at [glow=green,2,300]Boston Celtics (32-47) @ New Jersey Nets (48-31) Sunday April 16th, 2006 8:00 PM, EST TV Coverage: FSNE, League Pass Radio Coverage: WRKO 680 AM[/glow]West said he was going to try to play but Doc didn't sound too sure about it. Hopefully the game will be better than the last one. I still want to see a Dwayne Jones get some playing time. I am not sure why Doc still has him on the bench when everyone else is getting time. Will be watching for Green's highlight of the night. Happy Easter to all the Greeniacs!!!

How has the weather been in your neck of the woods, Steve?
Mine has been Hot, Dry, and Windy.
The Celtics have three more games left against quality opponents. But all have their seedings settled. Since there is not much benefit to losing games for the Celtics in order to get more ping pong balls in the lottery, they need to win tonight to send a message to New Jersey that we will be heard from next year. In a slow sports day, this game tonight serves as a weekend extender.

We are going to my hubby's first wife's mother's for Easter dinner but hoping to be back in time for the game. If not, I will be back asap and will get most of it. I'll do my best.

Pierce isn't playing tonight due to his elbow. Another one bites the dust. Not much chance to win this one without Pierce unless NJ keeps their starters on the bench for much of the night.
