What an entertaining half of basketball. Win or lose, you just can't ask for much more than what you are seeing tonight at Philips. A few thoughts:The Celtics are shooting 40% from the field right now. Take out their fiery start when they broke out to a 16-3 lead, and it's even worse. I said in Boston I didn't think our defense was the problem, and it hasn't been in Atlanta either. Now that the offense is scoring, we are seeing much more competitive games.
Mike Bibby in Games 1&2 = 17 points total. Game 4? 18 in the first half. We are much better when he is on his game, there is no doubt about it.
Fouls - Pierce has 3 for Boston and Zaza has 3 for Atlanta. Several have 2 for each team.
