There will be games like this, trap games I might add, during the season. Luckily, we got out with the win. On the bright side of things, you got to give it up for Leon Powe. He played well and during the end he kept his composure and once he grabbed the ball he knew what to do with it. We also did keep them to only scoring 86 points on 41%, the defense will always be there for this team.

I thought Scal was the key for us coming back from 11 in the third quarter. He made a few nice defensive plays which enabled us to score some quick points on the break. He really played well in the third. Obviously it wouldn`t hurt if he could actually knock down a shot or two but if he only gets 10-15 minutes per game I am OK with that...

I actually thought Rondo's shot was the Big Shot of the game. Shotclock running down, we need a bucket, we got nothin, and Rondo pops a little step-back 18 footer. How sweet was that? If he misses, we're down to fouling and hoping for missed FTs and a miracle 3. He showed some serious confidence stepping up and making the shot in that situation. Props to Rajon, if it weren't for that Leon wouldn't have gotten a chance at the end.

A lot of people are getting to see that this season. Big Al has continued to put up solid numbers for Minny. Maybe so-called experts and Lakers fans will realize Boston did give a good trade package for KG.
I still miss Big Al! Don't get me wrong, I *love* having KG, but *dang* how I miss Big Al!
