Elliot seems to have improved his play each game.  Maybe he just had first 
game jitters.  Still, he's only been good offensively.  I haven't seen much

for him defensively.  I think he's playing a lot because he's on the 
borderline of whether he'll stay around, and he might have some trade value

so they're giving him as long a look as possible.  Look for him to play one

more game, then either be moved, or cut, or sat on the bench. 

I expect Carr and Jordan won't make the team.

It's good to see Randy Brown play well, and get steals, and see Griffin's 
game start to come around.  

The Celtics had 2 new point gaurds playing for the first time last night, 
and ended up with 12 assists in the first half.  Did you see that, Kenny
Anderson?
