Boston Celtics (3-3) at Chicago Bulls (4-2)Monday, November 118:00 PM ET Game #7, Road Game #4TV: CSNNE, CSN-C, NBA-LP 754(C's)/755(Chi) Radio: WEEI, WMVP United Center Referees: Joey Crawford, Mark Lindsay, Zach Zarba
The Celtics once again will try to get above .500 as they visit the
Chicago Bulls. This is the first of 4 meetings between these two
teams. The Bulls have won 5 straight vs the Celtics at the United
Center. They won the series 3-1 last season. This is the 4th game of a
5 game homestand for the Bulls. and the third game in 4 nights for the
Celtics.
The Bulls are coached by former Celtics assistant and
defensive guru, Tom Thibodeau. It follows that they hang their hat on
their defense. They are 4th in the league allowing just 88.67 points
per game on 42% shooting. The Celtics, on the other hand have struggled
with their defense so far this season, allowing 99.5 points per game on
45.5% shooting.
Both teams are coming off a win...

Celtics getting closer to finding Leandro's role
The one (slight?) concern that Celtics fans had in the beginning of the season was the lack of a pure backup PG. There were two sides to that: Yes, it is very important to cut Rondo's minutes efficiently, yet there are no backup PGs available who can do that at a satisfactory level. Celtics' experiments with veteran PGs have not been the best as we all know (save for Dooling...

Why doesn't the NBA credit assists on made free throws?
Rondo got robbed of an assist when Garnett got hit.
Rajon Rondo's spectacular streak of 30 games with 10+ assists has led me to keep a very close eye on his ball distribution of late. As he continues to climb his way up the charts towards the all-time record, I watch each game intently keeping track of his assist count.
While at the Garden last Wednesday I noticed three...
Keyon Dooling is a brave brave man.
In an NBA.com article this morning by David Aldridge (scroll down past the Laker talk), Keyon Dooling tells the story of a nervous breakdown he sustained this summer, and his subsequent week long stay in a mental institution. He details the experiences that led to his decision to retire from the Celtics, which all stem from sexual abuse he suffered as a child.

Taking Stock: Celtics – Bulls
After every game, we’ll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player’s overall value.
Starters
Offense: 20 points on a very efficient 10-16 shooting. He hit 5 of 6 shots at the rim, and 5 of 8 from everywhere else inside the 3-point line. A few of his turnovers were sloppy, but a few of his passes were spectacular.
Defense: He played the passing lanes...

Celtics vs. Bulls game preview
In a rematch of the most entertaining seven-game series I have been alive for, the Bulls and the Celtics square off in Chicago at 8:00 pm. This should be the first real test for the Celtics since their opener against the Miami Heat and a test of team cohesion. The boys from Boston have played and lost to some of the middle-of-the-pack teams in the NBA, this will be a good litmus...
DeMarcus Cousins continues to be a knucklehead; Should the Celtics make a play for him?
Stop thinking and just do what I say
DeMarcus Cousins was suspended again yesterday. This time for 2 games for his attack on Spurs announcer Sean Elliott, based on Elliott's mild criticism of him on the air. Reporters wondered why he got such a serious penalty for going after an announcer, but it's obvious to me. It's called being a repeat offender. Try getting caught...
