this was an easy win. it reminded me of the 86 team, in how the first team was so dominant. to top it off, miami just beat the fakers. the beast and the yeast were super tonite. as good as the chicago rookie looked- rondo was at another level . perk=24 yrs old- rondo= 21or 22, we have some more great times ahead of us.

Another “trap game” that wasn’t.

Perk is a Beast, Rondo is a Blur, and this team is GOOD!

Speed and Power.

you can say it any way you want but rr and kp complete the 5.
i had named perk the pharoah two years ago, because of his stoic,. egyptian look
You could say the pharoah and the magician for all i care. As good as RR may be, naming him the magician soon may be exactly the right name. he has great slight of hand and is really working on his trickery

Can’t get any better than that. Props to whoever thought of that.

R2 and 43PO’d

Perk and Rondo are coming into their own. The talent was there but they just lacked consistancy.

C’s average margin of victory now is 10 ppg. Once Rondo finds a reliable jumper, it’s lights out.

I think we need to ditch our pre-occupation with the “Big Three” thing. Just considering the starters, these guys are totally intertwined and it really takes all five for the team to meet it’s ultimate goal. We were all impressed by Perk last nite. We’ve also noticed, that until last nite, Ray Allen didn’t seem to be playing well offensively in the past few games. As noted in the Globe, I think, and Doc said it in his post game interview, Doc told Perk he was becoming too preoccupied in scoring and wasn’t setting picks as he had been doing. Without Perk setting picks, Ray Allen and others don’t get open. When Perk sets the pick and then roles the other guys get open and anything is possible. Last nite Perk did his job to perfection, Ray got free alot, and Perk scored alot. I don’t know how many, but some of the assists Perk scored on were from Ray Allen, who became free and was able to do what he wanted, including going to the basket and dishing. We heard KG in a funny post-game interview chiding himself for getting only 1 rebound. But KG was big in this game, but in a different way than in the Hawks game. And Doc remarked that before he came out for the interview he saw on T’V that Allen had scored 27 points. Doc thought they were talking about Tony and even though Tony scored a bunch Doc didn’t even realize that Ray had 27. I guess this is just a long-winded way to say let’s get off the “Big Three” thing and think in terms of the team. The media, fans and other teams think “Big Three”, But Doc and the players do not. As far as they’re concerned it’s “Ubuntu” and it really is.

What a pleasure to see basketball played the way it should be played. In the 1st and third quarters the starting five were just beautiful to watch. Even Pierce and KG were satisfied with the offense last nite. But they thought the defense should have been better. They always see room for and seek improvement. They will play one “perfect” game this year and it will be the last game of the NBA Championship series. It’s the only game they were all satisfied with last year.

I saw Perk smile last nite. I definitely remember seeing it on the bench, but I think he also smiled once while on the floor.

All had more rebounds than KG…what the.. lol

I agree, the starting five as a whole needs a new nickname.

How about “C4 and Dynamite”? :P

one of them was a clear,full hand on the ball block so I don’t know how he didn’t get credit for that. Poor guy does look like he is in slow mo out there. I trust doc and da to handle him the right way so we will see if he ever pans out. he is younger than he looks, coming out in the same draft as Roy and Rondo. Its not a fun thought imagining we go into the playoffs without a solid back up 7 footer. Perk is bound to get in foul trouble even if he doesn’t get injured

Tony, House and Gabe are all adequate for stretches. Between Powe and Baby they can throw some size at folks. But we need a Mutumbo for between 4 to 14 minutes. If its not him I sure hope they are all over PJ

for all of us who suffered thru the 18 game losing streak, this current streak is sweet redemption.

Finally Perk seems to have evolved to the point where he can remain on the floor for 30+ minutes in consecutive games. Also, in what must be a first, he played 30 minutes against the Bulls without a single personal foul.

Otherwise, the team needs a capable big in time for the playoff— preferably well before. Scalabrine and POB are without any value, and Davis from the beginning of the season and Powe after an impressive start, have both been disappointing, Davis especially.
