3rd on Pierce? Jesus, thought that was on CJ for sure

[The_Powa_of_Seiji_Ozawa]

Whoa, I had no idea Chris Johnson was this skinny. If I didn't know how tall he was, I'd assume he was an undersized PG

Shaq needs to take Chris Johnson with him to Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles.

[PeaceSignMoose]

Wonder if they'll try to keep Johnson around. He makes a more intriguing project big man than Michael Sweetney at least.

[The_Powa_of_Seiji_Ozawa]

I forgot how much I hate the Birdman.

[dolomite133]

Chris Johnson is skinny and needs to seriously work on his rebounding, but on defense he is active and blocks/changes shots and on offense he cut to the rim and can go up high and finish strong. I've been calling all year for a Sean Williams (vintage Kidd era Nets) type who could do those things. Now we have it. Could make for an interesting bench player.

EDIT: Johnson's worst habit was, on offense, he would stand under the basket OUT OF BOUNDS! I know he's trying to stay out of the way and not fuck up the offense but come on!

EDT2: Violet! "That Violet .... ..... IS NOT A ROSE!" "Awwwwww! Go back to the girl's league!" That Sacto game was one of Tommy's finest moments.

And I'll certainly take the few minutes I've seen out of CJ over Luke Harangody as the last guy off of our bench.

[Kull]

That was Perk-like by Baby. Put the ball on the gorund under the basket and have it taken. Like old times already.

[FelixMantilla]

Gallinari completely fooled the officials on that.

Ray never touched him.

EDIT: Well, I gotta be wrong as Gallinari is headed back to the locker room. But the first replay sure looked like he reacted to a finger than never got closer than six inches to his face.

This is going to be one ugly game if our starters get into foul trouble.

[NYCSox]

Have I mentioned recently how much I loathe European basketball players. That little Gashole wannabe wasn't even touched.

Edit: Maybe he was touched. Still hate them though.

"Davis posting up on Nene..." -- something was very wrong with that picture.

[radsoxfan]

It would be nice if Ray wasnt playing so terribly

[Sprowl]

Garnett is giving one of his better defensive pterodactyl performances tonight.

[dolomite133]

Here comes CJ again! I wanna see a block, fast break and an oop from Rondo.

[radsoxfan]

I can't believe KG is still good at D without Perk there cheering him on and yelling at the officials.....

[radsoxfan]

Rondo should be dominating, instead he is doing nothing but bringing the ball up and then standing in the corner. He looks depressed that his buddy Perk is gone.

I don't know if that's the case (regarding Perkins), but it has been a pretty piss poor effort from Rondo so far tonight.

He was looking for his offense at the start, and then gave Johnson a few passes, but he's been wandering ever since.

[ifmanis5]

Ouch.

[Kull]

"It was not pretty". Thank you Marv.

[Mystic Merlin]

Denver really should be up a ton, but they can't get out of their own way, either.

[RetractableRoof]

He's got no opposing guard to up the focus... he's got no one running with him... and in the half court and the fouls on Pierce many of the rotations are weird. Doc probably told him not to run. His passing has been squandered by some stone hands as well. To be honest I didn't expect much from Rondo tonight...

[kelpapa]

Ha, they give Johnson Erden's number too. Maybe they didnt have any other jerseys and just changed the name

Yup. Little late, but I just saw it.

[ifmanis5]

That was sick.

[dolomite133]

Rondo with the great pass and then the terrible attempt to finish the break. He needs to stop with the corkscrew move and pull the ball back out when there's one one else filling the lanes.

[Sprowl]

Rondo with a little French pastry.

[ifmanis5]

Violet Palmer

[Kull]

Violet Palmer is awful.

[Mystic Merlin]

What the fuck?

[Mystic Merlin]

I had no idea you could effectively reverse a foul call.

Forget it Jake, it's Palmertown.

[Kull]

Great camera angle showing Ray's footwork and basket look before that 3

[dolomite133]

I'm noticing that Johnson picks odd times to leave the lane in order to avoid the 3 second call. He sometimes does so just as an opposing player drives in.

[Mystic Merlin]

What a fucking atrocious call on BBD.

[Kull]

Pierce should have stayed at the hotel. He's barely there.

Edit: And he immediately awakes - I should have posted this earlier.

This ref is unreal.

EDIT - He tossed KG OOB.

Big Baby knew he had Nene trapped inside the circle, so he laid on the Big Flab.

[dolomite133]

I love all the threads running through tonight's game. There's the Celtics vs. Knicks rivalry. There's the old animosity between the Celtics and Kenyon Martin. There's one team that replaced half their lineup vs. a team missing half their lineup. There's the shadows cast by Melo and Perk. There's a D-Leaguer playing 4 hours after being called up. Really a very interesting night.

And really, that's why many of us are watching an otherwise ho-hum late, late game like this one.

I'm watching it for Masai Ujiri. I think he's being protrayed by an actor whose motivation is "nerd".

Is Denver's GM related to Motumbo? He sounds like Dikembe on helium.

[Mystic Merlin]

They really shit the bed in the final minute.

[mikeford]

Sick Pierce ISO to end the quarter. 1 on 3? No problem.

[dolomite133]

Chris Johnson just got exposed that last minute. He really has no rebounding skillz. He needs to bulk up a bit and box out a little. At the very least he needs to not stand OUTSIDE the opposing team's player when a shot goes up or a rebound opportunity comes down. Get in there kid, use your springs and fight for it.

[sibpin]

Chris Johnson looks like Avery Bradley went through Wonka's taffy puller

[BucketOBalls]

Honestly, calling this game ho-hum is putting it kindly. It's terrible.

[ifmanis5]

Finally, a CJ alley-oop.

[Sprowl]

Rondo finds someone to run with him, and it turns out to be Johnson.

[dolomite133]

Rondo. Johnson. OOP! Get used to it!!!!!!!!!!

[SemperFidelisSox]

They will run out of gas soon. Big Baby and Rondo over 30 minutes already.
