Where You See A Blow Out, I See Problem Areas

[Steve Ouellette]

Honestly my only complaint with last night was that with a 20-something point lead the entire second half, Doc still couldn't find a way to get Pierce, Allen and Garnett any rest. My biggest fear this year is that Doc will run the big three into the ground -- hell, he couldn't manage to rest a one-legged Wally Z, given the chance.

Everything else was positive (well, maybe too many minutes for Scal).

There are things about this club to love...like ball movement, defense and the presence of the best big man and shooter that we have had in years...but no let's see if we can pick things apart...after the FIRST GAME, which was a 20 point win.

We shut agent zero's mouth and gave them a sound beating.  That's the way I choose to look at the game since I am not a coach but rather a fan of the team.  I am happy with the way Rondo played and am quite certain he will improve.  I am happy with the way Allen played.  I have no doubts that he will exert his influence when need be.  I am happy with KG's 20/20.  I am happy that PP is happy to be surrounded by such talent.
