Another day, another Western Conference power comes to town.

Scary stat of the day:

Boston (6-6) led the NBA in defensive field-goal percentage last season at 41.9, but that type of defense is a distant memory now. The Celtics rank 27th in that department in 2012-13 at 46.3 percent, allowing San Antonio to shoot 58.4 percent in Wednesday's 112-100 loss.

At least we can laugh at how bad Perk is now.

At least we can laugh at how bad Perk is now.

Too true, though he has his moments. But, Thunder fans can silently snicker at the enigma that is Jeff Green.

Maybe KG can grab more the two rebounds and not get outplayed by Nick Collinson tonight...

[Nomar813]

We've had a lot of guys playing in between and undecisively on defense. On penetration, our big comes to cut off the lane, and the weak side help is either late or nonexistent. It's leading to a ton of open layups. At least the offense has been coming together and AB's eventual return will help, but everybody else has to get on the same page in their defensive schemes.

C's have been somnambulant for much of this season, but I have a feeling they'll wake up for this home confrontation with the Western Conference's best.

Wait is this really not on ESPN?

[Nomar813]

NBA TV.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Avery Bradley warmed up with the team in pregame today and may play. Hopefully its not so they can prove to the Suns he's healthy and then trade him for Gortat

More of that hard slashing, please, Green.

[ifmanis5]

Durant may have a future in this sport.

[Nomar813]

Westbrook is a pain in the ass to watch whether you're rooting for him or rooting against him.

[Nomar813]

Sully's active tonight. This is a pretty good showing from the bench so far.

[ifmanis5]

Sully doin' work.

Why? Bradley for Gortat would be a fantastic trade for this team.

[Nomar813]

If they called that kind of foul on LeBron, he'd average 15 minutes per game.

[JakeRae]

I really like the energy and effort Wilcox brings to the table.

Steal of the muddafuggin draft, y'all!

Jet! Nice way to end the half. This is some good basketball.

[JohnnyTheBone]

T that prick up for hanging on the rim!

J - E - T , yes!

JET - JET - JET!

Happy to be a Boston fan these past 24 hours.

[Ramiel]

Not able to what the game tonight, but glad to hear the Celtics are winning so far.

[JohnnyTheBone]

Russell Westbrook my ass.

[mikeot]

Paul Pierce-lux et veritas.

[JohnnyTheBone]

Perk is a jerk!

[JohnnyTheBone]

Jeez Louise, Ibaka may as well have pulled out a switchblade and stabbed Bass for all he got away with on that "rebound".

[mikeot]

OK, Green, light It yo.

[Nomar813]

Bass to mouth!

[JohnnyTheBone]

You can't so much as breathe near Kevin Durant without being whistled for a foul.

[RedOctober3829]

Can they get Rondo and Barbosa out there at the same time?

[Ed Hillel]

Nobody is moving for Rondo.

[RedOctober3829]

Get it to whoever Kevin Martin is guarding.

[Ed Hillel]

Westbrook has a very punchable face.

[Ed Hillel]

The refs treat Sullinger like shit.

[JohnnyTheBone]

The NBA is pumping out an unwatchable product.

[Nomar813]

It's been a pretty lightly whistled game for the most part, but they're giving Sullinger the rookie job.

[Ed Hillel]

Lee got away with a wicked carry lol.

Sully got a call!

[RedOctober3829]

If Green keeps going hard, this team is so much better.

[JohnnyTheBone]

Nick Collison is Anglo-Saxon for "Can't Play Basketball".

[Ed Hillel]

Green has been awesome.

[JohnnyTheBone]

GREEN is MONEY!

[Nomar813]

Stay on the attack, Green.

[mikeot]

Hell Yes!

[Ed Hillel]

GGGRRREEEEENNNNNNNN!!!

[RedOctober3829]

Awesome bench this year compared to last year.

[ifmanis5]

Green unleashed.

[Ed Hillel]

Awful.

[Ed Hillel]

Ball don't lie!

[Hee-Seop's Fable]

The refs treat Sullinger like shit.

If he keeps this up that's got to change. With how young and raw Jefferson and Perk were when they were drafted, who was the last 3, 4, or 5 the Celts have drafted that's been this ready to go as a rookie?
