Comments From The Other Side - vs Rockets, Away,

We ought to kill them on the glass Boston Is one of the worst rebounding teams in the NBA, having to play Dekker more minutes will not help their situation. Also, isn;t Boston a bad defensive team?

Rockets match offer sheet to keep Donatas Motiejunas. Will waive Bobby Brown

So... Is the All-White Backcourt gunna be a thing now? #notracistbutIwannasee3srain

If we wanna win tonight We gotta stop Isaiah Thomas. He leads the league in 4th quarter points.

Big challenge for Bev and Capela tonight Capela got up for other games against more "traditional" bigs— people good on the glass and at defending the paint. Tonight he has to deal with somebody craftier and with an outside shot. One of the first stretch 5s I think Bev rises to the occasion (I hope). Capela might be taken to town tonight. Still, Horford’s best day is not as good as some of Thomas’ average days, so hopefully this will work out.

Horford is the worst rebounding C in the NBA We should be able to dominate the glass and control the game

Are we gonna lead the league in White Nba players who actually play important roles on the team?

You say that like it's a bad thing

Isaiah Thomas 50 pts. Trap game.

please please please come out ready. hoping stevens doesn't outcoach mda

Durant will go off dropping 40 on us.

Tough game. The Rockets should win, but they can't take the Celtics lightly.

Trap game for sure. They eeked out a win in Philly and Thomas just dropped 37. I'm hoping bev can give him fits. We need to try and put them away early if we can.

Show Horford why he made a mistake this summer.

I wanna hear Bill Simmons cry

The Celtics aren't very good defensively. Unless the rockets are exhausted from that road trip, we should have a high scoring game.

Don't let Kelly Olynyk hear you say that man, he may try to dislocate Hardens entire body.

Easy win, expect Harden to go off scoring-wise, he's due.

This team is probably better suited for road games. Toyota Center is barely an advantage to be honest. Celtics by +10.

This is not a trap game..the Celtics have almost the same record as us.. I think we lose a nail-biter

What does their record have to do with anything? Their schedule has been way easier than ours. They are 2-2 in their last 4 against non-playoff teams. They are not solid this season, at least they haven't shown signs of being solid so far. If we play our usual game they can't hold a candle to us.

Speedy PG and bigs who can shoot have always been a problem for the Rockets. Horford is shooting 42% from 3 on 3.6 attempts this season and blocking 2.7 shots per game in 27 minutes! All 5 starters can make the open 3. If the Rockets come out asleep and don't have one of their good 1st quarter starts then it will be a long game.

They are a top 5 team in 3PM, but teams can grab offensive rebounds and (kick out and) score on them, especially against their second unit. Brad Stevens is a good coach with a good system. They really know how to pass the ball without turning it over. They kill teams in transition because everyone tries to outrebound them.

Avery Bradley a legit defender will be on Harden most likely while the midget isiah Thomas a non defender on Bev.

I think we lose, the team will be distracted by the DMo situation and Boston has the length and athleticism to bother Harden and Anderson.....

Make Al Horford regret his decision

People are really underestimating the Celtics here. Sometimes they look horrible, especially when Horford was out with the concussion and Crowder was hurt, but they play smart basketball every game. They are very well coached and are 7-4 on the road. All of their players capable of shooting, which is bad news for us as we tend to leave shooters open. I'd say it's a coin flip, to be honest.

Gotta take this one carefully, as inconsisten as the Celtics have been, Horford has been playing pretty well and IT always has something up his sleeve.

Time to get revenge on Horford

Good thing boston doesn't play any defense or else we would be screwed if that happens

hey the D-mo clone, Kelly Olynik

More like a poor man's DMo.

They're pretty close I’d not be shocked if Olynyk gets similar contract figures

Marcus Smart, the best flopper in the NBA

Good first quarter. Cetlics were kinda garbage in that quarter tho, I expect they’ll play better.

Celtics and Rockets taking turns forgetting how to play basketball. Ugly game

Houston doesn't deserve the rockets, this crowd support is PATHETIC. We just beat the damn warriors and got dmo back, and the arena is a ghost, my entire family yelling wouldn't a make a difference in that place.

I've often wondered if even a Finals Game 7 would manage a sell out

Celtics used every dollar of their $106 per diem, they are slow and fat.

These refs from Boston?

Celtics def scouted Gordon. Defense surrounds him when he gets the ball.

Sign Amir on the Texans! Best open field tackle I've seen this season in Houston!

Great first quarter. Hopefully the energy they're playing with doesn't waver tonight. This Boston team is not to be screwed around with.

Celtics are out working us on the boards

Celtics announcers talking $hit..... Seems like they don't like Rockets style of play...... Whoa....

They are out hustling us.

Harden is non existent tonight.

Harden should have attacked the basket more with Kelly at center..

Marcus Smart is such a flopper!

Well, it appears the refs are on our side tonight.

Harden got a superstar call there. That wasn't a foul

Big thanks to Marcus Stupid for giving the Rockets 6 free points.

Oddly enough I trust DMo to stay healthy More than I do Nene.

Well he's 8 years younger. I don’t think that’s that odd.

8 years that we know of.... You might have to cut Nene open and count the rings to find out his true age.

Lol Harden versus Smart NBAcademy awards right here

After Westbrook putting up a quadruple double last night Harden is like I can do that too with 10 TOs

WHY CAN'T WE STOP THEM?

Well in general we play shitty defense, they are pretty good offensively. It’s just how it is.

Celtics are not good. The Rockets are playing awful.

They are playing harder than we are right now.

Damn Boston is hitting every freaking thing

They need to figure this out as Boston is a GOOD defensive team

This game is rigged!!
