That's the goal, Eddie. We want to push the ball and get easy points.
They gotta play Perk a lot of minutes tonight. I think Z is too big and too strong for Theo to handle. Perk should be able to matchup with Z.

Game Time and they are announcing the teams. Starters are Telfair, Wally, Ratliff, Gomes, Pierce. Even though Celtics.com listed Al as the starter, FSN just announced that Gomes would start. Pierce has a big smile on his face and looks happy. Before the game he was talking about how much he likes playing with Rondo. Ratliff is jumping at center against Z.

Telfair into the paint and passes out to Pierce who back rims a 3. James scores at the other end. Doc calls time out. Celtics are playing very sloppy so far. They aren't running but playing more of a half court set. They seem out of sync and are picking up right where they left off turning the ball over way too much

Ok... I got fed up with Comcast... They won't have League Pass until the season and FSN is blacked out so I ordered League Pass through DTV and I am set for the second half... From what I could here from the audio while I was buys giving Comcast a piece of my mind and calling DTV for League Pass, Rondo, Perk and Al seemed like they were having a strong game. Free throws are once again a sore spot for Boston as they shot 13 of 26. Wally seemed to have trouble with his shot and that may be rust or it may be the new ball.

I have the Cavs feed but it is better than nothing. I am really upset that they blacked out FSN... they never did that before. Now I just have to pray that it doesn't rain during any Celtics games or I will lose the DTV signal... they have it on broadband but then I couldn't watch and do play by play at the same time.
