PP misses the FT and jazz rebound. jazz miss a 3 pointer and Delonte gets the rebound in traffic. PP hits another jumper.... Jazz miss and Williams gets a long rebound. Jazz hit a jumper. PP dribbles out some clock and misses a 3 pointer Jazz rebound and send a long pass down court and Delonte is there to block it. Celtics win 101 to 89. Good game other than the fact that we were getting badly out rebounded and got one rebound in like 10 minutes and out best rebounder was sitting on the bench.

You are our All-star, FL12. I may just cancel my League Pass and watch the game here.
Solid win. Had it not been for our 45 trips to the free throw line (where we made 37 of our attempts) and our 49% shooting from the field, we may have lost this game (also helps that AK-47 wasn't playing). We were massively outrebounded (45 - 32) including giving up 20 offensive boards!!! And they also dished out a whopping 30 assists. We were only able to muster 17.
Perkins continues to receive limited minutes, but encouragingly, Jefferson got 24 minutes, in which he provided 10 pts and 5 boards. Not impressive by any means, but at least he got good minutes.
After Banks had his breakout game of the season in our victory over the Warriors the other game, he only got to play in 14 minutes tonight (Orien had 11). But hard to fault Rivers for not giving him more minutes when Delonte puts up a productive 15 pts, 7 rebs, 5 assists, 3 stls, and 2 blocks (with only 1 turnover).
Well, we finally got our consecutive wins and I'd like to see it stretch to more games.

Post by The Eye of the Q is upon you! on Dec 22, 2005 16:33:01 GMT -5
The daughters are home from school for the holidays so I have to share the TV. They let me watch the 4th qtr. The Celtics did not need to rebound in the 4th qtr as they either made their shots (thank you Paul Pierce) or got sent to the line (when was the last time you saw a 40 something to twenty something edge in free throws attempted in favor of the Celtics?) and Utah turned the ball over like a popcorn popper. It seemed like an effortless win over a Jazz team with poor talent and poor energy. Celtics took care of business on their homecourt but other than that, I learned very little last night. Scalabrine was thoroughly frustrated and had to be consoled by Doc Rivers. Blount is a scoring center and does little else. La Frentz is not used in the 4th qtr - don't know why - he can play. Good to see Marcus Banks back, any word on Tony Allen??? Have a safe and Merry Christmas.

Good to see Marcus Banks back, any word on Tony Allen??? Have a safe and Merry Christmas. Today's papers say he was put on the IL when Delonte was activated. Doc was saying that it may be a little while till he is good to go because every time he practices he has to take a couple days off with swelling and pain. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and many many Celtics wins!!
