I know it probably won't happen, but I want Doc to start Leon Powe in place of Ryan Gomes tonight. Not only because this is Powe's coming home party, but because I think he can put up solid numbers if given 25+ minutes.

That is an excellent idea Derren. And it might light a fire under Gomes and Perk.

I agree Derren. Powe has proved in limited minutes that he can make things happen. Pierce said that Powe brings what we need and in today's Globe article, it said that Red was enamored of him. Seems that everyone likes what this kid brings except Doc. Gomes hasn't been effective lately, especially on the boards. It could be that his calf injury is still bothering him or he may have hit a wall. Powe would really help this team if Doc would just play him.

Stuck with the GS feed tonight. I really hate having to listen to the other team's announcers. they did just compare Big Al to Moses Malone, though.
Starters for the Celtics are Green, Gomes, Jefferson, Allen, and West. West is a surprise. I would thing coming off the injury Doc would bring him off the bench. I was also hoping for a Powe start and a new coach, but oh well.

Pietrus hits a 3 from the corner. Boston turns it over and GS quickly gets up for a layup. West feeds it inside to Gomes who has his shot blocked. GS gets back quickly. They miss a 3 but Biedrins is there for the rebound and put back. Tony misses a 3 from the corner. pietrus rebounds. Barnes misses a 3 and Celtics rebound. 3 second violation on gomes. Pietrus drives to the basket and misses. West rebounds. Wally misses a jumper and Perk grabs the rebound and is fouled as he goes up for the put back. He misses both FTs. West called for a foul on Biedrins. Time out with 5:51 left in the first and GS up 17-9. so far we are allowing them to do whatever they want. Not much defense going on. GS is running like we should be and they are scoring because of it. They pass up court after made baskets and misses instead of dribbling up like we do. What a difference a coach makes.

It is hard to follow what is going on because they are so busy talking about everything that they aren't covering the action. Also the pace of the game is very fast. Time out with 2:35 left in the first and GS up 23-16

Telfair loses the ball out of bounds. Richardson hits a jumper with 1 second in the first. Score at the end of 1 is GS 33, Boston 21. Watching GS pass the ball up the court like that really upsets me. That is a true fast break and we don't have it. They had Doc on saying how we like to run but not like they like to run. NO KIDDING!!!! The more I watch this team, the more I realize that we are not going to win until we get another coach.

Dunleavy is one strange looking guy. The way he wears his hear is really funny. Celtics inbound. Gomes misses inside and GS rebound. Warriors turn it over on a bad pass out of bounds. Telfair walks it up. West hits a 3 from the corner. Dunleavy misses and rebound goes out of bounds to the Celtics. Telfair hits a 3 after some good ball movement. Davis hits a 3 from the top of the arc. Al tries to force the ball into the basket and Davis is called for a foul. Al hits both FTs. Pietrus hits a 3 from the corner. Wally turns it over. Davis is fouled taking it to the basket. Time out with GS up 47-42 and 2:37 left in the half. Celtics cut it to within 1 point and are back down 5 with Davis going to the line. They played much better defense in that stretch and seemed to be hustling more. I hope they can keep it up.

Delonte seems to be having a real solid game, 10 pts team high 6 rebounds at halftime. Al is shooting much better as well. Hopefully we can build on our second quarter momentum and salvage a win on this road trip.
