The Celtics take on divisional rival Brooklyn Nets. Both teams have a
new look since the Celtics swept the series last season. The Nets are
in 2nd place in the division, half a game ahead of the Celtics.
The
Celtics are playing in the second of back to back games, having beaten
at home against the Jazz on Wednesday night. This is also the 2nd of 4
games in 5 nights. The Nets have been off since Tuesday night. The
second unit came through for the Celtics vs the Jazz, allowing Doc to
limit the starter's minutes.
However, Rondo rolled his ankle in
the 3rd quarter and is listed as day to day. I'm leaving him in the
starting lineup because I don't know what lineup Doc will start if Rondo
can't go. It's hard to tell w

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
Only 5 games into the season it is way to early to panic about this team or jump off the bandwagon. I said this at the beginning of the season we need to wait about 20 games to really judge this team and make a judgement to weather this team is going to make a title run. The good with this Celtics team in the first 2 weeks has to start at the top with the play of PG Rajon Rondo....

The Celtics were without Rajon Rondo after his ankle sprain last night, with Leandro Barbosa starting in his place. With the game tied 87, Brooklyn pulled away and despite the Celtics best efforts (including a dicey foul on D-Will...
Jeff Green Comes Out Of A Coma, Dunks On Al Jefferson
Did you hear that collective sigh of relief? That was Celtic nation. Jeff Green has all the tools and capabilities to do good and even great things. This dunk was just straight up dirty by Green. I think Al Jefferson may have filed a restraining order after it. It was nice to finally see a mean side of Jeff Green. Earlier during the week we heard he was too soft and nice...
