GERALD GREEN IS STARTING IN PLACE OF AMIR JOHNSON!!!


Jeez, Brad, when you shake things up you really shake things up.


.

I guess he heard me??????

Don't know if it will work or not, but Green deserves a shot. Should have come in in the last game when we were searching for offense.
Time will tell, hope it works for all concerned.

I have a feeling Jaylen Brown thought he might get the call, read that he was ready if the Celtics wanted to put him in the lineup.

Good evening all.   Somebody please cover LOpez tonight

That;s what we need, everyone rebounding. Bradley got his first

AB keep it coming

he didn't get the rebound, but I don't like that Lopez was inside Horford again.

This is what I wanted to see happen. Now he has a little confidence, two shots gone down.  Keep it coming.

Hey how about those Pacers blowing a 26 point lead last night? Didn't feel quite as bad, and Toronto losing their second game.

How do you block him out? He is inside on almost every play.

How do you NOT block him out? You know exactly where he's going every time the ball goes up

Evening gents, and Rosalie!

Go Gerald!!!

Final answer for the contest is 77.

Rozier early entry

I think we are going to see a lot of different players in and out tonight.
Can't rely just on starters

Nine minutes into the game, only one offensive rebound for the Bulls. Keep that up!

so far so good.

Wish we had more cutting.

Did you hear Stevens calling that play for Amir?

Jae Hot right now

Breathe, first quarter over. Three more.  Don't know if the nerves can handle this, I am getting too old for this!!!!!!!!!!   God I wish I could drink!!!!

20 POINT LEAD

please don't take your feet off the pedal.

Amir and Jonas in, no Kelly......

Didn't Kelly have his minutes reduced last year in the playoffs also? Not trying to get the rag on Kelly effort in gear, just thinking he is consistently showing come playoffs he isn't a factor?

2nd bad pass in a row by Smart
