Sticking it to Fatione would be a positive start. I think Perkins has to play well and stand up to Shaq. This would be a good opportunity to break the ice somehow.

Game tonight is on NBA-TV. I like them on League Pass better because we don't get the Celtics half time but they cut back to NBA TV for the half time commentary. At least we get Mike and Tommy calling the game. Rondo, West, Perk, Gomes and Al starting. I think starting Perk against Shaq is a good move.

Q at the half - THe Celtics are playing hard and not playing badly considering the opposition. They need some outside shots to fall. The Celtics have to keep the ball moving and get open looks at the basket. On defense, we need to force some turnovers and convert those into transition points.
