I find it hard to believe that Sacremento has fallen to 11 and 17 this year. They have too much talent to be struggling that much. Besides, there ain't a lot of strong teams in this league these days.
I don't like this matchup coming up because Shareef, Abdur-Rahim, Mike Bibby, and Brad Miller because frankly, they have our number.
I would be interested in acquiring these three players should both teams struggles continue.

shareef is out, since randolph broke his jaw. that should ease things a little bit for us. but it doesn't matter since doc will lose the game for us. again.
i wouldn't mind getting these players either, but we probably have tools to get only one i'm afraid. getting bibby would be good though.

I also read that Peja and Bonzi Wells are expected to miss the game. Hopefully, we can win this one and then double-up against the also-injured Clippers. Actually, Denver is also missing Marcus Camby, so this might be the right time to face these teams.

Alright! Not only do we have a chance to beat the Kings, but since a lot of the players may miss the game, y'all get to see Fransisco Garcia in action. I really like this kid's game and I do think he's going to be a fine player for years to come.
Too bad Bibby isn't going to play because I would have liked Delonte to pick up a few tricks from him.

We should win this one. We haven't been winning back to back games but we also haven't lost 3 in a row so far. With the Kings being weakened with injuries, hopefully we can come in and take advantage and beat them. We have got to take better care of the ball and at least play some defense.

Tha'ts the key of the game--limiting turnovers. We'd have won a lot of close games if we could have kept our TO's down. Ricky has got to stop trying to be a ball handler--he's not that good. Pierce has to stop trying to be fancy with his dribbling.

Yahoo!!! Got the Celtics feed tonight. Ricky's braider must be out of town cause he is sporting a fro. Pregame said that Peja won't be playing so hopefully that is true. This is probably the most winable of the remaining games on this trip. PP challenged himself and Ricky to step up defensively so hopefully we will see it tonight.

Another rotten start - again this looks just like Golden State featuring Celtic Turnovers and bad defense. Sacto 15, Celtics 9

Q at the qtr -
Celtics responded better with Raef LaFrentz in the lineup. If we can solve the Sacto Pick and Roll we have a fighting chance in this game.
Sacto - 28, Boston - 24 at the Qtr
