Garnett should dominate, but he's had problems being a dominant force his entire career. If he asserts himself, we're screwed. Good preview of what is to come on the game I'll be attending.

"Kirilenko's eyes started to tear in the locker room as he talked in a shaky voice about his frustrations and inability to stop Pierce. He played just four minutes in the final quarter because of his inept defense, but his small consolation was that none of his teammates could do any better."

- Salt Lake Tribune

"I think he is at a point in his career where he gets very distracted by having a hand in his face."

Hassell is abusing Pierce.

I smell a blowout.

Hassell missed a rebound and got his own miss, then dunked it for 2. Davis, Raef and Jefferson thought they're in high school and don't have to block out.

They said he hit the "deck"...unless they have a camera in the floor 8 feet behind the basket, I don't see how that's right.

It wasn't Pierce. It was Davis, Raef and Jefferson. West actually almost blocked him running at full speed from the 3 point line.

KG from half court to beat the buzzer.

Money.
