The Celtics role into the ‘Queen City’ tonight to take on the Charlotte Bobcats who with the newly acquired Steven Jackson, look to be playoff bound.  Historically the Bobcats in particularly Gerald Wallace have given the Celtics fits.  Last year it took some heroics from Ray Allen to save the Celtics from embarrassment. 

Know they face a different Charlotte team; Captain Jack gives them the veteran experience that they needed.  Jackson is more versatile then Raja Bell, he has a post-up game and is a much better passer. Ray Allen is going to be hard pressed to keep him under control.

This Charlotte team matches up very well with the Celtics.  Boris Diaz is an excellent passer and he can stretch the floor with the three-ball.  Raymond Felton is a tough little guard who uses his strength to gain advantage over the smaller Rajon Rondo. 

Gerald Wallace has more quickness and athleticism than Paul Pierce.  Tyson Chandler just like Kendrick Perkins is the last line of defense for their respective teams.

Boston must be attentive on the defensive boards and box-out before they attempt to rebound the ball.  If they do that they can win this game.
