What are your impressions of the Celtics after seeing them in person?No spoken words said:I was at the Celtics/Bulls game last night.
The Bulls play uninspired basketball. Yawn.

No spoken words said:They do, Phil. The whole 4th quarter, the only guy who I saw wanting to win that game was Nocioni. The sum of their parts is disappointing; they should be better than this. Rajon Rondo carved them up.

You touched on what to me has been most impressive about the Celts to date, their defense. They are doing a remarkable defensive job, so on nights when the offense doesn't click they still have a legit shot to win, and when the offense clicks, they blow people out.No spoken words said:
Well, I don't think that I saw them on a typical night. Rondo had a hot hand, and Garnett barely asserted himself on offense. Still, they looked pretty good. I think KG was in Deng's head or face all night, and so Deng had a bad shooting night. They forced Gordon into some bad shots as well, and as usual, Ben just kept on shooting regardless. Allen looked a step slower than I recall, but his jump shots are still one of the prettier things in the NBA. I think he hit 4 Threes on the night. Pierce's shot would not go down, but he passed the ball well and had some boards tool. KG had a quiet 16/9 night, but with 7 blocks. Big Baby threw his body around a lot and pulled down a lot of boards in a short period of time, and Posey played ok off the bench as well...
That's a long winded way of saying that I was not blown away, but, was slightly impressed. We were talking before the game, and we were most interested in seeing Rondo, because we feel that if the Celts want to get by the Pistons, Rondo is going to have to step his game up. If he plays like he did last night, well, not a lot more you can ask for.
Despite back-to-back losses against the woeful Sixers, New York Knicks head coach Isiah Thomas was reportedly told by owner James Dolan that his job is not in jeopardy.
Madison Square Garden has been at or near full capacity for every of the 2007-2008 season.
CTU2fan said:What is the deal with the Bulls fans booing Posey? Did he get into anything with them when he was with Miami? They booed whenever he touched the ball.
Oh and I had one of those "remember him?" moments last night. As in, "Hey there's Joe Smith, remember him?"
No spoken words said:Didn't Posey, when with the Heat, clock Hinrich in the playoffs? Something like that.....they did boo him a lot, we noticed that too.
from today's New York Times
Thomas apparently had heard enough. Late in the game, he could be seen debating some fans sitting near the court. One of those fans, Mara Altschuler, was so enraged by the discussion that she sought out reporters after the final buzzer.
"He said it's the fans' fault because they don't have a good sixth man," said Altschuler, who has season tickets near midcourt. Her family has had the seats for more than 40 years, since the old Garden, she said.
The Knicks weren’t the only New York athletes booed. John Maine and Oliver Perez, starting pitchers on the Mets team that blew a huge September lead and missed the playoffs, were booed when shown on the overhead scoreboard in the third quarter.
namkcuR said:And apparently there are more than a few Knicks outside of Malik Rose that want out.
Got Philk? said:Curry got blocked by Nocioni twice last game vs. the Bulls.
In fact, the Bulls blocked 15 shots total vs the Knicks.
I just wanted to point that out.
