Magic (11-4) at Celtics (6-9) 1/23

Bradley´s instincts on defense make me smile

I guess Avery has played his way back to his first backup PG spot when Rondo returns. I have to give Danny credit for holding on to this kid every time he was requested in trade talks. His offense will come because he was a scorer in college, but his defense is INSANE!

This game makes me feel warm inside in so many ways.

I thought you were drinking Bourbon..! LOL..

The only concern I'd have going into this quarter is foul trouble. We need to keep up the pressure to start the quarter so that we can afford to put Johnson in to end the game. Our bigs just don't have many fouls left.

this game doesn't surprise me.  Pierce had been getting his legs back.  He's only 34.  When I suggest blowing it up it isn't because I think this team is a lotto squad.  We're a middle seed in the East.  The problem is that this team can't beat the Heat or Bulls at full strength in the playoffs.  We'll get to the playoffs if we stay the course... we just will not do much when we get there.

Here comes our 1st quality win!!!!

Up 21 against a quality team, holding them to 10 freaking points  the third quarter, without 5 rotation players? Wow, either I'm dreaming or I slipped into a parallel universe!

sweet play by Quisy.  best game he's had all year by far.

At this point, there's no reason Bass shouldn't be in 6th Man of the Year discussions.

BBD is gonna want a big Mad-Which tonight at Kelly's roast beef..!

usually that's a case of the good team just stinking up the joint.  that's not the case tonight -- C's are just playing dominating basketball AND they're shorthanded too.

Crazy effort by the Celts
