That title is for myself not the team. I've been really focused on this streak for the last stretch of games but today there are some distractions. Last day of school before vacation, watching the Sox crush the Rays, and preparing to head out to NYC tomorrow morning could get me off my game. Total trap thread but I plan on focusing on the task at hand and taking care of business.


As for the team though? I do not foresee such problems. I mean shit, a whole day off, and a quick trip up to T-Dot? This shouldn't be a big problem. Yeah Ray-Ray isn't going to take the trip but this isn't your unfocused Celtics of last spring or even last February. I expect us to be fully engaged and while it may not be a blow out Doc will be able to extend the bench to keep us fresh for the next two nights.

Green 18, it may still be but a dream but at least I can say that with a chance of success. Hollinger gives us 5.9% of winning it all. Let's get that over 6%!

We're here, we're now, we're happening!

Four games against Toronto, four times they've put the Raptors' feed on League Pass. I'm having a Heinsohn attack.

[Nomar813]

That stuff by Garnett was Stiemsma-esque and by proxy Russell-esque.

[Sprowl]

Bassomatic!

[Sprowl]

Bradley shows good judgment to fake the shot and drive after receiving the pass on the spot-up.

Woah a little out of control comparing Garnett to Stiemsma. Let's see KG do it a few times before we go making crazy statements.

Yougottaproblem with our dulcet Canadian tones? As home-team announcers go, they're pretty good -- and they've had to find the silver linings in a 20-39 team all winter long...

Great job by Avery to harass while avoiding the foul.

I just wonder what Tommy quotes/rants I'm missing. It's like watching the B's with no Jack

It's Donny tonight.

[stp130]

Thank for flying AIR BRADLEY.

[nocode51]

Rondo making sure he gets those 10 assists early in case it's a blowout. You know he is very aware of that streak, but I'm totally ok with that.

[simplyeric]

I'm loving me some Rondo/Bradley work here.

[Nomar813]

Avery is in a fantastic rhythm.

[Sprowl]

The Stiemsman with quick hands, good post D, and a blocked shot on successive Raptor possessions!

And there's another Bradley cut - Rondo has eyes in the back of his very long fingers.

The thing about Tommy is that you've heard it all before.

[Statman]

The Raptors are fielding an NBDL team. Let's get Johnson and Moore some PT!

[nocode51]

The difference in intensity is huge from the last couple weeks but so far, so good.

[Kutcher Era Youth]

Your classic lineup against a shit team on the first night of a B-T-B-T-B.

Strange. I'm in NY and I'm getting Tommy & Mike on my league pass.

[Kutcher Era Youth]

Holy shit Keyon

[Sprowl]

The Celtics are playing a lineup of Dooling-Daniels-Hollins-Pavlovic-Pietrus. Can you spell LAUGHER?

[Cerebus the Batboy]

That's an interesting pair of lineups out there. I would cry if I paid money to be at this game.

[radsoxfan]

Interesting strategy by Doc...

I know its 3 gams in 3 days, but all of a sudden were going 11 deep? Lots of minutes for Dooling, Hollins and now even Marquis. What an awful lineup on the floor right now

[Statman]

If we win tonight, do we pull a Spurs and rest all of the starters tomorrow?

But much like a Seinfeld rerun, you still enjoy it every time.

No reason to use more then you need to. If you can rest the main rotation guys enough tonight you don't have to give them a complete night off tomorrow. Best case Ontario the starters come out for the first 6-8 minutes of the second half and then are DONE for the night.

[Cerebus the Batboy]

Shame it's a road game. Tommy would be on his fourth gin and tonic by now. By the fourth quarter CSN would have him on a five second delay.

[jmcc5400]

Indy down 13 at home to Cleveland. Hmm.

[nocode51]

Do you think these bench guys who don't usually play get together for any practices before games? Have they literally only had like the 1 practice in 3 weeks?

[Sprowl]

The Toronto announcers are going all Remsillo on us. They're a little bit embarrassed at the D-League lineups too.

[Boston Brawler]

I'll be at the game in Charlotte on Sunday. The lineup better never look like this...

That's good Bass!

No. The 3 seed matters and we aren't out of it yet. The goal has to be to keep the starters around 25-30 minutes, at most, for the back-to-back-to-back rather than to give them time off.

Only a 4-point lead?

Make it 6, in honor of BILL RUSSELL!

This was more inspired then anything the Celtics did in the 2nd quarter.

Looks like everyone's still at the concession stands.

Apparently it gets worse...

Including the C's.

[JakeRae]

This team need to wake up. Play hard for the rest of the quarter and then take the 4th quarter off.

[Stu Nahan]

They are sleepwalking through this game.

[Nomar813]

Time to pick things up, guys. Ever since the recession hit, Canadian points are worth as much as American points.
