Now, feel free to post. As you can see, I use rosters from trade deadline, but without injuries. When I reach the moment when Rondo & Sully dies, I decide if I want use them or not, however I have injuries on so who knows what will happen.

"True" run too short to beat Lebron and the pack.

MIAMI, FLORIDA - The King is crowned now. Lebron James received his first ring before the season opener against the "old friends" - Boston Celtics. Heat started quick and hard - they easily outscored the Cs in first half 54-45 (30:20, 24:15). Celtics tried to stop Lebron, as they put on him in order: Pierce, Green, Bass and Lee, but it didn't help. James scored 12 points in Q1, and then another dozen in Q2. He added also 6 rebounds and 4 assists. The other great performer for Heat in first half was Ray Allen, who scored 9 points on 3/4 from beyond the arc. The main scorer for the Celtics was Rajon Rondo - 24 points on 5/9 shooting. He also added 3 assists. In the second half Celtics put on the run. Paul Pierce gave the command to attack - he scored first 8 points for Cs and created 3 easy baskets for Kevin Garnett (ended with 16 pts, 9 rbs, 2blks). Boston performed a 18-2 run. And then... Lebron James. He went 3/3 in 90 seconds. The Q4 was like basket for basket. Jeff Green shined for a moment, when he performed a posterizer right in Battier's face. Then, he rejected easy lay-up from Dwayne Wade (Green ended with 12 points, 5 rbs, 3blks). As you can imagine, the dagger came from.. The King. Celtics gained lead with 2:33 to go, when Jason Terry (14 pts, 2 asts, 3/3 for 3) made a huge three in front of Chalmers' face. Lebron went for another quick run, scoring 6 point in 60 seconds. The game ended with 104-103 for Heat, however Celtics made a real statement with big run in second half. After the game, Doc Rivers told us that Avery Bradley is going to rest for the next game, as he has backs spasms. He's listed for day to day injury.
For the second game, Celtics are going home. In TD Garden they are going to see Milwaukee Bucks, leaded by BJ3, Larry Sanders and Monta Ellis.

Postgame speech - Kevin Garnett:

When one of the journalists asked about Kevin's relationship with Ray Allen, he said:
-Ray who? ... Man, I don't know who is Ray Allen no more. We talked to each other in the summer, I thought he bleeds green as I do. Anyway, he did what he did. I think he doesn't regret this decision. That's all.
Then he told about the game:
-It was tight game. Really tight. We had everything to kill the Heat, but we didn't. We made few mistakes in defense, we gave Lebron space, he's a killer when he is confident. We gave them everything they needed to get the W, so you know. It's on us. Next time we show'em the green.

They played nice defense, and their offense was quite good. The home opener is good chance for another message for all NBA teams. The Bucks are going to start the season with W because they want to make a playoff run this season. Leaded by awesome point guard Brandon Jennings and great defender in Larry Sanders they are going to play casual role in 12-13 season.

Mr Triple Double returns, as Celtics beat the Bucks.

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - Rajon Rondo delivered his first season triple double to help Celtics in home opener. Boston Celtics won the game 101-84.

After heartbreaking lose in Miami, "the Vets" wanted to erase bad memories. They started strong, hitting their first five buckets. By any means, the Q1 was one, big offensive struggle from both sides. Rajon Rondo used it to collect his boards, he grabbed 6 only in first dozen minutes, he also scored 6 points and added 3 assists. In the second quarter we saw the real "Jeff Green show". He scored 10 points and blocked 2 shots in only 8 minutes. Jeff was strong, quick and he wanted to win. He ended with 15 points, 4 rebs and 3 blocks. His performance in Q2 helped Celtics to outscore Bucks, then the game turned into slow cruise to win for Cs. Rondo completed his triple double in third, another player who was close to TD was Paul Pierce. His great all around performance in Q3 helped Celtics to stay in the game, as Bucks stunned them with their quick offense. Pierce ended with 20 points, 7 rebs and 6 asssists. Another important addition for Celtics was great bench performance from all players - rookie Sullinger grabbed 7 rebounds, Wilcox added 6 points and 4 boards, and Jet Terry scored 12 points in only 20 minutes. Jordan Crawford played almost 30 minutes, mostly as a primary ballhandler and he ended with only 9 points on 4/9 shooting, however he started with impressive 7 points in 3 minutes (3/5 FG).

Postgame interview with Rajon Rondo:

Molly McGrath: Hey Rajon, congratulations for your superb performance tonight. Do you feel more like the team leader then year before?
Rajon Rondo: Hell no. I am still the third man in the team, however I am the best on my position in the whole league. No, ma'am. I was always telling the whole coaching staff that if they want me to score, I will. So.. I scored.
MMG: So, are we going to see scoring Rondo in the next game?
RR: Man, I don't know. Tonight we played great D, so I could play my game on the other side of court, you know.
MMG: Tonight you scored 3 from 5 tries from midrange. It was a big suprise for Bucks' defense.
RR: Yeah, I worked on my jumpshot with Truth and Ticket, we spent a lot of time on the gym, when they wanted me to shoot. Tonight I was very confident, I knew that I'm gonna make my next shot, so I made it.
MMG: Good luck in Washington.
RR: Thanks.

Bench Mob a.k.a Gangsta Squad show in DC.

WASHINGTON, DC - Boston Celtics tops Washington Wizards by six points in third game of the regular season.

