Quote:

Preparing for a matchup against Bruce Bowen, Paul Pierce had defense on his mind before last night's game against the Spurs at the TD Banknorth Garden. Bowen, a member of the NBA's All-Defensive first team last season, received restrained praise from the Celtics' captain.

''He gets the toughest assignments night in and night out."

More interesting than Pierce's assessment of Bowen was his contention that he should be considered for All-Defensive first-team honors. Pierce theorized all that stood between him and some defensive recognition was the absence of a top shot blocker on the Celtics. He figures Bowen has Tim Duncan, Tayshaun Prince has Ben Wallace, and Dwyane Wade has Shaquille O'Neal.

Quote:

...''Even Tayshaun Prince. I don't think he plays great defense. He has two of the best shot blockers in the game [Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace]. If a guy blows by you, then the shot blockers block the shot and you call that great defense."

lol... alright it's fixed.

Our interior defense looks pretty bad. The last time our offense looked bad was also against Boston, I wonder if that's coincidence or not.

Maybe Doc knows something good about Flips system or maybe they got lucky last time and kept the same gameplan for this one.

Yea that's what I was thinking, or we could be do for a bad game, or as they're proving now we could just be off to a slow start.

That's the kind of baskets I envisioned Mo Evans scoring when we signed him, not that i mind the three's.

Flip will get it together. He said he wanted to rest some starters tonight I am sure they might be a bit tired from that long road trip.
