Blazers (23-14) at Celtics (30-6)

[CelticsLoyalist]

The Refs have allowed an all round physical game against the C's over the last several games. Good thing to see tonight tho, is we are beating the Zone by hitting the outside shot, but I also see us working the paint getting the fouls.

We've ebcome a target against other teams. IT was the same against washington. Teams are doing whatever they can to stop us from scoring. Our shots are starting to fall finally but we have been completely out of rhythm.

We seem to be hanging in there against a good team with our C game. Hopefully, we can break out of our shooting slump in the 2nd half. Pruitt finally got some burn, did he do anything useful out there in his time.

Posey continues to be crappy - no points, rebounds, or assists with a minus 7- What is going on James?

This week has simply been crappy for the Celtics. No question about it.

Glad to see Pruitt get some minutes and he looked very nice in those few minutes, I still believe he could be that PG we could use if we need it but we still need to see more of him..Refs are letting it be a little bit of a pushy game..In the second half, i'd rather see Tony Allen with the starting unit rather than House so Allen can guard Roy since Ray was getting burned by him..We don't need House in when we got the big 3 out, we need him to produce instant offense off the bench...

we start to move ourselves, but that will not be enaugh for the win I see the game just like last 2
