Come on, Kevinnnnn is averaging 15 ppg in limited minutes while 
shooting  over 70%! If you extrapolate that to 48 minutes, that's over 
33 ppg!
I haven't seen such potential since Nate Driggers.

The whole game had a surreal feeling to it. That's what happens with a 
(heavily) weighted lottery with clear top picks. Can you imagine if 
there was NO lottery? They'd have to sign up the janitors in the 
building to play the game, or those people who get a chance to shoot a 
free throw sponsored by some casino and don't come within 5 feet of the 
hoop.

I  loved it when Tommy "Fair and Balanced"  Heinsohn got all indignant 
about three Bucks'  starters from the night before suddenly developing 
left knee ailments. As though Pierce and Al couldn't play because they 
are on their deathbeds. The Celts were playing a little too well with 
Delonte, so his tweaked ankle likewise became too risky to play on.

Even though I don't mind ABBA,  if the name don't fit....

I'm hoping to see Brett Szabo get a second chance with the Celtics. He 
was quite promising back in the day.
