To those making your predictions of who will win these games: Garnett is out for the Celtics today (and very likely to be out Tuesday vs. Miami).

I'd like to see Leon Powe get some more time, like he has the last 2 or 3 games. Whenver I've seen Powe and from what I've heard, he's consistently productive on both ends when he gets time. I ike his game a lot as a complementary player.

What's good about Powe is that he's a good offensive rebounder and knows where to be on the court. Him and Pierce usually have good chemistry.

Suns-Bulls-If the bulls win thsi one more power to them but I jsut can't see it happning Suns win 118-103.

Celtics-Magic-No KG their Defensive intensity I can see shutting down which means Magic win 109-103.

Cavs-Lakers-I just can't see Kobe letting the Lakers drop this one. Lake Show wins 105-102.

Wiz-Bucks-The Wiz have been mightly impressive without Gil and it will continue here tonight with a 106-85 Victory.

Hawks-Trailblazers-The blazers got them earlier on clutch play by outlaw this time I can see the Hawks coming out of the rose Garden on that same type of play Hawks win 108-106.

Nuggets-Mavs-The Nugs without Melo and @Dallas it looks pretty bad but hey Kleiza has done a Impressive job at the SF position while Melo's been out. Last time we played at Dallas we won by 13 and Melo shot jsut 9/30 from the field. Plus since acquring AI we are 2-0 vs the Mavs. Nugs win 106-100.

Nets-Wolves-I can see the wolves winning this one tonight 94-88.

Jazz-Rockets-A rematch of last years playoff series. The Jazz have been great @ home this year but have struggled mightly on the road and it won't change tonight Rockets win 103-91.

Knicks-Warriors-I don't really know what to say on this one but the warriors win Big 113-95.

Kings-Sonics-K$ is back and the Kings are a pretty solid team. The sonics have dropped what 13 games in a row it has to end sometime right. Well not tonight Kings win 107-93.

Celtics getting a lot of ticky tack fouls while the Magic can't get a call.

Hopefully that changes around in the second half.

Yeah, he's a younger player, not too athletic, but mature and smart. Seems to get the most of his ability. Probably being a 4-year college player contributed a lot to that.

Did a nice job in his first stint... 7 pts, 7 rebs, 12 minutes... like is said about him, the guy consistently produces in what time he gets.

Just part of why the Celtics do have decent depth. Now he probably won't be used much for the playoffs this year, but in general, he's another guy who can come in and play well.

Yeah. But despite the Magic being at home, I think the Celtics being the more aggressive team plays a part to that.

Why no PT for Big Baby Davis? Certainly he's a better option than Scalabrine.

That's how it is for the Magic though.

If they're at home, it's because the other team is more aggressive.

If they're on the road, it's because the other team is at home.
