Celtics have played better since my last writing. Scalabrine was effective on Garnett. Reed did a good job on both ends. Banks is penetrating well and harrassing their PG (Hudson).
Garnett is out of the game so it would be a good idea to cut the lead now.

Q at the half
Perk and Jeff play nicely together in the front court. Did you see that agressive rebounding and defense out there?
Meanwhile, it is Pierce who is struggling as he always does against Trent Hassell.
The Celts are struggling with the 3-2 zone because they are dribbling instead of moving without the ball and passing.
We gave up 55 but I think 30 points was within an 8 minute span (end of the 1st and start of the 2nd).
Justin Reed, Perkins, Jefferson, and RD played well while West, Pierce, and LaFrentz did not.

Griffen is outplaying LaFrentz (sad)
Rebounding is terrible this qtr.
Pierce made a 3 but has not done the job really.
OK I hope things go better for the C's

Well, if we can clean up our defensive boards, we can take these guys.
Perkins played the entire 3rd qtr, I think he will have to come out for a rest.
Blount has a DNPCD for the 2nd half.
Pierce hit two threes.
Jefferson took it to Garnett and Perkins defended Garnett.
Good stuff.

What I like is that defensive energy being spent out there. Scalabrine's work on Garnett is priceless tonight.
Pierce ought to stick to outside shooting and setting up Jeff down low. Reed is rushing his offense too much.
Looks good now!
