Al's been playing well since the return of Kevin Love. Last 9 games, hes put up 20/14, 15/11, 12/11, 17/16, 24/13, 26/11, 23/12, 18/8, 16/9. In the first meeting, he put up 18/4. Last year, games of 21/4 and 34/11. I expect big things from Big Al tonight.

Good luck to your board.

Rondo's first quarter: 7 pts on 60% shooting (despite two low-percentage shots), 8 assists, 1 rebound, 1 steal, and no turnovers. Unfortunately, two fouls, but still pretty good.

Perkins hasn't been bad, either: 8 pts on 80% shooting, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, and 3 blocked shots. And he only played 9 minutes.

The good thing bout t.a. on that dunk; He didn't explode in celebration like he just slam dunked his way into the sweet 16. Hopefully this means he's maturing.

Haha, Eddie's behind-the-back pass was kinda surprising! What a great hustle/harlem g'trotter play. WOW!
Life may not be the party we hoped for but while we are here we might as well dance!

Well that first half was fun.

TA for the third year in a row makes me think if he stays consistent he is exactly what this team needs.

Our second unit was fantastic and Sheldon + TA's hustle on defense and for rebounds brings some much needed energy plays.... which I think is the only thing this team doesn't have in abundance.

Agree with Tommy about the lack of energy in the 3rd quarter. Disgusted with Doc for not calling a time out. Hasn't affected the lead, as they are hitting their 3's dispite very poor offensive sets.

Paul looks good for the first game in a while, hopefully this is all it takes for him to get back into form

Good win. Great game by Pierce, finally.

Rondo, Ray, Perkins, and TA played well also. TA has been our best bench player since coming back.
