vs [glow=green,2,300]Date: Monday, March 20th, 7:30 PM TV: NBALP Team 3, FSNE Radio: WRKO 680 AM [/glow] Both teams played last night so fatigue should be the same for both teams. We are a bit more beat up than they are, though. The fact that Tony Brown limited the starters' minutes somewhat should help us tonight. The kids came through for us last night and hopefully will again if Doc will use them correctly and let them play. Perk's quote in the paper today says a lot in that the bench played loose because they weren't afraid of being pulled when they made a mistake. Lakers will be coming in with revenge on their minds. They had a tough loss yesterday after blowing a lead in Cleveland. We are the last stop on a 3 game trip for them and they will be looking to come back from yesterday's loss and avenge the loss to Boston in LA. I look for it to be a hard fought game with both teams struggling to make the playoffs. Hopefully the Celts will play like they are capable of and the bench will come through for us again!

Doc is back tonight. I do hope he doesn't take it out on Perk for what he said about Brown letting them play. We need Perk in there as he has been playing great. Hopefully West will be ok because he played 39 minutes last night, most of any starter. Wally should be fresh since he played 34. Lakers played last night too and they are on the road so that should give us a slight edge.
