Oh yeah, I think you guys are going to lose tonight against Golden State too. Nothing personal, just think that they're still psyched over yesterday's win over Toronto and you guys won't be able to keep up with the trading of baskets. Golden States offense is amazing.</p>

I actually think Golden State can beat you guys as well. They give everyone matchup problems with their small-ball lineups and they have their swagger back.</p> Boston has been prone to getting in foul trouble and the Warriors are good at getting to the line (but shoot a low percentage). If the Warriors get one of the Big 3 in early foul trouble, Boston could fall behind by too, many points to catch up.</p>
At least they don't have Howard.</p> KG will have his way with Biedrins or anyone that they throw at him.</p>

Oh and we've already played the league's highest scoring team, the Nuggets, and blew them out of the water so there you go. We also got one of the league's top ten offenses.The Warrior's won't beat us just because they beat Toronto.</p>

The question is whether or not Boston can keep up with the Warriors pace and also stay out of foul trouble.</p> </p>

This team reminds me of the Houston team with Barkley, Pippen and Olajuwon some time ago, not the special Celtics with Bird or the even more special Bulls with Jordan. I'm not jumping to conclusion previously, just stating something you said in the Nets post some time ago.</p> </p>

I think the GS game will be a close one. Jax is back, and while Baron's the heart of the team, Jax is the soul of the team.</p> The thing is, what will the starting lineup be for Golden State? If they include good tall wing players, they can take the Davis vs. Rondo advantage. No way can Rondo hold down Davis.</p>

You have absolutely no idea how loyal Celtic fans are. I, for one, have only missed about 10-12 games in the past 3-4 years and last year - when we won 24 games - still watched all 82 games and wrote game previews/recaps. The Celtics have more legit die-hard fans than any other NBA franchise, and that's a fact.</p> </p>
