[VF21]

40-26 Celtics

I don't understand this at all - Pedja back in for Barnes.

Celtics miss; Bibby board.

Bibby, Tag, DArius, Pedja and Bobby

Darius to the line.

 

[Entity]

the guy that hustles and gets the offensive rebounds Adleman so deperatley wants. subsequently gets sent back to the bench for all his hard work. That means Songalia will be next he has scored to much we must get him out.

 

[mazzystar]

Me either, VF considering Peja is allergic to rebounding lol

 

[VF21]

Darius makes first; makes second.

40-28 Celtics

Celtics slower in transition.

Better defense - forces travel by Ricky Davis.

Kings ball.

 

[VF21]

Darius to Pedja, who hacks up a hairball. Saved by Tag, gets the crowd into it.

Still Kings ball. Bibby side to Tag for two off the glass.

40-30 Celtics

Davis with two.

42-30 Celtics

 

[Vmac]

YES, they are coming BACK!

 

[rhuber]

this is going to be Tags night!

 

[mazzystar]

On a side note, wonder whats up with Bibbys free throw shooting this year.

 

[VF21]

Barnes brought hustle; I don't see why he took him out but I'm not the coach.

Bibby to the line - 5th team foul on the Celtics. 7:51 left

Bibby makes first; misses second. oob off Kings.

Celtics ball.

Pierce miss; Tag board.

42-31 Celtics

Bobby out to Darius, miss. Tag called for loose ball foul. Non-shooting.

Celtics ball.

 

[Entity]

the rebounding gap has cut in half since the bench came in.

 

[mazzystar]

Wow, nice move Adelman. Bring back Peja who is 1-5 2PF and 1 board...Ughgh.. Bring the bench back in, never thought I'd say that lol

 

[rhuber]

Tag is officially leading the team in efficiency

 

[VF21]

Davis wide open shot for two.

44-31 Celtics

Pedja wide open three bounces off front of rim.

Celtics ball.

Tag fouls; sends Celtics to the line.

Miller back in for Tag. (5 rebs and a blocked shot for Tag)

46-31 Celtics

Ah, crap.

Another misses shot by the Kings, board by the Celtics and fast-break two for the Celtics.

48-31 Celtics

Pedja finally hits a three.

48-34 Celtics

(24 fastbreak points for the Celtics in 18 minutes!)

EEK!!!

Pierce fouled by Bobby, going to the line.

 

[mazzystar]

Peja finally!!!! A peja sighting lol .

 

[VF21]

Foul on Darius, not Bobby. Darius to the bench, Webber back in.

Pierce makes first; and second.

50-34 Celtics

 

[Entity]

I agree with Webber coming back. Darius hasn't been on a rebound shot or anything in 3 1/2 min.

 

[VF21]

Bibby bounces ball off Celtics foot. Still Kings ball. 5:25 left in the first half.

Bibby inside to Webber for a bouncy lay-in.

50-36 Celtics

Celtics miss; Webber board.

Miller for the lay-up.

50-38 Celtics

 

[VF21]

Raef for three.

53-38 Celtics

We need to keep it going inside to our bigs, IMHO...

Webber out to Pedja for a three - shot is short. Foul called on Boston.

MIller at the line.

 

[Vmac]

falling apart again...

 

[Entity]

Peja and Bobby need to learn just because they hit one don't mean we will. lets keep it simple for the rest of the half.

 

[VF21]

Miller makes first; makes second.

53-40 Celtics

4:00 left in the first half.

Kings steal the ball. Bibby to Pedja for the lay-up AND the +1.

53-42 Celtics

Pedja at the line...swish!!!

53-43 Celtics

Davis trying to post Jackson, cuts in front of him and goes to the floor. Bobby called for non-shooting foul, but his 3PF. Doug back in. Adelman and Chris talk while they wipe the sweat off the court.

Celtics ball.

Payton miss; Raef board. Oob, still Celtics ball.

 

[Entity]

falling apart again...

actually we cut the lead from 16 to 10 since Webbers return. The rebound gap is closing as well.

 

[mazzystar]

Quick question VF, who's guarding PaulPierce?

 

[VF21]

Pierce off the spin for two.

55-43 Celtics

Bibby to Webber, to driving Miller for the hard two.

55-45 Celtics

2:50 left

Celtics miss; Webber board.

 

[VF21]

Bibby to Miller to Webber for two.

55-47 Celtics

Blount for two and the +1.

57-47 Celtics

Time out and commercial.

Kings are looking 100% better. I feel they must have heard me. The Bibby to Webber to Miller and Bibby to Miller to Webber options can work ALL night. The Celtics have nothing that can stop that particular set.

 

[VF21]

who's guarding Paul Pierce?

um, pretty much nobody... They've tried Pedja, Doug, Bobby and Matt Barnes. Pierce is pretty much acting like each of them is invisible.

 

[Vmac]

We Can Do This!!!

 

[Entity]

just because pierce is doing well doesn't mean that whoever is guarding him sucks. Pierce is as raw as they come. He is going to score.
