Was going to mention this, but you beat me to it.  Yeah, in fact, the only 
good thing about the game for the C's was the first quarter, which looked 
amazing.  Then it became a big pile of poo.  I agree with your previous 
post about starting Delk, too.  I understand that Delk is *talented* 
enough to start, but would rather see him come off the bench.  He and 
Strick in the backcourt at times against the opposition's subs would be 
interesting.

Still, 3 wins, 4 losses must be considered successful for the road trip, 
but it's too bad, since the last two were so winnable, so close (in a way)
.  Sure would like to see a non-one-on-one offense run by the Celtics, but 
let's face it, I'd like to see it in the majority of the rest of the 
league, too.  We *do * need to milk the star duo, but also need to find a 
offensive system that allows them to get better position.  They are 
working far too hard to get their shots off, and that won't be good long 
term.

Oh, man, *tell* me about it.
