12/5 Blazers at Boston Game Preview

[ucatchtrout]

The Blazers play the fourth of their five game trip in Boston against the World Champion Celtics. This was the target date for the return of Martell Webster who is planning to be with the team on this road trip. If we don't see him play a bit against the Wizards this game could be his first of the regular season.

Gametime 5 pm Pacific Time

Since this is our first look at the Celtics this season here is a video review of their team. Their roster has been changed a little bit with the departure of veterans PJ Brown and James Posey, but they still have a lot of depth on their roster, sport one of the leagues best records and will be a tough team to play on their home court.

Expect Roy to have a rough time. Boston will take away our first option and will make our other players beat them. Two key guys will be GO and Rudy. Boston can't match up with either of these two so if they can have big games we win if not it could get ugly. Rudy has always been big in big games hopefully he comes through in this one.
