I bet he was just a bit tentative and rusty, but will be back in form in Game 2. and garnett and sheed will be fun to watch throughout. yeah, we really have to see the old Chauncey back in order for the Pistons to win this… we’ll see.

Aside from from getting a little out of control in the 2nd quarter, the boston offense looked so much better when he was the playmaker and his midrange game was working. Loved the play when he drove the lane and drew all 5 defenders, leaving KG with the wide open jumper. Game 4 against Cleveland I was in a bar and freaked about PP not handling the ball and Cassell getting Eddie House's minutes, and they've played better since making those changes. As an aside, there should not be a second in this series with House at PG if Hunter is on the floor. It is painful to watch. After game 1, I have a glimmer of hope for Ray Allen. Here's hoping he's just lightly toasted. I really thought Pierce was they key, moreso than Garnett.
