Cs are yet again shorthanded... which doesn't mean much. This Blazers team works hard but they are not very good. PP is coming home and I expect him to play his butt off. I want to touch on some college ball. Way to go Arkansas and Coach Cal beating the rat Rick Pitino. Cal will always be one of if not my favorite college coach of all time. My favorite is Michigan and they beat Texas A and M. Now they have a huge hill to climb vs number one Auburn. With that said Arkansas will beat Texas Tech. Plus pencil in the Wolverines to upset Auburn.
Totally pumped to have Eddie House on the broadcast today! Scal tends to truly annoy me! It's just not the same without Tommy! He spoiled us with his Celtics love, I miss his voice. Tipoff is here and let's Go Celtics! PP hits the first shot of the game! Which was a bomb from deep! This Blazers team is ready to fight. JT just posterized the big fella who played for Uconn. Sam I am nails the three and the Cs are up early.
These refs suck how is it possible PP has three fouls in the first quarter. What a crock of crap! So far its a very tightly contested game. Portland is fighting to get in the play in. Cs look to maintain the third best record in the NBA. I don't want to watch a Celtics team without Derrick White. Do you hear that new Celtics owner? Please don't cheap out! The rook finds Sam for three! I am really starting to love the rook. Kid has that "it" factor.
Torrey Craig earns the Tommy point! Saves the ball to JT to which the Rook nails the three! Craig again with the board which leads to JD for Three! Let's Go! JD looks very solid on defense. I love seeing guys working hard on D. This young man has something to prove! Cs lead after first...

Sam Hauser is a guy who has steadily improved every year since he's been in the NBA. I could deep dive into the statistics but I go with the eye test. Offensively his shot is pure! Just like spring water at the well. Defensively he's improved to the point where he can make a stop when needed. I'm just in awe with how sweet that stroke it on most nights. The man is an assassin!
I love listening to Eddie House there's a guy who keeps it real. As a player the man was CLUTCH! He was a huge factor in us winning that game when we were getting rocked by the Lakers in the finals. He made big shot after big shot in that game. I'd give Eddie the job over Scal. Sorry to say but it's the truth! I wish the NBC sports Boston group had done a better job hiring.
Cs have lost the lead they built up in the first quarter... Al nails a three to grab that lead back. I love Al Horford! That man has given everything he has to the Celtics in both of his stints here. He's the consumate Celtic and his number 42 belongs in the rafters. Kudos to Al's Gators in winning earlier this afternoon. We all know Al went back to back in his collegiate career. Those Gator teams were stacked and Billy Donovan was a good college coach. Unlike now where he kinda stinks as an NBA coach.
DWhite with an incredible steal and dunking! That's the essence of DWhite. A guy who can make plays on both ends of the floor. He's one of my favorite players of all time! Yes I know he's not the typical player who makes the all time list, but I freaking love him. He is who I always tried to be on the court. That must be why I love the way he plays. Cs lead at the half.

It sucks that the NBA has made such a system that doesn't allow for teams to stay together. These Celtics currently constructed are absolutely incredible. From top to bottom they are stacked. Especially today being shorthanded, they still look like they can beat anyone they face. It's too bad because after this season I'm guessing the Cs will have to tweak their roster given how much money they owe.
I find the current state of college basketball to be scary. It's really not college sports anymore. It's really semi pro... I'm watching the Cs and the Kentucky game on my tablet and they have no one from their team here who had any impact last season. They have about twelve transfers from other schools. Don't get attached to your teams players anymore. It's a whole different game now. No more days of watching guys from their freshman year to senior year. I loved seeing teams who were built up from the ground level. Especially John Calipari teams at UMass.
Cs must protect this lead so that they can rest guys in the fourth. They will be in Sacramento tomorrow night and given the late start I will be asleep. Hopefully I can catch the replay at work and give you all my thoughts. I love JTs kicks today, a very colorful sleek look. Sam I Am has some very nice kicks as well. JT hits a three plus one! He just knocked down the three in the big fellas face. Absolutely cooked that poor young man. Cs are rolling right now! Just need to finish this game off the right way. PP for three! PP for three again! Tha man is a dawg! Cs lead after three...

In that fourth we saw, JT and PP totally ball out. Guys like this don't come along very often. Both guys have that ability to just make the necessary plays when needed. This entire roster knows how to step up when their number is called. This team is just nails, yes they have lost some tough games but I am not afraid of anyone. Gimme the Cavs, Thunder, Nuggets, and whoever and we are winning in a seven game series. Hands down!
Well if everything goes right the Cs should win tonight. Question is will we see a more complete roster tomorrow night in Sacramento? To be honest I'd let guys rest, I want this team firing on all cylinders in the playoffs. Give me a healthy squad entering the playoffs in April. We'll if I'm honest I think we can win the first and second rounds short handed. We will need a close to full roster vs the Cavs. Even then I still think we can win if we are a man down.
JT is incredible folks, this young man can do anything and everything on the floor. He truly is an MVP type player. When his career is over he will be one of the All time great Celtics players. In all reality one of the greatest players ever in the game of basketball. You can call me a homer but he's a beast! Cs have about five minutes to send these Blazers home a loser. Cs are good to go and finish this one off!
C Us Rise! Bleed Green! Celtic Pride!
