Its about time Doc let Powe play, and he's certainly showing some good stuff. He's giving us what we sorely need; rebounding. Right now, he's at 9 pts, 12 boards.

Carter is fouled he hits both FTs. Telfair brings it up. Pierce dribbles into the lane and stops and hits a jumper. nachbar misses. PP with a rebound. Telfair misses a pull up jumper. Powe battles but the rebound but NJ comes away with it. The quarter ends with NJ up 77-61. Powe is playing very well. I knew he would if Doc would give him a chance. This begs the question as to why he was sitting and Scal was playing in the first couple games.

If all Powe gives us is a rebounding presence, that's fine by me. At the end of 3 quarters, with limited playing time, he's pulled down 13 boards. C'mon Doc, don't go away from Powe, keep him in there.

Not coincidentally we were coming back with Powe grabbing rebounds. Nachbar commits a foul and Tony at the line. He misses the first hits the second. Telfair called for a foul. Nets inbound. travelling violation on Nachbar. Very good defense on that play to cause the turnover. Telfair drives and kicks out to Rondo who drives and has it take away by Robinson. Offensive foul on the Nets as Powe draws the charge. Tony is fouled as he fakes and then goes up for a baseline jumper. Tony hits both FTs to bring them to within 10. Tony playing great defense and draws a foul as he steals the ball. He hits both FTs. Celtics pressing defensively. Nets hit a jumper in the lane. Tony is fouled as he drives in the lane. he hits both FTs. Adams slams it. Celtics miss and Powe grabs the rebound and is fouled. he hits both FTs. Nets turn it over and Celtics get it back. Gomes misses and Nets rebound. Gomes with a block out of bounds. Nets inbound Telfair with a steal and a fast break slam for Gomes. Timeout with Nets up 83-77 and 7:04 left in the game.
This unit is pressing and playing in your face defense and Powe is grabbing the rebounds and we are playing some good ball now. They are running and hustling on defense and that is making a big difference.

Rondo! I'm impressed with TA's D and Powe's rebounding this game. I hope we keep these guys. Gomes and Powe allow us to go small without giving up much in rebounding.
