Everybody contributing, and I mean everybody. Jermaine blocking shots and rebounding. Erden five points in 6:46. Rondo eight dimes and three steals. Ray stroking it. PP with an under control thirteen points. Davis with a length of the court pass to a streaking Erden for two (and one). Daniels with another silky smooth performance. And Nate with the buzzer beater at the half. Now go out and bury these guys in the second half, please.
This team is going to be something when Delonte and Shaq join in. How can anyone not like this team?

Keep the pedal to the metal fellas! Take no prisoners tonight.
The bench looks terrific.
LUV BBD's charges taken! What a demoralizer to have that big OAX step into your path to the rim.
OUCH!

I couldn't decide between the oaf and the ox so I split the difference.
Here come the Thunder!!!!

Another stone cold third qtr for the C's. Too much one on one play resulting in turnovers. Doc should have had the bench in there for a few minutes. Twenty-two point lead down to nine. -

Great first half followed by a HORRIBLE 3rd quarter. Too many turnovers and no defense. Durant is torching Pierce. KG looks indecisive, he doesn't seem to know what to do with the ball.
We have to play together and move the ball around offensively. We also have to play better team defense. -

SEMIH ERDEN, giving us what we need in the 4th quarter. Somebody please give this kid a pair of black or green sneakers. He's got to get rid of the white shoes. -

Can you believe we have a 5 who can shoot FTs!!! How long has it been?
The Chief maybe?
Nate.... Semi.... BBD.... and now RA!!!
The bench continues to excel. Back up to 17ish with RA's trey!!!
Wow!

Sure is great to see our bigs knocking down free throws. Erden looks like he's poised to become an important piece of this team. Sorry Perk, but Erden shows more promise.
Note that when Doc went to the bench plus RA, they totally turned it back around. Methinks we are going to have the best bench in the league by playoff time. -

And pud, I have to point out that Rondo has knocked down a couple of very smooth looking J's tonight. -

Uh oh. Starters with Davis (for O'Neal) back in. Lead slipping again. This is the same group that let the big lead get away in the third quarter. -

Agree. Durant is a complete STUD!!
I love Erden......he's solid, doesn't make mistakes, bangs and hits his FT's. He's earned some mins even when Shaq comes back! -

Starters held it together the last few minutes. Great all around game other than the last six minutes of the third quarter. The bench was sensational tonight. I have a feeling we'll be seeing some new threads here for Semih.
Back to back against Dallas tomorrow. I hope Doc makes good use of the bench again because there will be some tired legs. I love this team. -

Great bench play tonight. They had a lot more energy than the starters.
Semi had a 9 and 5 game and BBD was in double figures.
Hack-a- Rondo worked tonight. I caught the 2nd of Rondo's mid-range jumpers. Saw him pass up a number of easy j's late.... but awfully pesky, quick hands with the game winding down. Some big defensive plays.
How about BBD making 3 18 footers in the 4th to keep things civilized! Clutch!Pay the man for his efforts... long term contract.
BBD and Semi are co-MVPs for the game.

Danny better offer a nice contract to Baby! He has improved A LOT!
I also like Daniels' game. He's got the skills! -
