What a rebounder Love is. GREAT positional boarder.

JET is warm early. Thank Goodness for that.

Unfortunately so is Josh Howard. I thought nobody wanted him?

This Pekovic guy is listed at 6'11" 290#.

Wow, that's big.

Great ball movement. Now let's see if they keep it up or go back into their "let's walk the ball up the court" mode.

2 fouls on Love. Just get him off the floor.

Love the way Wilcox runs the floor.

Hey Berlin! How are ya?

Off to bed, Bob. Keep the fort and go Celtics!

30-27. Nice offense by both sides but theirs has been a lot of 3s.

Rondo's over-the-top passes have been a little off. He'll fix those and we'll be getting some alley oops.

Rondo with 6 assists and Love with 6 boards in the first.

The way to beat this team is to get your big men running. Pekovic, Steamer and Love aren't runners. KG, Wilcox are.

we're attacking the basket, I like that.

torrid shooting by the Celtics. 59% with 9 minutes left in the 2nd.

Alexis Shved making an appearance. You can tell he's a shooter.


Shved, Rubio, Love, Howard, Pekovic, Barea, Dante Cunningham and AK 47. That's a decent lineup, when Rubio comes back.

Evening gents, just getting and tuning in.

How is Steamer looking for the Wolves? I thought he would turn into a good backup center and wish him well.

a little helter skelter.

a lot of 7 and 8 nothing runs in this game.

Hi bob.

He's doing ok. hustling. got fouled over the back and then turned and said something to the back of KG's neck when he turned away. Funny. You know he wasn't talking smack. Probably saying something like "you shouldn't have taught me that!".

I didn't realize Marco Rubio played basketball too. I thought he was too short for it.

Hi Worcester. Good one.

We fell apart the last 2 minutes. Ugly.

4 TOs by Pierce in the half out of a total 10 TOs for the team.

They have 14 ftas, we have 4. They are taking it inside to us. Thank God Kevin Love is shooting a Dwight Howard-like 3-8.
