Good half. It's nice to have Pierce back. I don't think there is a player in the league I hate more than Mark Blount.

Q at the half - It was all about Paul Pierce returning to full time duty. And his timely scoring allowed the Celtics to retain their advantage. Other guys like West and Gomes stepped up.
I think Paul plays 30 plus minutes tonight as Doc needs this victory to save his sanity. Hell we all need this victory to save our sanity.
I find it interesting that Minnesota has beaten Phoenix and lost to Memphis this year.
I'm hopeful this losing streak ends tonight.

Good half. It's nice to have Pierce back. I don't think there is a player in the league I hate more than Mark Blount. As long as Doc keeps Perkins on the floor to goad Blonut into a personal grudge match with Kendrick we will have the advantage. Greg Smith is more of a worry for me than Blonut is. Danny picked Leon Powe. If he picked Greg Smith, though, would Doc Rivers use him?

They picked Smith with the 2nd round pick they got from Boston. And why Doc won't use Powe I have no idea. The kid does good things whenever he gets on the floor and yet Doc keeps him on the bench. It says alot that Doc said that no one wants to go against Powe in practice because he plays so hard and is hard to play against... Well, wouldn't the other team think the same thing?

No no its obvious our players are just not good enough to beat Powe but other teams could toy with him!

We are shooting 58% which sure beats the 34 and 32 that we had in the last two games. But we are getting beat on the glass and need to be more active on the boards. We have 8 turnovers already and need to take better care of the ball. I sure hope we can continue to play with intensity the second half and continue to make our shots. We need this win.

Well Tommy basically shot down the internet rumors that he would be coaching again. It's funny that Gorman actually said they are talking about how he would be on the internet.
