Just came back from the game. The Clips never had a chance. My girl fell asleep during the 3rd quarter. Defense looks to be back. KG affects the game in so many ways it's just a beautiful thing to watch him play. I do wish he would spend a little more time in the paint but he just doesn't seem to want to force the issue. Still controls things from the top of the key with passes and screens like few people know how.
Mid way through the 4th quarter loud chants of "we want Pollard" were dominating the arena for a good 20 seconds... So many Celtics fans; so much green around. Truly good to see. We sat next to a cop from Worcester - not a common sight in LA - good to shoot the s#!t.
We're slowly but surely getting back to form. It's nice to see shots falling but the main thing is that the defense is clicking again. The boys got some focus back starting with the 2nd half of the Suns game I guess. I know, it's the Clippers... still, the fire and energy were there. The rotations were there. No big worries.

I was there too. The Celtics look great, but they were pretty much playing a JV team all night. Observations:
I liked how KG looked - he's back in the groove offensively.
The clippers suck.
Ray Allen is a cocky SOB. Love it.
Powe - What the Hell was Doc thinking bringing in Davis, waiting for the Davis inevitable foul trouble, and only THEN bringing Powe off the Bench? I swear I'll never understand Glen "Doc" Rivers. Powe has earned playing time, and I'm not even sure Doc understands that.
Gabe can play.
I go to a LOT of games at Staples and I can say without even blinking that the Clippers cheerleaders and far better looking than the Lakers' girls.
