Game Thread: Celtics Hosting Pelicans, 7:30 PM, January 3, 2014

[Brahmsian]

Celtics come in 13-19, 12 1/2 games behind Indiana in the conference and 8-9 at home.

New Orleans is 14-16, 10 1/2 half behind Portland in the Western Conference, 5-11 on the road.

Celtics have been getting more than I expected from Gerald Wallace, good work from Jeff Green, Brandon Bass,
Avery Bradley and Jared Sullinger. Never mind Jared's foul trouble last game. That's going to happen
to all players now and then.

I really liked Greg Stiemsma while he was here and hope he has better results with New Orleans than he did here.
But not against the Celtics!

GO CELTICS!

 

[Brahmsian]

2 great plays by Green already!

Anyone else going to post here tonight?

 

[Brahmsian]

Nice hustle, Jared!

 

[Brahmsian]

We've attempted 4 triples already?

None of them were really bad shots but I don't like the trend.

GO CELTICS!

 

[Brahmsian]

Up to 7 triple attempts for us but only 1 for them.

Not good!

It's early still, however.

GO CELTICS!

 

[Brahmsian]

Heinsohn's wrong on that offensive foul call!

I don't like seeing fouls called on my team either, but that WAS a charge!

GO CELTICS!

 

[Brahmsian]

Sullinger with the best Celtic +/- in the 1st half, Olynyk with the worst.

Greg, please save your good games for when the opponent is not your former team!

4 for 7 against the Celtics bites!

A full half to play yet so WIN IT, CELTICS!

Only caught a bit of the first half, seen Bass was 6/6 with 4 boards though. Hope he can keep it up andw e can pull it out

 

[Brahmsian]

Am I the only one even looking at this thread?

SPEAK UP, PEOPLE!

Sullinger's been the best Celtic so far, for my money. Having some debatablefouls called on him, however.

Glad to see I'll have some company tonight!

 

[Brahmsian]

Stiemsma's not getting the rookie fouls called on him tonight that he got so many of with us.

Would love seeing us get him back while he's still in his prime!

 

[Brahmsian]

NEVER like seeing a stretcher on the floor for any player.

Let's hope the injury isn't as bad as it looks!

 

[BobGnarly]

Stretcher coming out for Anderson, hope everything is alright. Odd injury

Some sort of head injury, hard whiplash after the collision

Let's hope it's not a concussion!

Humphries has had a nice couple minutes in crunch time. Love that!

 

[Brahmsian]

BLEEP Anthony Davis!

PULL THIS OUT, CELTICS!

 

[bksballer89]

Terrible play

 

[BobGnarly]

Word is he has a cervical stinger.

Crawford having a decent game with 11 assists and Humphries as well with 12 boards

 

[Brahmsian]

In a rebuilding year there are going to be some frustrating games.

Learn from this, Celtics, and win the next one!

 

[Brahmsian]

One compensation: The New Dork StRangers lost to Pittsburgh.

Good night.

 

[BobGnarly]

Tough road trip coming up, might be a while before we see another W. Oh well, let's do this
GO CELTICS
