Well what a week.
Pierce wins the three point comp at ASW, Rondo gets his first selection, Ray ALMOST gets traded, House gets traded, Danny gives up on JR and Walker, we beat the Lakers in LA, Beat the Blazers away and expect Nate to join us for the Denver game.
pheeewwww
Got to watch todays game and even though we really didn't have PP the rest looked good after a third of the way thru the first. Before that the offence was just horrible to watch but we stayed in it thru getting the stops preventing the Blazers getting into any system. Camby really thru that out.
Rondo simply got us the W today and did as he pleased out there, KG is moving better and as a result of his legs being better his shot was certainly on even hitting a 3! We killed it in the paint and Ray shot the lights out when needed and meant we sat Rondo and KG for the entire 4th. Perk sat also and so too Pierce. Doc didn't panic to my surprise.
Tony Allen had great energy and his quickness is improving all the time depsite a rumour of an ankle injury, great D but still a few too many 'TA' moments of brain fades.
The Blazers being youngish, long and with run are the sort of team that normally challenges us but they were damn sloppy. Fernandez leaves his feet WAY too much.
Great to see Mills get minutes though and he hit a great jumper off a step to start it off.
Dare I say we actually looked better without PP in there forcing too many shots or looking for a foul when he is obviously banged up and should be resting.
How Nate will fit in is still a guess but pushing the ball up the floor with the younger more athletic second unit of TA, BBD, Daniels, Scal should be a better fit and even though I love Eddie we still have plenty of perimeter fire power to cover him when needed. I just wish we got more of Bill Walker when we had the chance, throwing he and JR in just to match salaries was criminal but I guess DA gave up on them already.
A win next up would certainly send the league a message not to judge an obvious playoff team on their win loss record come playoff time. All we need to do is stay/get healthy.
