    Bill Walton salivating all over his performance tonight vs Sacramento.

    He used words/phrases such as "a real gem", "polished", "emerging", "nimble", "great with the left hand"

    Did he get his first start because another player was hurt or did he work his way into the lineup? Saw him a couple of times this year and he looked pretty good.

    Kendrick Perkins was hurt.

    But this is good news for him in the future. The Celtics know they can now rely on him to come through with a few more games like this one.

    I have never liked the Celtics. Now that Red Auerbach is dead and they have a complete new team(except for Ainge who I strongly dislike) it is much easier to root for them with Glen Davis on the team. I finally got to see the replays of the the game and he looked great. Here is what is being said about his first start in the NBA. It sounds like he is gonna be a star for the Celtics.
