    Mark Blount has the Celtics first 20/20 game since Ed Pinckney on April 19, 1994. Twenty-eight points and 21 rebounds in Boston 117-96 win over Orlando. Boston's third win in a row.

    Boston back in the eighth playoff spot (tied)........if this keeps up, expect Ainge to make more bad trades.

    That's awesome! I didn't see that game, but I watched the first one against Toronto and I'm really impressed with the way this team is stepping up. It's a good thing we're past the trade deadline, though, otherwise Ainge would be looking to trade Blount!
    Celtics Coach Vows To Keep Trying
    Check out this article. Is it just me, or does Ainge seem disappointed that the Celtics are in a playoff spot?

    Of course he is, why would he want a team he tried to completely dismantle and rebuild to make the playoffs?

    Great game by Blount, and a great fourth quarter by Waltah and everyone else.

    Mark Blount is playing well lately for sure... he's scoring 15-18 pts and grabbing 10-14 rebounds... if he keeps working hard, the sky is the limit, maybe he could be Carlos Boozer II?

    i have been surprised with mark. if he keeps working and playing as hard as he has he could devolp into a ben wallace type of player and the celtics have needed someone with a huge deffensive prescense for a long time now.

    Obivious Blount's playing for a nice contract in the off-season, he has been putting in some very impressive performances as of late.
