BTW - It was a touching opening ceremony. The Celtics came out tight and nervous in the presense of all those legends. I like the green flowers and the cigars in Red's seat.

Jefferson is doing real well, overshadowed by Chris Paul, however.

Traveling disease is biting the C's right now. That and they are unable to establish tempo. Doc needs to play Perkins and Jefferson together and give Paul Pierce a rest. Where is Tony Allen?
Come on Doc - Try something to change the tempo. I got a billion ideas.

Oklahoma is about to bury us with that full court press.

The inexperience of our young guys is glaring. The Hornets have the edge since their young guys have more experience under their belts. It's a shame really. Not playing like a team much.
There's Allen!

I like this Rondo kid. I think he is our PG of the future. We continue to struggle in all phases of the game as Oklahoma has complete control of this game. Jefferson has three fouls. Pierce has not gotten it going. Neither has Wally. Tony Allen is playing very dumb out there. I am disappointed right now.

Sczerbiak does better driving than his trademark jump shots. The C's are playing a little better at least not losing ground to Oklahoma.
