Bass toward the end with some clutch rebounds and blocks when the Cavs were threatening, IMO.

Celtics stood around on offense too much in the 4th quarter, which is what allowed Cleveland more chances than they should have had.
