I can't BELIEVE he played the whole game.

He looked good tonight. I still think he's one of the dumbest players ever. But tonight he looked like his rookie self, which is an improvement.

And my Al Jefferson boner is growing daily.

1st place baby. And the guy who I thought was the worst player on the team, Tony Allen is looking like the 2nd coming. He played 48 minutes!!!

yup. sickest game by a Celtic in a long time:

48 minutes, 30 pts (11/13 FG, 2/2 3pt, 6/6 FT), 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals

4 wins a row, and without Gomes tonight, they did it with basically only 7 players. Good times right now.

Also, as hard as this is to believe, T Allen played pretty good defense on Carmelo most of the game. Melo hit some ridiculous shots with Allen in his face, shots that no one could stop him from getting off. And the best play of the night was when T Allen juked right past Carmelo and jammed after taking off from just inside the foul line.

T Allen is still a terrible shooter but he can drive and get to the hoop. When he hits a few 3's like he did tonight he is actually tough to defend.

Love Al Jeff though, he was the player of the game. When things got dicey and they needed a bucket they went inside to him and he was unstoppable. He made Camby look bad.

The thing I like seeing most about Al now is he's [censored] into it. He's thumping his chest after key scores. Big Al is the best.

Yeah, i can't even believe this is the same guy as a couple of years ago. Or even last year, really. He's got all the confidence in the world right now. He's always had great, soft hands, but has seemingly picked up some quickness (probably a result of the weight he dropped) and his basketball IQ (as it relates to being in position for rebounds and post up moves in the paint) is improving every game.

12 in a row baby. The ping pong balls better bounce the right way this year.

The question is: Oden or Durant at 1 (if they can actually get it)?

from everything i've heard oden at 1 is as close to a lock as it gets.

i know oden is playing hurt, but he doesn't look like he's got the low post moves necessary to be a "force" at center...durant looks like an exact replica of kevin garnett. you've gotta figure both are going to be bigtime impact players, but right now i think i'd prefer durant.
