PP turns it over. Nash drives into the paint but can't get the shot off. Score at half time is Phoenix 59 and Boston 54. We played very well and stayed with them for the most part.

Q at the half. Looks like we will hold Phx to under a buck eighty tonight. It is an entertaining game but somehow the Celtics are getting as much experience as they can playing against a good team. They are doing good things, playing the right way but are getting screwed by the rim and the refs alike.
I hope those Iverson rumors are just rumors. Iverson to the west would be fine by me.

Just looking at the boxscores and reading what's on here, but considering that we are shootiing poorly (36% compared to the Suns' 59%) and are nearly identical at the free throw line, we are doing well to keep the game close. A late mini run put them up by 5, but we were tied as we headed to the half. Good job.
Can't wait to watch this game later. Gotta get Jefferson some touches in the paint. And our guys gotta find Gomes more so that he can bury those 18 footers.
