We are having a terrible shooting night. Even Wally who we got because he is so efficient is 3 for 9. PP is having a terrible night. We are just playing terrible all the way around. On the other hand Blount, Banks, and Reed are playing great. We really need to pick it up and quick. Blount was talking to Dickerson and said that he is very happy to be somewhere that he is wanted and that he was happy to be the centerpiece of a big trade and happy to be on a title contender and being a part of it. I am so glad he is gone. Ricky is trying too hard and only has 3 points but just as he did in Boston he does other things in that he has 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

Not a good half of basketball at all by the Celtics........ The ex-Celtics, particularly Banks, Reed, and Blount are taking it to us.
Nobody is doing much for the Celtics and frankly I see no signs of life. There are much better games to watch than this pig of a game.
Back to Miami and the Clippers.

it seems obvious how important perk is. he must play the game out without picking up any more fouls. he seems, more and more, to be the glue that makes this a winning team.

I wish i was watching this game, I cant understand how we are playing so porly at both ends? We can't hit anything. Even layups and dunks. We have missed a ton of bunnies and no one is stepping up. We have no offense on our second unit and our starters aren't much better tonight. We are missing open shots so it isn't just the defense. On the other hand, Blount is playing like a man possessed. We are turnign it over and just not playing hard.
