Good win for us. Perk had his best game since the injury. He finished with 10 points, 6 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks in 18 minutes. Wally seems to be getting his legs back and finished with 26 points on 9-14 shooting. Scal had his best game as a Celtic. Scoring was spread around with 7 players in double figures. Very nice game.

Scal won the Tommy Award. They were talking about Gerald on the post game show and their nickname for him is High5. Good nickname for him.

Sorry to be giving my game review so late. Wow, what a terrific team game we displayed last night. It wasn't a perfectly played game, but it was a tremendous showing from our young team.
Props go to .....
Kendrick Perkins. Had a terrific all around game. He was rocking it with his shot blocking, positional rebounding, and even some buckets. He could be getting his conditioning and timing back, after being a bit rusty after his foot injury.
Wally Szczerbiak. Finally had his shots falling. Early on, he was extremely hot, nailing everything he threw up. When he's off, he's an eye sore because he adds little value otherwise. But when he's on, he's a big boost for our offense and he helps the offense flow much better.
Tony Allen. This is Tony's 5th straight 20+ pt game. He's finally putting it all together, combining amazing slashing with some jumpers to offset his attack. But the biggest thing has been his concentration and focus. He's no longer drifting as much as he used to. Tony's got so much talent and abilities and all that was really missing (aside from a steady jumper) was his focus. Now he's finally getting it.
Brian Scalabrine. Probably has had the biggest fan base turn around in Boston this season. He's still on a very short leash with fans, but its nice that he's having success on the court. Even when he's not going 4 for 4 from behind the arc, I appreciate his all out hustle and body bumping against bigger opposition. At least once a game will Scal come flying in to knock a rebound out of the opposition's hands to give us a second possession.
Delonte West. As much as I have been against Doc playing Delonte at PG (and I still much rather have either Telfair or Rajon starting at the 1), he's racked up 19 assists in the past 2 games, and I can't really complain with that kind of production. I still think he should be used as a passing SG instead of a PG. We got quicker and better playmakers rotting on the bench. Delonte could have more of an impact by using his jumper, and I hope we see that from him in the future.
Funny that, one a night we score a season high 128 pts and shoot 58% from the field, our two high potential scoring guys were non factors on the offense. Jefferson and Green combined only for 19 pts. Scalabrine almost single handedly beat them out (16 pts).
