Q at the half
The Celtics continue to outplay the Nets on both sides with the good defense, unselfish ball movement and few turnovers. They have found some confidence right now. Everybody is contributing to the effort. Even Raef has been a solid contributor though he should have fouled VC in the closing seconds of the 2nd half.
Orien Greene stood out with his play at backup PG keeping the Kidd outside.
I look for more of the same and hopefully the Celtics will blow these bastards from NJ out and send a message to the rest of the division.

Q at the turn -
Celtics Pierce and RD reverted back to old bad habits. 9 turnovers and NJ hangs around.
Not good.
Good opportunity to redeem ourselves and get a W for the home team.

Right now it is missed FT's that are hurting our cause. It has turned into an old - style EC slugfest out there. Good game.
