Great win, pretty tough 3 games coming up though
Suns, possibly without Perk, and down to florida for a back-to-back against 2 good teams, which if you remember the Lakers lost back-to-back down there so its gonna be tough

anybody else see KG limp to the locker room?  maybe its because his knee was iced, but I saw him give Paul a high five then turn around a limp towards the tunnel

Yeah. Let's hope it's the ice  ???

Great win - we've now gained a game on the Lakers this weekend.  If we can beat Phoenix at home Monday we're guaranteed to pick up a game on Cleveland or another one on LA too.  We're positioning ourselves to be in great shape in the standings by the All-Star Break.

Walker has potential but still looks way too inconsistent to get rotation minutes.  Nice to see him get some burn and hopefully he'll tighten things up with more time and be able to contribute.

Gracias. I'm glad I TiVo'd this so I can watch again tonight - well, the first half anyway. The Rondo Show.

The Net announcers were correct. That clearly was a flagrant foul by Walker. Worse than that, it was bush league. Doc or someone need to explain the difference between playing hard and playing bush.  I did not like his play at all this afternoon. He fumbled the ball several times, his outside shot looked very tentative. I can't believe guys on this string are just lauding how well he played. I am not bashing him, I want him to succeed, I love his athleticism. But c'mon, the guy had a lousy run today.

He made a play on the ball, how is that bush? I don't care if they call a flagrant as that is basically only based on how the player lands not the actual foul.

Yeah, that really wasn't a flagrant. The player had forward momentum to begin with, so the additional force generated by Bill Walker's foul sent him careening forward. It wasn't that hard of a foul, and he was making a play on the ball. It was entirely based on how Anderson fell, and since he sprawled out on the baseline and pretended to be paralyzed for a few seconds, the refs sympathized.
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.
