Almost game time. I won't be doing a play by play since the game is on TNT and we can all watch it but wanted to make a thread where we can discuss the game as it goes on.
I am hoping we win this one tonight. We are capable if we bring our A game...

Nice start from the outside... I kinda like the gold in the uniforms. Not everyday but cool for St Pats week.

Off to a good start. Defense isn't the best but we are hitting our shots and getting some rebounds and playing a good passing game. Now if we can keep it up through 4 quarters.
It is Boston Celtic Day eve when everyone in the world becomes a Celtics fan and wears green and shamrocks and so we should win this one!!

Still playing well. Love that play where Pierce finds Gomes under the basket. Thank goodness Gomes is able to finish when he gets it. We still need to pick up our defense a bit. Gomes is playing with such poise. He plays more like a vet than a rookie

Tony seems like he is playing very well since he got the extended time with Delonte out. Playing with much more confidence. Our ball movement looks really good tonight. I hope we keep it up. That one possession it seemed like everyone touched it twice before we got the open 3.

Boston up 25 ... somebody pinch me.... I think I am dreaming. But we are playing very well. Good ball movement. Decent defense. Playing as a team.

Miami is turning it on now. Lead is down to 12. We need to keep playing with poise and not let them rattle us. We can win it if we just keep moving the ball on offense and playing hustle defense. They made a run and now we can stop it and go on one ourselves.

Sprash, I never say it's over till it's over. We have it in us to win it. Just have to stay focused.

One nice run in the 4th and we come out smelling good. After a shower at least...

Down to a 4 point lead at the end of 3.... I know we can win this but we have to keep our focus. Not let their defense rattle us and keep passing the ball to find the open man like we did in the beginning. We also have to tighten up our defense as they are getting way too many easy baskets now. I still have faith.... Let's go Celtics!!!!
Although seeing that Doc is going with Scal has me a bit nervous...

Too bad OG missed the last shot. I think it was a good call by Doc. The kid needs to feel pressure, to get better in those situations.
Good game to watch. Bad guys win.

Well that was a tough loss. But we played very well. That first half was incredible. With more experience, we will close games out. I still am excited about what we have. Tonight was Wally's best game as a Celtic. Seems like he has his stroke back. The ball movement was very good. I think we could use a defensive specialist. We don't have any stoppers. We played Miami pretty well. It is a fun team to watch when they are playing well and I think next year we are going to be right there at the top of the conference.

A tale of two halves, the 1st half was excellent, but we couldn't sustain it and let one slip away. It's a shame, because Philly lost tonight, so we could have gained a valuable game on the #8 seed.
Hopefully we can end the season strong and build confidence and chemistry for next year.
