This should be another close contest between two teams "vying" for a playoff spot in the EC.
We got jobbed in the phone booth last game which has been part of our bad luck.
Tonight, I look for a reversal in fortune and get the 2nd half of the 2006 regular season campaign going on a positive note.
Looks like another busy Wednesday night in the NBA.

I'm hoping for a good game tonight. Jamison and Gilbert are tough scorers to contain. I see this as another challenge for Delonte, and he's proving that he's capable of guarding the league's best PG's.

I expect Gilbert get his usual 25 pts against us since he'll take like 25 shots to do it.
It'll definitely be in the high 100s and hopefully Celtics will triumph!

On the pregame Russillo said that Seattle has agreed to trade Banks for Murray and Brunson. Danny is holding off on it until he finds out if the Wolves will take Murray with Blount for Kandi. If they won't he wants to hold off to see if it will take packaging Banks with Blount to get rid of him.
Danny is waiting on the Wolves' decision. Said they are thinking about it.
Boston trades Banks to Seattle for Flip Murray and Rick Brunson
Boston then trades Murray and Blount to Minnesotta for Kandi.
