I'm annoyed that for the second game in a row it's the same two players doing ok. Gomes and GG. AL J failing to show up again. Although 18 rebs is good.

Eja, Al isn't getting many touches in the paint as he is doubled and tripled in there and they can't get the ball in to him. 18 rebounds is definitely showing up.

When I get triple teamed for a whole game instead of taking 10 hard shots and only making 3 I'd try to get 10 assists. And I have to admit those guys triple teaming are doing a remarkable job not fouling him. Usually when Shaq gets tripple teamed he takes 10-20 free throws. Al has taken one.

Wow. memphis is losing like 38-71 at the half. I wouldn't say it's as embarrassing as losing the America's Cup or the American Olympic team losing, but I'd say it's like getting beat 42-0 in a football game or 15-0 in a baseball game. I mean that is pretty bad.

Hey! Good Game tonight. I was proud of the way the kids hung together tonight. Detriot played with a sense of urgency on both ends of the court and Jefferson kicked Sheeds butt and Gerald Green had a career night and got respect. I sure hope the veterans are taking notice that the kids want to play and improve and lift the level of their games to lead the Celtics out of losing.
