When the moment is right.

In between missing gimme' layups. I am loving the dunks.

What happened to Rondo's headband????!!!!

I'm excited for this year. They'll have their ups and downs but it should be fun. This whole new technical thing could be a joke but maybe Perk will learn from it. They should just call it the Celtics rule.

If Shaq can rebound and have guys like we have on this team feeding him the ball "when the time is right" he will be a huge asset! They look great but the turnovers are letting the Heat back in this game!

Sidenote......Miami looks like crap! I think those egos will clash all season!

I'm no basketball fan but with Shak on the Celtics I may follow the team a bit because the guy is a riot !

Shag, O'Neil, Perk, Garnett, and Big Baby. That's alot of fouls to give in the paint in the playoffs. They're old but they're deep.

You ain't kiddin' Mike......I was thinking the same thing! Why is Perk out?? Also was wondering where Rondo's trademark sweatband is???

Why is Perk out??

Still recovering from his finals injury. I thought he wouldn't be fully back until after the all star break but he was on the court shooting pre-game.

Rondo looks bald without his headband, I don't like it


Perk tore ACL game 6 remember? he's still recovering


Lebron has gotten going, where is our defense?


I see big Vince is in the house behind the basket:uhuh:

James is coming on pretty strong now - maybe he'll rest the rest of the game :devil2:

Don't the announcers know the Celts bench has been deep for 4 years now!! They talk like they have never had any depth until this season??:smash:

Pierce is back in now....nitey night King James!

yep

the celts don't get enough games on TNT since they were busy washing the balls of teams like Cleveland,orlando etc. so they apparently aren't familiar enough


KG will will us to win :uhuh:

I love Big Baby! The guys got game! Earlier the announcers also mentioned after a BB bucket......they had no idea he had such moves!!!!:smash: Obviously they did not watch the playoffs last season....Big Baby rocked It last post season!!!

Better hope he can rebound cause he sure as hell isn't shooting better than 50% from the line :grins:

Marv Albert was too busy munchin' on some chick's ass to pay attention to the Celts the last few years. :rotf2:

BTW.....Loving the D Rose add with the dude from The Hangover in all the bling.

he never will Bill


good game
crowd was nuts

Miami Beat!!!!:rotf2:

I liked the "Big Head" commercial!!!:rotf2::rotf2:

Better hope he can rebound cause he sure as hell isn't shooting better than 50% from the line :grins:

The Celts did not get Shaq for his foul shooting! I see him running the lane and dunking quite a bit this season! Rondo and the rest of the team will be looking for him running the lane like a freight train!!!

glad the season is underway. Good win. Miami is going to be very good once they jell. You can just see it but I think our depth will put us ahead of them by seasons end but don't count them out they are going to be very good.

What happened to Rondo's headband????!!!!


Rondo was wearing the headband upside down and the league told him he wasn't allowed to. They said he had to wear it the correct way or not at all, so he decided not to wear it.

The best thing about it is that the reason he was wearing it upside down is because the players image on the NBA logo is Jerry West, a former Laker. Rondo didn't want to wear a headband with a Laker on it. Makes me like him even more.

Great start to the season last night.

Awsome info! Thanks fishbones.

i got to get involved with NBA now. what's the new technical rule? hopefully we'll get to see shaq brake a few backboards this season. or have him break the hydraulics and watch the basket slowly lower down. that stuff makes me laugh.

so, watched last night. the new t rule is garbage. i think i saw shaq just talking to rondo or nate about a the technical nate got towards the end. then all of a sudden that salt and pepper haired ref t'd shaq up for nothing. bushleague
