PREVIOUSLY...the Boston Celtics have lost two straight: 89-84 at home against the Kevin Durant-less Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday and 102-101 in Toronto yesterday afternoon. Nate Robinson started in Rajon Rondo's absence in the latter loss. Robinson is expected to do the same tonight. Allow me to recommend the January 1, 2010 game tape for a reminder of how not to defend Robinson.

Consider this an open thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game (but pre-recap) thoughts.
