Either Portland's really bad, or the Celtics are really good. To me, I think it's somewhere in the middle. Nonetheless, Boston is dominating in all facets of the game and lead the Trail Blazers, 56-33.
Some thoughts...
* Jason Terry is having a great game. Sure he's got 12 points on 5-of-7 from the floor, but he is having a tremendous game defensively. He's denying entry passes and sticking like glue on Damian Lillard. He has held Lillard to only 2 points this far.
* If I were an NBA player, I would NEVER want to play with LaMarcus Aldridge. He has passed the ball only once. Once. And it led to a turnover. I understand he is an All-Star and can flat out score, but he so darn selfish. He thinks he can single-handedly get the Blazers back into this game, but truth is, he's only hurting their chances.
* This game has the feel of a pickup game. With no Rajon Rondo, the Celtics aren't really running any plays on offense. Players are standing around on offense, but players are making shots.
* It looks like Jeff Green only likes to play on Friday's. Last Friday night, he scored 17 points. Tonight, he's leading the team with 14 points. He's being assertive, looking for his shot and driving hard to the rim.