After easy win against the Bucks, Celtics wanted to start a winning strike in game versus Wizards. They easily grabbed few buckets after misses from Washington players. In the second quarter, the Celtics bench became big and they stayed hot to the end of the game. Jordan Crawford led offense, creating easy shots for himself. He scored 12 points in Q2 only, another 5 added Jet and the rest came from Jeff Green. In the third quarter Rondo scored few easy buckets, and then gave the offense to Pierce, who struggled in first half. Pierce scored 11 points in Q3, and ended the game with 17 points on bad 5/14 shooting. In fourth quarter, Wizards performed a fantastic run, outscoring Celtics 10:0 in first three minutes. Doc gave the ball to the Jason Terry, and he did his job - he scored two straight three pointers and froze the game. Celtics bench scored 44 points, so they outscored the starting five. Wizards bench scored only 20 points, so you can see how big boost was given by "Gangsta Squad", as they call themselves. Chris Wilcox recorded another good game, scoring 6 points and grabbing 6 rebounds; Jared Sullinger scored 2 points and added 4 boards, however the player of the game was Jordan Crawford, who scored 17 points on nice 6/8 shooting (3/4 from deep) against the old friends. He has chance to continue his nice playing stroke, as Celtics goes back to back against Wizards on Wednesday.

Garnett brings Celtics over Wizards in back to back game.

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - Boston Celtics won back to back game against Washington Wizards, led by future hall of fame power forward - Kevin Garnett.

After the tight game in Washington, Celtics came back for short, two game break in TD Garden. The Wednesday game was also tight and hard. After slow first quarter Celtics won, led by Paul Pierce, who scored 8 points on 4 of 4 shooting. In second quarter Boston ran from Wizards behind great performance by Rajon Rondo (16 PTS, 8 REB, 9 AST in whole game). He made few shots and set his teammates for easy buckets. Wizards tried to comeback in fourth quarter, but their run was too short. In last few minutes Kevin Garnett took scoring on his back and was perfect in last 5 minutes, scoring 12 points on 6 on 6 shooting. In the whole game he gained 24 points, added 8 boards and 3 blocks.

They have to get better options for three, because they have low percentage. Rajon Rondo has a hard mission of delivering the ball for all the shooters. Sixers' frontcourt misses Andrew Bynum, who is listed as day to day. With Spencer Hawes in the starting line-up they get more spacing for Jrue Holiday to penetrate the Celtics' paint.

Re: #ALLABOUT18 || Boston Celtics' last run || NBA 2k13

Big game from Jason Terry brings Celtics next win.

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - Jason Terry scored 27 points on 10/15 shooting (7/12 from deep) to help Celtics win against the 76ers.

That was first hard game at the homecourt for Boston Celtics. 76ers was Bynum-less, but they played really well and they have this game in hands to the fourth quarter. They won all three quarters and the only guy who kept Celtics in the game was Jason Terry. "The Jet" started his show in third quarter, when he scored 14 points, cutting the lead tu just 5 points. His colaboration with Rajon Rondo also worked perfectly in final period. Rondo recorded his second season double-double with 21 points (9/16 FG, 1/1 3PT) and 10 assists. With two minutes to go, Celtics led by six points. And then, Holiday got the three pointer, making it 91-94. The next two possesions for Celtics were crappy, as they put Bradley into the game. He played nice defense, but he struggled offensively. Jet came back with 20 seconds to go, when the score was like 95-94 for Phillys. With 5.4 to go, Terry missed jumpshot, and Holiday had the ball. He ran really fast, but Rondo was quicker - he stole the ball and the Doc took time out. The ball came to Paul Pierce, he isolated and he hit the dagger on the buzzer, making it 96-95.
It was another great performance from Celtics' bench - they scored 43 points (however, 27 was from Jet); Green added 5 and Crawford added 8. Wilcox played hard in the defence, grabbing 6 boards; Sully got 5 rebounds. Courtney Lee played well in the D, and he scored only 2, stole 2 balls and blocked 2 shots. Celtics going on two games roadtrip. On November 10th they going to play against Bucks, and two days later - against Bulls.

Re: #ALLABOUT18 || Boston Celtics' last run || NBA 2k13

Jordan Williams signs with Celtics.

Boston Celtics announced that sophomore Jordan Williams signed multi-year contract with Celtics.

Second year power forward out of Maryland was drafted by New Jersey (Brooklyn now) Nets in 2011 in second round, as 36 overall pick. In his rookie season he played 43 games (5 in starting five) averaging 14.8 minutes per game, 4.6 points per game and 3.6 rebounds per game. He was trated in 2012 to Hawks; Atlanta waived him next month. He is 6'10 and 268 lbs, as he "grown up" in the summer.

Williams said: "it's great to be here (in Boston). I want to lose my weight and I want to get better. It's great opportunity to play with both KG and Paul in one team. They are great players and I'm sure they will help me in getting better."
Doc Rivers told us after the game (against 76ers) that: "(Jordan) can be very good role player in Celtics organisation. He can rebound, he has quite nice shooting stroke, which needs practice, but he seems like a very good all around forward. We need meet under the rim, we need players like him and Sully. We have three projects in Jordan, Fab and Jared. They are young, they want to be great players and we want to help them. Players like KG and Bass actually started to working out with both Melo and Sully at weekends. I hope Williams join them asap."

After signing Williams, Celtics have 14 players in the roster with one free place. They have few valuable bigmen, but half of them are just youngens, trying to make their place in NBA.
