off to a decent shot. we're running at least.

pierce starting off COLD again.

halfway through the first and Rondo has 3 assists. But Ibaka and Durant are shooting lights out.

I can't wait for May, will they be calling this many travelling calls during the playoffs??

Rosalie

They are pulling all the calls out of the bag early!!

Turnaround jumper by Green from the corner. Boy, is he looking for his offense.

Rondo and Perk had Thanksgiving dinner together last night.

Durant is hot tonight.

Our perimeter defense is not good. A fake one way, a crossover the other and they're in the paint. The Polish Hammer isn't going to help that, only not going for the fake and moving your muffins will. C'MON RONDO!

Now, that's the way a fast break should be run, with a minimum of passing.

down by 7 due to some really, really good shooting by the OKC Big 3.

Green looking for his shot.

Westbrook with 5 assists to go with his 3-4 8 points. He's doing it all. Rondo is NOT staying in front of him.

he should have gotten 4 for that shot

Bob-There is no chance they would trade Sully is there?

nice hustle by Sully on both ends.

DO NOT TRADE HIM FOR GORTAT!

Bench making itself heard tonight. Much more energy from the Celts in general. Offensive chemistry looks good in spots. Fighting a taller team, the Celts are playing a pretty decent scrambling defense.

Rosalie,

The short, honest answer is "I don't know".

I'm sure PHX will ask for him.

I hope not.

18-6 Celtic bench over OKC's.

Finally.

Boy, I can understand missing threes, but Lee was wide open and he didn't come at all close. Even in this game, one can see that really good three point shooters shoot at least 80% when they're wide open.

that's a big difference in what I'm seeing tonight. they are hitting their open shots and we're not. Lee and Barbosa and Pierce are not hitting.
