Tonight's Opponent: I'm not gonna lie; I don't know much about tonight's opponent. In fact, I am currently looking up their roster. I do know, at least, that they are not good. The qualification for that, by the way, is finishing behind the New York Knicks in the standings. Any team that traded FOR Kwame Brown must not be very good. It is a young team led by Brandon Jennings. You know, the kid who went to Europe instead of playing college hoops (if people don't identify him for that, what do they identify him as? He hasn't done shit in the league). He's not even that great a scorer, averaging only in the high teens. They made a "big" trade for Samuel Dalembert, who you might remember from his days with the Sixers. Yeah, he wasn't that good either. They also employ Mike Dunleavy. Yeah...

Rajon Rondo called this "scrappy" which is athlete-speak for terrible.

Tonight's Preview: The Celtics, lifted by the Garden Crowd, will quickly dash to a big lead, led by KG, who will want to atone for his horrid performance against the Heat. Doc will rest the starters for periods through out the second quarter, and while the bench will provide some needed scoring, the Bucks will pull to within 10 points at the half to make it "interesting." The third quarter will be all Paul Pierce with the captain scoring 14 points to give the Celtics a 20+ point lead. The fourth quarter will feature isos on the block to Sully and Courtney Lee threes.

Tonight's Beer: It's the first home game of the season, so preferably you'd want to go Boston-themed. However, you're facing the Bucks, and you can't hunt Bucks without:


Tonight's Objective: Drink their beer, beat their basketball team.

Other Relevant Info: 7:30 PM ET, CSNHD/WEEI. If you want some last minute tickets to see the opener, TicketsNow is a better bet than StubHub (entry price).

Go Celtics.

Go Celtics.

Great message and great choice.....even better than Natural Light in a can

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Mike Gorman is the absolute best.

[bball831]

Where is everybody? Looks like a game in Miami.

[Grimace-HS]

Never been a huge fan of music during the games, but love that the C's at least stick to the traditional organ stuff and not the Super Mario Bros theme or crazy sound effects that other arenas play.

[bloodysox]

God damn our defense looks awful

[Blacken]

Bass at the 5 is going to make us very sad all year.

[bloodysox]

Darko sighting

An offensive rebound for the rook? He hasn't been taught the Celtic way yet.

[DannyDarwinism]

Sully has really good rebounding instincts.

[bloodysox]

Good to see Green get a bucket

[sachmoney]

Big man free throws and Green coast-to-coast!

[rmaher]

The Celtics are going to need to figure out someone who can fill the void in the center of the defense when Garnett isn't in there. Even if it isn't pretty right now, they need to keep trying guys and giving them some minutes in order to be able to keep Garnett rested and healthy at the end of the season without giving up too much on defense when Garnett is on the bench.

Darko: still useless

[Blacken]

I'm guessing "Don't give Darko the ball" hasn't yet become part of the gameplan.

[bloodysox]

Darko: still useless

And he can't catch passes.

[bloodysox]

Terry can't buy a basket right now...

[bloodysox]

What the FUCK was that Darko?

[bball831]

The new guys suck defensively.

[bball831]

5 pretty shittu quarters. Lots of chemistry problems. And I hope it's just chemistry and not something bigger.

[stp130]

Someone needs to tell Boston that the season's started.

[sachmoney]

They have A LOT of new players. Pretty much the entire bench (when you factor in Bradley as a starter) is new.

We need more Scal.

[Stu Nahan]

This is just awful.

[bloodysox]

Wow Barbosa...

Stuffed by the rim LOLOLOL

[Lazy vs Crazy]

JET sucks real bad.

[Nomar813]

We need more Scal.

Even without Bradley, Barbosa-Terry-Green-Sullinger-Milicic all came from separate teams this offseason. They'll learn how to play together.

[bball831]

Terry has been awful. Streaky player on a very coooold streak.

[Manzivino]

They look terrible offensively.

[collings94]

Brian Scalabrine: Proving that Boston will support any white guy, no matter how little talent they posses.

[sachmoney]

Nice move by J Green. Gotta be better on the glass though. Can't give second chance opportunities.

[Blacken]

31% FG percentage. Tro lo fucking lo.

[Stu Nahan]

31% shooting and more turnovers than assists. Nice work

[bloodysox]

Fuck our defense

[collings94]

Ugh, reminds me of last year against NO. Also, can someone learn how to box out?

[bloodysox]

Solid 28% from the field. Even for a new team, that's awful.

[Nomar813]

This whole rebounding the ball thing is going to get Sullinger plenty of minutes.

[Scoops Bolling]

This is getting embarrassing.

[bball831]

Get ready for what's wrong with the Celtics stories.

[stp130]

This is troubling.

[sachmoney]

This is the opposite of how I imagined things going. Also, can we go to the rim at all?

[Stu Nahan]

New players or not, this is a joke.

[Blacken]

Hey, points!

[bloodysox]

I thought Lee was gonna miss that layup...

[bloodysox]

What the fuck are they doing?

[Stu Nahan]

Getting booed off the floor at the half of the home opener should be fun to watch.

[Scoops Bolling]

Getting booed off the floor at the half of the home opener should be fun to watch.

They'd certainly deserve it.

[bball831]

Chemistry is one thing but starting 5 is same except for Lee. No excuse there.

[sachmoney]

Of the "other guys," I like Sullinger...and no one else.
