Something seriously wrong with Celtics, now.
Nobody stepping up and claiming territory. I look for more of that in 1st Qtr.
this game could very well go UNDER (190),
but i can't make it an official PICK, i usually like 10 more Pts. to do that. Best to just grab that BOBCAT 1st Quarter..!!
Brown also blamed himself after the Bobcats' last trip to Boston. Charlotte opened the season with a 92-59 loss to the Celtics on Oct. 28 - the only time in franchise history the Bobcats have failed to reach 60 points.
The Celtics are 5-7 in their last 12 games at TD Garden, with only one of the victories against an opponent with a winning record.
Leading scorer Paul Pierce returned to the lineup Tuesday night after missing three games with a thumb injury, and the Celtics improved to 21-10 on the road with a 105-100 win at Detroit.
Pierce wasn't a major factor statistically, totaling nine points, but a newer Celtic provided the biggest boost. Playing his fourth game since Boston acquired him from the New York Knicks, Nate Robinson had 14 points. The diminutive guard hit three 3-pointers early in the fourth quarter to help give the Celtics the lead.
Still seeking their first-ever playoff appearance, the Bobcats (28-30) fell out of postseason position in the Eastern Conference when Miami beat Golden State on Tuesday night.
