Let's see how the Celts do against the Mavs, Suns, or healthy Spurs before we start crowning their asses. Their bench is still not all that.
Plus the game was in Utah and the Jazz were embarassed last night at LAL. So you expected they will come out motivated especially against the best team in the NBA record wise.

Not to mention their coach
I think they will split the 2 games with those teams. The bench might not be all that but they are good enough. Plus they have 2 spots open lets see who they add.
just playing devil's advocate, but how much does playing the night before feature into it?
Yeah I am looking forward to the Rivers/D'Antoni matchup.
Only the players can answer that but they played like garbage last night.
Jazz made stupid mistakes in the crunch, the game was close down to the wire.
Mavs and Suns are playing inconsistent ball right now, so I would take the Celtics over them.
One thing I noticed is that Celtics go to chucker Pierce as their guy in the 4th, KG is still nowhere to be found. The only one that scares me in the crunch is Ray Allen.
With Bruce gaurding him?
If Bruce is guarding Ray who guards Pierce?
Udoka?
garnett has a history of fading away during the clutch ever since he was drafted by minny. he'll be there to set screens, play D, rebound, but he wont be the one making big shots. pierce will probably be the go to guy due to his ability to draw fouls. ray allen plays the role of spot up shooter who'll get the ball if left open.
would pop play udoka during crunch time? i think hes more likely to stick with parker-manu-bowen-duncan-oberto.
IDK if Udoka is strong enough to prevent Pierce from attacking the basket and drawing fouls.
This is why it's crucial that Pop gives Ime more minutes this season, so he can develop into a consistant player
Have you seen who the Celtics played against...look it up...you'll laugh
horry/bruce on pierce. manu can take care of allen.
sloan kept leaving brewer alone on pierce even though pierce was eating him alive.
jazz has no fire in them.
Great day to be a Boston fan. Pats make history, Red Sox are set to defend their le, and the Celtics keep on winning and making haters even more pissed and jealous of this badass sports city. Life is just great here!
lol @ horry on pierce. do you want to win or not ?
we're just going to have to pick our poison when the celtics come to town. one of the wings should have a good game because bruce is only one man. one thing i have noticed with boston, there is plenty of talk about how KG needs to be in the post more, but when he is away from the basket it seems to really open up the lanes for drives the basket since he draws a big away from the basket.
but anyway, no doubt when the spurs finally play celtics its going to be the biggest game of the year.
Spurs should split with boston this year and utah wll get better as the season goes. Boston will struggle out west with dal, phx, den, hou, and lal. C's got miracle in sa last year
i think horry could be effective against pierce whenever pierce decides to post up. horry still has some mobility on those old legs of his. wouldn't matter. since it would seem the spurs would have the most difficulty against pierce, then let him be the poison. let him beat the spurs on his own. lock everyone up and throw away the key and let pierce bail them out.
hmm... elson on garnett so duncan would be free to roam around on D?
good god, no. besides, garnett doesn't play center, ever, i don't think.
Probably the 1996-97 Chicago Bulls team.
elson would have no chance, and if timmy has to come over and help, someone will be left open.
