It often happens that one team completely blows the drawers off another and then loses focus and energy and the other team gets going. New Jersey has fallen into that trap.
Note that Pierce was out and Rajon Rondo was in.

Note that Pierce was out and Rajon Rondo was in. Absolutely Q... the Nets announcers were mentioning how much they liked Rondo... Also that our second unit is much superior to our first unit. (meaning that Pierce wasn't in there)

Technical foul on Telfair. Kidd hits the T. West at the line Hits both FTs. Kidd is fouled by Al with 1 on the SC. Kidd misses the first. hits the second FT. Telfair brings the ball up. PP with a bad pass turns it over. Carter misses and Kidd gets the rebound and bounces it off Telfair as he is going out of bounds. Kidd definitely had more hustle on that play as he beat Telfair to the ball. Kidd misses a 3. Scal called for his 3rd foul. Gomes comes in for Scal. (Why not play POWE???). Kristic hits both FTs. PP takes it to the basket but can't finish. Nets come away with it. Nets turn it over. PP goes to the basket and draws the foul. He hits both FTs. Carter hits a 3. Telfair misses a 3 and Wright rebounds. Carter misses and Nets rebound. Nets hit inside. PP draws the foul on Kidd as he spins to the basket. He hits both FTs. PP blocks Kristic's shot and Score at the half is Nets 48 and Celtics 45. The starters dug a deep hole and the bench pulled us out of it. I really believe that Rondo is better than Telfair at the point.

Credit the C's for staying with it and making a game of it. I have no problem with losing as long as the effort is being made out there. The Celtics played hard and are making a concerted effort to run against NJ, that is all you can ask for.

That was a great commercial with Lucky, PP, and Rondo. And isn't it so nice that Scala gets so many minutes that his play is getting better?

Rondo should start and Bassy can be included in a potential trade package for Iverson.

Can't get access to my NBA board:
Philly is locked in a tight one in Orlando.... (Patrick Ewing theory??)
Bucks and Knicks are close.
Cleveland had control over Indiana (last check).
Houston has a short lead at the turn in Washington.
Other games are just getting started.
