Portland will not go away politely tonight, all their games are tough fights. They are slow starters but keep after it.

Q at the half -
Celtics look good in pulling away from Portland with the 3 ball. I am concerned about Jarret Jacks penetration to the Boston paint, however.
Celtics will have to play hard and not have any lapses. Also Doc will have to rest Pierce for the 4th qtr because this will be a 4 quarter game.
And we do have a game tomorrow night, so Doc will have to be aware of usage tonight.

Perk got a big break on that Jarret Jack airball. So far Portland is stuffed on the Defensive end. Nate MacMillan called a TO at 90 seconds to get some fire going out of his Blazers.

We keep a slight advantage despite playing at Portland's snails pace. Rondo is in so hopefully we can benefit off Portland turnovers and get the advantage.

PP at the line and hits both FTs. Rondo pressuring Sergio who goes to the basket and misses. Powe with a weak side rebound. Powe with a one dribble drive and slams it home... That is a top 10 play if I ever saw one. Powe draws his 5th foul on the other end. Zach hits the first. Green comes in for Powe and we are very small now. He hts the second. Rondo beings it up. PP nearly has a soft pass from Green picked off but is fouled on the steal attempt. PP hits both FTs. Rondo with pressure in the back court. Outlaw misses a jumper. West rebounds. PP spins and misses a layup. Portland rebounds. West with a block. They call a flagrant foul on Delonte.... Terrible call as Delonte was going for the ball. Portland misses the T. Sergio misses from the corner. West rebounds. PP takes it to the basket and hits a reverse layup. OUtlaw hits a jumper. PP hits a long 3. Portland misses and PP grabs the rebound. PP misses a 3 at the buzzer. Score at the end of 3 is Boston 77 and Portland 65.

Pierce is absolutely outstanding, almost knocked out PDX with another trey.
We do need others to step up in the 4th because Portland will not quit.
