Pierce is looking great coming from the bench.

Will Brook be available by wednesday?

Anderson has been really good (much to my surprise) as a starter since Pierce decided to come off the bench, but I think you're forgetting what Kirilenko is capable of. I'd probably start Anderson as well, but his minutes would be reduced with Kirilenko back in the fold. I could see us doing this:

Lopez - Blatche
Garnett - Kirilenko
Johnson - Pierce
Anderson -
Deron - Livingston

With Mirza getting the rest of the minutes once Joe is playing the two and kirilenko plays the 3.

Just watched the JJ highlight video from last night.

Damn I wish he got to play more in the fourth to break the record and end up with like 15.

that toko block attempt at the end of the game made me angry, guy comes into the game something bad happens nearly every time he touches the ball. Then he hustles back to potentially injure a guy out of frustration.. In freaking garbage time... after a horrible lob attempt.

I'd almost prefer to have some vet stiffs at the end of the bench than Plumlee, Toko and Tyshawn. Those guys are pretty raw. It was a nightmare when they were playing serious minutes.

Crazy night from Joe. He was an inch away from setting the record for most 3s in a quarter with that long 2. And then in the 4th it's a club history night and Pierce is on the floor and our scrubs take turns throwing away possessions for the rest of the game... Right after Pierce hit back to back 3s.

Back to back ...... & a third three a minute later.

Hopefully, this is a small sign that his fractured shooting hand has started to heal & his hand is becoming more functional. When the hand has completely healed, Paul will shoot lights again.
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

AK offers you better defense, passing, steals, blocks, size, transition offense, and rebounding. Anderson gives you better shooting. While I agree Anderson has played well and seems a good fit with JJ, AK is better.

I'm really loving what KG has brought to the team in recent games. The defense, the energy, the hustle, the leadership, the communication, the high IQ play, and even the midrange shooting...it's all been there.

People forget, but KG is THE reason why people felt like we had the potential to contend with the big boys, as opposed to last year...he provides everything we were missing, and especially on the defensive end...people can't just PnR us to death anymore, and we're not going to get lost on as many defensive rotations anymore...because KG is there to communicate with our players and tell them where to be, and he's there to help Brook on the PnRs, or defend the PnRs himself.

I really hope he keeps bringing this type of play for the rest of the year, because we'll be in great shape if he does.

When we have to play against guys like James, George, Durant, and Anthony? I'll take AK

I'm mad at Joe for having a toe on the line for his long 2. Would have been a 30 point quarter with 9 three's.

Sir Paul McCartney needs to come to every game.

Was Molly Sullivan there? And does anyone else like Meredith Marakovits? I'm like the only one of my friends who finds her attractive.

I couldn't agree more. I mean, he's usually a slow starter anyway and has been ever since his knee injury and although this season has started historically bad for him, I think he's turning it around.

I still remember people calling him done in 2012 when he started the season averaging ~13 / 7 on 52.9 TS % for the first 20 games and then he went on to average 17 / 9 on 55.9 TS % for the rest of the RS. And then he went on to play 20 playoff games averaging 19 / 10. So there is some evidence that suggests that he'll get better as the season goes on, although I will admit that he had me legitimately worried for awhile.

Obviously age is catching up to him but aslong as we find ways not to expand his energy too much offensively he can still be one of the best per minute defenders in the league. People calling for his retirement early in the season were pretty silly.
