Sixers (6-19) at Celtics (20-4) 12/18

10 points 2 assists and 3 steals for Tony -- and zero turnovers.

I know, this is great for him.  Who knows if it'll last, but hope springs eternal.

On a completely unrelated note, if we'd signed Gerald Green he'd have 20 by now.

Can TA borrow that 50k guy's shooting touch??!!

How about Rondo? He's getting good, but a 3-point shot!

[Neurotic Guy]

Perk misses the lay-up, but is there any chance 2 years ago that he'd get that shot up. NO -- used to be an automatic turnover.

[USG]

Not quite how you want the half to end, but not too bad.

[Drucci]

The refs have decided to cut the lead by halftime.

[Tenacious D]

This is key.

[USG]

Love when the captain hits that shot.

[Roy Hobbs]

The Captain closes the half in style.

Awesome shot. Nice first half overall for Boston, especially when you consider how poorly we have played at home lately. Gotta crush Philly in the 3rd and get the startes some rest in the 4th.

TA has been an excellent surprise tonight!

When Tony came in, Doc had him guarding Kapono which I immediately thought was a good idea.  Sure enough, he forced two turnovers on Kapono and basically smothered him and Willie Green.  The offense came in flow of the game and as a result of the turnovers.  This is Tony we want to see.

Baby is going to add yet another dimension to this team.  I know many think Shelden has filled the Baby role -- but Glen can do things Shelden can't, esp offensively.  Shelden has been nice -- but Baby can impact a game.  Looking forward to his arrival.

Just flicking channels and saw Shaun Livingston make a nice block. Can't believe that guy made it back on an NBA court. Nice to see medicine/surgery/doctors have come so far.

I really worry about rebounding without Shelden.

Yes, and he gets his points in the flow of the game.  Davis tends to force up shots.  Yuo can flog me, but Williams seems like a more fundamentally sound player than Davis.
