Celtics vs. Nuggets 12/15

8-13 Boston has a tough task ahead of them going against 12-8 Denver. Should be a good test to see how stong we are during this 3 game winning streak.

This is gonna be a very difficult match up for the C's. We'll need a big game outta Paul, Wally, and Jefferson...Our defense has been MUCH better as of late so we'll need to keep that up as well

My prediction for tonight is the C's upset Denver...we seem to play them well looking over the #'s from last year...and I think we have a better team this year

Lets see if we can make it 4 in a row!

I won't be following the game too much tonight, another final exam tomorrow morning at 7am. A final on a Saturday, how horrible is that.

Go Celts!

Damn...well i got the forums set as my homepage so ill throw the highlight of the game up here once its finished

Good stuff, I'll check it out later tonight.

We havent played a minute yet and its already bad...Ryan Gomes will not play..Brian Scalabrine is starting tonight...At least I'll get to see my favorite rookie Leon Powe get some minutes

Okay before I get into the game I just wanna say two things. I am now officially drinking the Tony Allen kool-aid, and if the Celtics involve Al Jefferson in a deal to Philly for A.I they will regret it for years to come. Tony Allen had a career night tonight against Denver scoring a career high 30 points, 8 Rebounds & 3 steals. In the first half to start off the 2nd quarter he put down a huge dunk and was explosive the whole night as he played 46 minutes and started the night on 8 for 8 shooting. Al Jefferson scored 28 and brought in 10 Rebounds for another double double, and Paul Pierce dropped 38 points on Denver.
The interesting stat that sticks out to me is the Celtics has 6 players with 3+ assists. Before the game Doc said he was going to play Wally as a 6th man from now on out, which is a move I love. It will bring experience and poise to a young inexperienced 2nd unit. The C's put up they're highest scoring half of the season and the Denver Nuggets never had a lead throughout the entire game as the C's took it 117-113.
This win brings Boston to a tie in the Atlantic Division and sets their longest win streak of the season at 4. They face Charlotte in Charlotte tomorrow as they'll try to make it 5.
After seeing how the team played tonite, Im now against the idea of Iverson coming to town. Al Jefferson has finally developed into that all-star caliber big-man, and really our #2 weapon.

Nice, sounds like a good W for Boston. Lets hope Al is really starting to come into his own and not just showing some random flashes of brilliance. I'll have to see if I can catch some SportsCenter highlights before I hit the sack.

Thanks for the report.
