at [glow=green,2,300]New Jersey Nets (47-31) @ Boston Celtics (32-46) Friday April 14th, 2006 7:30 PM, EST TV Coverage: FSNE, League Pass Radio Coverage: WRKO 680 AM[/glow] New Jersey has lost two in a row so they may be in coast mode resting for the playoffs. There are benefits to winning and losing so whichever way it comes out the Celts win. I am looking forward to more Gerald highlights. I really would like to see some Dwayne Jones instead of Scal. I just want to see them play hard. Not sure if Delonte will be playing or not. No use his taking a chance on further injury if he isn't 100%.

And in other news I may jump in my swimming pool the first time tomorrow night. Really this early season heat wave in the middle of country does not have me thinking basketball.

Delonte isn't playing tonight. NJ is still playing with hopes of having the 2nd best record in the east so I doubt they will be sitting back and taking it easy. Just so we play hard and the kids come in and do well. Hey Q! It has been in the 80s here and I don't even think about our pool till it hits at least 90 ;D

Yay!!! Get Mike and Tommy tonight!!! Cousy is also there tonight. Coos is saying that for the first time in many, many years there is reason to be optimistic about the Celtics. He is totally impressed with Green. He is excited about him and the team. Future in focus tonight features Ryan Gomes. First Red Auerbach award is being presented to Paul Pierce. Danny is there to present it. Red is there and PP just went over to shake Red's hand. He said it is an honor to have an award named after him and it couldn't go to a better guy. Starters are Tony, PP, Perk, Raef and Gomes.
