Could the Celtics get anymore smaller on the floor than Scal, House, Rondo, Allen, and BBD.

Late Whistles make me want to punch refs in the face.

IT'S A FOUL EVEN IF HE MAKES IT!!!!!!

nice analysis there by doug collins on what Perk did when they double off of him.  I dont have the biggest IQ in the world when it comes to basketball X's and O's sometimes, I never thought of that as a weapon against teams wondering off of Perk.  Ive always preached Perk shooting the 15 footer.

I want a Celtics win.

Doc must have been lurking the thread last night, Cassell out Walker in. Lets hope for a blowout.

Anyone seen Powe? He's getting pushed back further in the rotation.

Great job that Rondo is doing on Nelson. He has taken him completely out of this game by pressuring him in the backcourt and denying him when the ball is out of Nelson's hands. Then when Nelson gets the ball Rondo iis smothering him and not allowing him space to get by him or get the jumper off.

His stats offensively may not be then tonight because for a good portion of the half the offense ran through Pierce but his defense is excellent. Just stellar.

as he should, scal and baby are better matchups in this game and powes play has been really bad as of late

It really this simple. Over the last 2-3 weeks out of the trio of Scal, Baby and Powe, Powe is playing the worst. Hence, he sits when the rotation tightens in tough games.

i'd do the same thing, Baby and Scal are taking steps further and impressing me every night, at the same time Powe has been frustrating as hell.

is it just me or have the refs been especially putrid tonight?

Pierces rebounding positioning has been really good lately

Yes. I think Orlando's gotten the benefit too.
