at [glow=green,2,300]Cleveland Cavaliers (48-32) @ Boston Celtics (32-48)
Monday, April 17, 2006 Time: 4:30pm PT, 7:30pm ET TV: NBALP, FSNE Radio: WRKO 680 AM Location: TD Banknorth Garden, Boston, Massachusetts[/glow]Just playing out the string... Expect Green to start and continue his improvement. He had 6 assists last night showing that he is improving with sharing the ball and making his teamates better. I would love to see more Dwayne Jones as well. He looked pretty good last night in the few minutes he got.

Dwayne Jones over that slob Olowakandi - YES!!!!!!!
I haven't expected much since the Bulls defeated us 4 times this year.
There really wasn't much that could have been done to salvage the season once the trade happened. We have to get better in the offseason individually and as a team.

Game is on NBA TV and we have the Celtics feed. Lebron not playing tonight. Pierce and West both out also. Tommy is also out tonight and so Coos will call the game with Mike. Gooden, Hughes, Z, Murray, and Snow starting for the Cavs.... Gomes, Raef, Perk, Green and Allen starting for the Celts. They are saying how they are anxious to see Green and that he is is doing very well.

Q at the Qtr
Both teams are bringing energy to the table. Tony Allen is very agressive out there and is trying to do too much. Dwayne Jones brought some defense and rebounding. He has to be much better than Olowakandi.

Gerald said that he is going to take a couple days off and go home to see his family and then get right back to work. He said that he can't afford to take any more than that off because he has a lot he wants to work on. Dwayne Jones looks good. Why has he been on the bench while Kandi plays? Maybe they are just being nice and giving him some time to showcase for a contract.

Q at the half -
The band played on. Looks like another close one is at hand. No regrets so far except maybe Tony Allen's FT shooting.
