Almost game time. No Delonte tonight so will be going with Orien and Tony again. Going to be a tough game with all the injuries and having played last night. Big Al will play but couldn't guarantee how many minutes.

Q at the 1/4 -
The Celtics play very energetically and stake themselves to a 5 point lead at the qtr. Everybody came to play tonight. No complaints from this end so far. The crowd is energized too. That is a good thing.

Not a good end to the half at all as the ball movement stopped and the turnovers cost us dearly. I think we will get this rectified and we will see more productive Celtics basketball.

Hope Wally and Reaf kick it up a bit. Not wanting PP feeling like he has to carry the team on his back.
