Quick game report

[HMURDOCH@aol.com]

As one of the WEEI announcers said after a tip in by Shintzius puts the Celts
up 85 to 62 :
"You can't stop him ... you can only hope to contain him ...."
He actually had 10 rebounds in 23 minutes according to the unofficial stats on
radio.

Also sounds like it's Kenny's team - at least from the way it sounded like the
team played while he was in.  Wish I had video as well as audio !
They gave Mercer 25pts and 9rbs, Walker 19pts, Pierce 14pts and 7rbs plus a
3pt or two.  They gave Barros 11 assists - Popeye 9pts, Garnett 7pts
(including at least one 3-pt).  Also had some nice words about Marlon's poise
and ability to get good position on defense etc.
Pierce also got some nice words about the completeness of his game.
Having only 9 players ready (due to injuries) worked well for this game
anyway.  Not a bad start !
