Game Thread: Celtics At Suns, 9:00 PM ET, February 10, 2014

[Brahmsian]

Thanks to ESPN Celtics fans like myself may get to watch parts of a Celtics win and a Laker loss tonight!

Don't know yet whether or not Rondo will play tonight, but since Pressey has filled in well in Rajon's absence
it's not a major worry for me.

There might have been reason to trade Rajon back when there was reason to worry that his ACL tear could be a career
ender, but there no longer is. Rondo at even half of what he used to be is too good to give up on.

GO CELTICS!

GO CELTICS!!!

This team may look completely different tomorrow, I hope not, but there's a chance.

In the meantime, stick it to the suns, boys!

I at least hope there won't be that many changes. If we can pick up unprotected draft choices that will be good,
but the team we've got hasn't gelled yet.

We knew a long time ago Banner 18 wouldn't come this year but I really don't think it's that far in the future.
For the 1st year of a rebuilding program the results so far are pretty good, IMO.

 

[Brahmsian]

Celtics come in 19-35, 1.5 games behind the Wooden Knickles , 22.5 behind Indiana in the Conference, 8-18
on the road.

Phoenix comes in 31-21, 10.5 games behind my native city's Thunder in the Western Conference, 17-9 at home.

There are never easy wins for a team like the Celtics that hasn't gelled yet, but this team seems to agree with my signature line. They never just lay down and die however far behind they may fall.

GO BOSTON!

GO SUNS

Anyone care to guess how many minutes Rajon Rondo will get tonight?

 

[The Derski]

Celtics trying to run with the Suns ehh. Okay then

 

[Brahmsian]

Celtics have never been a half-court team and there's no reason for them to try to become one now.

When they've got a PG like Rondo who will ALWAYS reward big men who get ahead of the ball on offense
why should they?

 

[The Derski]

Green literally floated in the air.

Judging by their ppg this season I didn't think they ran too much. They score under 100 per game.

The Celtics are a rebuilding team not a veteran one. .

Suns fans better hope this wasn't their team's best quarter tonight.

It may well be that, however

 

[BPNAZ]

will Plumlee have more turnovers or rebounds in this game?

 

[The Derski]

Green is such a spark plug

Green is such a spark plug

You should remember that the Celtics also have a player with the last name "Green".

JEFF Green is no stiff.

[BPNAZ]

[The Derski]

Plumlee says "get that shit outta here!"

 

[The Derski]
