Sorta disappointing seeing KG being outworked on the boards most of the game by Dalembert and Evans, he looked tired out there until the 4th where his passing from the post really jumpstarted the offence and they scored nearly every possession after KG took one dribble into the middle which left the corner guy open everytime.

KG orchestrating the offence from the post>>>Ray Ray trying to create methodically behind the 3 point line.

Nice to see Leon finally get a shot again. I liked his game last year, was wondering why he never got a shot since he seems like the 2nd hardest worker on the team and is a very solid rebounder.

KG had I think his worst game as a Celtic tonight. if that was the only game you saw you would think he was the weakest of the big 3. That being said - its nice you can win when your MVP candiate has an off night..

he had 8 assists. is that really bad? i think he only took 12 shots.
i'm not sure why his rebounding numbers are down. maybe because he has some guards and fowards on his team that rebound really well for their size, a higher shooting percentage on this celtics team compared to his wolves team last year.

maybe a different defensive scheme. but evans is a rebounder. he is fantastic at it and dalembert is too. no shame. thats all they do. i think they may be on the best offensive rebounding team. i'm not so sure thats a great thing. usually means your team shoots badly most nights.

man! wth kind of game was that lastnight ? blow out in the end ? lol...... I will say it was great to dee Powe out there. if that doesnt prove the guy deserves min what will ? the guy is a scraper and always in the right spot at the right time. something the celts need dearly on rebounding cause the ball is always a long rebound to the other team. Powe grabs them!!!

him and davis are good rebounders. maybe doc will go with powe more too like he is with davis. Powe is money!!!!!

IMO, Powe made the difference in turning around the momentum in the game . when he came in things turned around.

play Powe more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If anyone's interested I have the Boston feed of the game captured off League Pass Broadband chopped up in 4 parts and uploaded to a free file host.

His worst night is not necessarily bad. The great thing about KG is that he is so consistent in general IMHO. Guys like PP and RA have "BIG" games but sometimes they can be kinda mediocre out there..

KG is a like one of the best rebounders in the NBA usually and for him to just get BUSTED on the boards like that is kind of shocking.. And it's not our good rebounding guards - PP and RA weren't doing anything on the boards either. Reggie Evans and Dalambert (sp?) were just owning us out there for a while..

hey wayupnorth, seeing as i had to study i didn't get to see the game so that link would be very much appreciated. Sounds like leon did a great job and it's always nice to see that ray is shooting better.

thanks alot

KGs rebounding is just because his minutes are down. he gets like 11 rebounds per 40 mins, which is what he usually plays. 11 rebounds is pretty good

Hardly the best. I'm just glad to help a fellow Celtics fan out.

I can sympathize with that. Finland is a 3rd world country basketball-wise. I hope Koponen (Portland has his rights) actually makes it to the NBA to give the general public a reason to get a little more interested.

Thanks WUN. Australia has gotten a bit better with Bogut making the L, but we mostly see bucks, heat, spurs and cav games.
