Weak way to close out the half...but there's still a little time.

Doc never calls the momentum stopping timeouts.

One last note, that's why I cringe when Pierce and TA are out there together, to me it seems, a higher percentage of TA's shots come from the perimeter when he needs to share the driving lanes with Pierce.

I hope Doc will put in Glen Davis instead of Scal or even PErk in the second half. This is exactly th4e team he should be playing against.

I like that finish to the half. I want to see more offensive rebounding and challening their jumpers though.

Pierce has got to get back into drive mode. 3 of 8 shots are 3-pointers. TA's been to the line 4 times, Pierce, zero.

I agree. As much as I love Powe. I think I would rather see Baby tonight. Now, If we could only upgrade our second Perimeter bigman. We go from KG to Scalabrine. Thats all kinds of bad. Sign Webber.

By the way why in the world did we not pick up Tony Allen's option. What a boneheaded move by the front office.

We did. This is his fourth year. He will be a restricted FA this offseason as long as make a qualifying offer.

Yup, We even discussed a contract extension this offseason. But, I am pretty sure the FO decided against because he was recovering from knee surgery for the second consecutive year.

^ Thats probaly what I was mixing up. I wonder what the numbers were. It would be risky but thats a good way to get a bargain, a guy coming off surgery.
