Hey all, didn't post the last week because I was in Orlando... DisneyWorld to be exact. Which was alot of fun, except for the end of two particular days.
The loss of KG hurt, but so did the loss of Leon Powe as a big body to put fouls on. Couldn't Doc Rivers have hired someone off the street just so he'd have 6 extra fouls?
Ah well. Rondo and Big Baby took big steps up during these playoffs, and Kendrick Perkins acquitted himself well. Mikki Moore proved himself to be relatively useless, and Scalabrine proved himself to be at least marginally useful.
I'm hoping with rest, Paul Pierce will gain some energy, because he had no life these playoffs. He couldn't get elevation, and had to save his energy for needed spurts. Ray Allen lost it in the last series, and I'm assuming that was an energy issue (either that, or he just went ridiculously cold). Boston maybe has one more chance to compete with these guys, maybe two years, before age catches up. We'll have to hope we find some guys to replace them.
Good luck to everyone who still has a team in the playoffs. I'm rooting for Denver now.
