 at  Denver Nuggets (2-1) at Boston Celtics (2-0) Wednesday 11/7 7:30 PM ET TV: NBALP CSNNEHD, Altitude2 Radio: WEEI TDBanknorth Garden   Probable Starters      PG: Rajon Rondo PPG 8.5 | APG 2 | STL 3.0 SG: Ray Allen PPG 25 | APG 1 | 3P% .563 SF: Paul Pierce PPG 20.5 | RPG 5 | APG 5 PF: Kevin Garnett PPG 22.5 | RPG 16.5 | BPG 1.5 C: Kendrick Perkins PPG 5.5 | RPG 5.5 | BPG 1.5 Off the Bench      T Allen/ House/ Pollard/ Posey/ Scal InjuriesNone   Probable Starters      PG: Allen Iverson PPG 24 | APG 10 | STL 3.7 SG: Yakhouba Diawara PPG 5.7 | RPG 2.3 | APG 1 SF: Carmelo Anthony PPG 28.3 | RPG 4.3 | APG 4 PF: Kenyon Martin PPG 7.3 | RPG 5.7 | BPG 2.3 C: Marcus Camby PPG 8.7 | RPG 19 | BPG 4.3 Off the Bench      Kleiza/ Nene/ Najera/ Wilks/ Jones InjuriesChucky Atkins Anthony Carter Key Matchups:  vs  Perk vs Camby is going to be a battle. Both are strong inside players and both take pride in their interior defense.  vs  Pierce will have his hands full with Carmelo. He will need to show that new found defense that he has been talking about. We will probably see Posey on Melo at times as well.  vs  KG vs KMart should be a good matchup with some defensive battles inside as well, with KG having an advantage in this matchup. Game Notes The Nuggets play Tuesday night in New York and so will be playing in the second of back to back games on the road. The Celtics will be rested up from their OT game on Sunday. The Celtics will be back home with the crowd behind them. They have to make teams afraid to come into the Garden. Denver is a good defensive team and are ranked 4th, limiting opposing teams to 40% FG shooting. The Celtics are ranked first in FG% allowed at 36%. Denver has their own big 3 in Iverson , Camby, and Anthony and matchups are going to be important. Time to send a message to the West that Boston is to for real. |

I feel this to be a more challenging matchup than Toronto.

Yep, it should be. The Nugs have 2 All-Stars (Bosh was the lone star for TOR), and DEN loves the uptempo game. They will run after missed shots, after made shots, after turnovers, and whenever possible. Doc may have to go more athletic in this game just to cover up on defense. Camby is quicker and more athletic than Perk, and Perk admits that quicker big men give him trouble. But Perk will be up to the challenge.
This is now the 3rd straight game to start the season, that Rajon has to guard a formidable PG. He started off guarding Arenas, then he had to guard TJ Ford (who is a good PG), and now he has to guard Iverson.

Tough opponent here guys, coming off two losses with the ability to score in runs with above average defensive match-ups... I have great hopes this will be a game the Celtics offence hits its potential because that is what it will take, along with the defensive pressure we have been witness to so far in addition to staying out of foul trouble! Also, the turnovers need to be less than the 15+ range we've seen. Then I do think this game is winable in a close contest, but I'm prepared for an excieting game no matter the final score. Celtics by 2  This could very well be one of the 29 losses of this still young Celtics season, as the team trys to hit its stride which we haven't seen yet and wouldn't expect to see so early in this season. Although, I do have great hopes Looking forward to your play by play typing marathon FLCelticsFan, as well as the gangs always inciteful post game coments here. Fun,Fun,Fun!!! |

www.myp2p.eu/index.php?part=sportsThat is a site that a lot of people watch the games on. I have never used it but you need to download the sopcast viewer I think and then you can stream the games.

omg how good is Kevin Garnett? He's setting perfect picks, making all the right passes, taking all the right shots. He is incredible.
