Tonight's Officials: Dan Crawford, Curtis Blair, Sean Wright
The Celtics have clawed their way back to .500 and face a Nets team that is just 1-5 and will be without some of their key players. It would be very easy to overlook the Nets, but the Celtics haven't played well enough yet to overlook any team.
The Celtics won the 2010-11 season series 3-1 but the Nets won the final meeting of the year. Since that time, the entire Nets roster has had a makeover while the Celtics starters are still intact but they have had a makeover on the bench. The Nets have some nice pieces but it will take some time for the chemistry to build. The Nets are also dealing with a serious foot injury to their starting center Brook Lopez, who was the lone bright spot for much of last season for the team...

The Boston Celtics lost the first three games this season for a variety of reasons. However, they might have won at least a couple of those games had they had the services of one Paul Pierce. Pierce is just that much of a difference maker.
The game last night against the New Jersey Nets was much like some of the early three games that the Celtics had lost. The team struggled to...

Most thirty six year old shooters with fifteen long years of NBA experience are either thinking about retirement or are looking for a reduced role with a team off the bench. However, that is not the case with one Ray Allen in Boston. Like a fine wine, Ray just seems to get better with age.

I have zero concern about Ray's absence. Give the guy a nice day off against a crappy team missing three of its starters.
No word on his replacement. At the very least, this will mean more time for E'Twaun Moore one way or the other. I wonder if this will be another discovery by necessity for Doc.
