Once again we have hurried the offense and instead of passing to find the open man we are taking quick shots and also we aren't as tenacious on defense as we were in the first half. Hopefully they will pick it back up. Tony takes it hard to the basket and has his shot blocked. 24 second violation. Nuggets inbound on the side and bring it up with no pressure. Miller hits a jumper and the lead is down to 8. West is in at the Point and brings the ball up. Wally misses a jumper and Al tries to save it but steps out of bounds. Melo misses a jumper and Wally rebounds. Tony cuts to the basket and lays it in and draws the foul. Tony misses the FT and there is a lane violation. Tony hits the FT. Nuggets hit a hook shot. West with a nice pass inside to Al who hits a hook shot. Al is fouled and hits both FTs. West with pressure in the back court. Nene hits a jumper. Wally's pass to West is too low and it goes out of bounds. Denver looking for the last shot. Boykins misses and Al rebounds. Quickly up to Delonte who is racing ahead but he misses a layup at the buzzer. Score at the end of 3 is Boston 85 Denver 74

Celtics inbound on the side. PP turns it over. West called for a foul to prevent the fast break layup. Melo misses the first. Hits the second. Wally misses a jumper. Anthony gets up quickly and lays it in. Time out with Boston up 89-85 and 8:08 left in the 4th. We are not playing defense like we were and we are forcing shots instead of passing to find the open man and we aren't taking it to the basket like we were. i sure hope we hold on and win this. We need more focus and energy right now

Well, at least we know that we have an identity now. We are the Jekyl and Hyde team. Look good in one half, and the opposite in the other.

I don't know if this is amusing or concerning, but aside from Pierce, Jefferson, Tony and Wally, the only other Celtic to score is Leon Powe, and his lone point came on a free throw. The 4 of them have combined to score over 100 pts.

Pierce closing in on a quadruple double; 36 pts, 8 rebs, 9 assists, and 6 TO's ;D He's had a terrific game, as has Tony Allen (career high 30 pts and 8 boards) and Al Jefferson (rack up another double double for the young kid).
Who will get the Tommy Award tonight? Stay tuned.

As long as we don't throw the ball away or miss our free throws, this game is ours.
