Celtics (34-10) at Blazers (25-21) 1/27

Any news on Pierce in the post game? I only get the TNT broadcast.

Love hearing Kevin McHale talk about the game. He just pointed out that Perk did in fact shut down Rudy AND Aldridge - back to back!

It was during that one offensive sequence for the Blazers in either the 1st or second half, I think.

TP.

Celtics legends all over the place tonight!

Perk looks great even though its clear he has almost zero lift right now. Looking forward to seeing him at full strength. Something is different about him. Its like his touch is better around the basket or something.

I noticed the same thing..it's like he's playing smarter. I watched his positioning in the CLE game and this one, and it is ALMOST - Rodman-like.

Seemingly, for most of his rebounds he was just in the right place at right time..it's like he's starting to read the misses.

Doc just said he thinks he bumped knees with someone. He doesnt seem worried. At the same time it is worrysome knowing it is the knee now and not the ankle.

That is the extent of the update: its the knee but Doc thinks it was a bump. It wasnt the same ankle tweak from the other night.

I feel like while he was rehabbing he just played basketball without his legs. He has shown to be very efficient in his movements.

Rodman isnt a bad comparison. As he lost his athleticism he somehow became a BETTER rebounder.

As physical as the Blazers (Joel) were allowed to play, I'm thankful that Paul's is the only injury we have right now.

Good win! Although tonight's back to back will probably be ugly.

Perk impressed me the most, he totally shut down Fernandez when he dribbled to pass him, amazing to do that when you're a center and coming back from a big injury!! HE looks more mobile than ever and fluid on offense, it's cool to see.

Big games from Ray (his alley-oop was a beauty), Paul and KG (he dished the ball so well). Rondo made the 2nd unit much better and it was needed since Nate is just horrendous right now, I'm not sure Delonte's return will make him better but I certainly hope it will...
