Game Thread: Celtics Hosting Nuggets, December 6, 2013

[Brahmsian]

I never expected the Celtics to win it all this year, but they are looking like they'll finish above .500 anyway. They've won 4 of their last 6. When Rondo can do more than sit on the bench cheering them on...

Why the shot Bradley swished from BEHIND THE BACKBOARD last game wasn't called the Play Of The Game by the broadcasters I have no idea.

This will be the Celtic's 21st game of the season, bringing them to it's quarter mark. Denver will be playing it's 19th.

GO CELTICS!

I would like to see Sully remain consistent. His PER is close to Dwight's, much better than Gasols, not an Anthony Davis but you get my point.

I also want to see more plays set up for AB and Green coming off screens. They both shoot better w/o handling the ball. Crawford's surprise capability is helping them along.

Frustrated we have to wait for Kelly O to come back

Sullinger I'm not worrying about. Faverani, on the other hand, has been very Jekyll-and-Hyde so far.

Has the opposition figured him out? I hope not.

The Brazilian Rain Forest. Ahhh what dreams we have had. Looked good the first few games...............

He might live up to those dreams yet. Some bad stretches during rookie years have to be expected.

Almost game time!

GO CELTICS!

Could we please have some replays of that swish from BEHIND THE BACKBOARD tonight?

 

[Brahmsian]

Good game from Humphries would help.

Sullinger's better suited to the 4 than the 5, IMO.

39 points in the 1st quarter? Who is this team we are watching?

 

[bksballer89]

42-15? WTF

So far, at least, better than I had expected.

Can they keep it up?

 

[Brahmsian]

A 54 point half with no Rondo?!?!?

 

[Brahmsian]

Where are the people who complained about hiring an inexperienced coach now?

 

[bksballer89]

Denver came out with guns blazing to start this half

 

[Brahmsian]

14 assists for the Celtics to only 10 for Denver.

Now WIN QUARTER FOR, CELTICS!

 

[LogicMan]

This Jordan Crawford is playing like an all star.....does he know he is only suppose to be the equivalent of barbosa?

What a player. What is Ainge to do when Rondo gets back?

Stevens has the team doing a double triangle offense off the 3 pt line. Very cool stuff by the coach

 

[Brahmsian]

2.65 points per miss for the Celtics tonight, only 2.28 for Denver.

So long for now.

Nice win tonight. It's looking more and more like the Celtics will be a middle of the pack playoff team considering how weak the East is. Once Rondo comes back I'd say this is the 4-5th best team in the East.
