Make the .avi into an animated .gif with a program such as ULead (download a trial version).
Besides it's not bad to sharpen your pics because they've lost detail when you esized them, people were talking about how the height-width proportions weren't right. :wink:

Image High scoring game against the Sonics

Paul Pierce, Gary Payton & Mark Blount was the biggest impacts in the 103-100 game vs. the Supersonics

C: Mark Blount [14pts - 10rb]
PF: Walter McCarthy [6pts - 4rb]
SF: Ricky Davis [9pts - 4as - 4rb - 3stl]
SG: Paul Pierce [31pts - 3as - 4rb]
PG: Gary Payton [18pts - 4as - 5stl]

SUB: Jiri Welsch [2pts - 1as]
SUB: Tony Allen [8pts]
SUB: Marcus Banks [DNP]
SUB: Delonte West [6pts - 6as]
SUB: Raef LaFrentz [4pts - 7rb - 4blocks]
SUB: Tom Gugliotta [5pts - 5rb]
SUB: Kendrick Perkins [DNP]

Finally Paul Pierce began to hit his shots. With a 13-16 FG statistic, he was the most important player against the supersonics. His counterpart from the Supersonics Ray Allen did also have a great scoring, making 4 assists and 44 points.

Yet again the quick duo Payton and West were good commanders of the offensive game. Payton had a FG% of 70, and West made 6 good assists. He did also won the "Dunk of the Night" award (Video clip soon coming)!.

Mark Blount had a massive game near the basket, making 14 points and grabbing 4 offensive rebounds. His partners Tom Gugliotta, Raef LaFrentz and Walter McCarthy was also well playing.

The Sonics was leading in the early 4th quarter with 13 points, but a great run by Gary Payton and Paul Pierce closed the gap

Tonight coach Doc Rivers announced that Power Forward Raef LaFrentz, Tom Gugliotta & Center Kendrick Perkins was sent to Charlotte for Shooting Guard Kareem Rush, Power Forward Jamal Sampson & Center Jahidi White

Image Image Image
_________________________

Image Image Image

Coach Doc Rivers said to the Boston Globe:
I would like to thank Raef, Googs and Perkins for a good time in Boston. They were all some great guys, and we will miss them. Kareem, Jamal and Jahidi is the players we need now, so thats why the change. Tony Allen isnt experienced enough to fill out the hole if Paul gets a injury, and Jahidi is a better blocker and rebounder than Kendrick.


Next Celtics game is tomorrow in Indianapolis against the Pacers.

Image Blowout in Indianapolis

The Celtics clearly won over the Pacers, with a good team effort. 94-89

C: Mark Blount [8pts - 2rb - 4bl]
PF: Walter McCarthy [8pts - 4reb - 2bl]
SF: Ricky Davis [15pts - 6rb - 4as - 2stl]
SG: Paul Pierce [21pts - 2rb - 1as - 3stl]
PG: Gary Payton [4pts - 3as - 1stl]

SUB: Delonte West [12pts - 5as]
SUB: Marcus Banks [11pts - 5stl - 1as]
SUB: Jiri Welsch [3pts - 1rb - 1bl]
SUB: Kareem Rush [4pts - 2rb]
SUB: Tony Allen [1rb]
SUB: Al Jefferson [4pts - 7rb - 2bl]
SUB: Jahidi White [4 pts - 6rb]

The rookies were the best against Pacers. Al Jefferson played his first game, and he was very impressive. He was fouled 3 times by Jermaine O'Neal in the 3rd quarter, and played a decent offensive game. With 4pts and 7 rebounds, he was the most positive surpise of the evening.

Marcus Banks was a defensive wall, and stole the ball 5 times from Jamal Tinsley. Delonte West continued his beatiful play.

The two newcomers Kareem Rush and Jahidi White did also play a good game.

The regular startes (Blount, McCarthy, Davis, Pierce & Payton) was average, but Davis scored season high 15 points, and was looking good tonight.

Jahidi White is way better than both Gugliotta and Perkins defensively. He's no good at the offense, but i got good guards and a good, athletic forwards :)

Image Hot Celtics!

The Philadelphia 76'ers couldnt cold down the hot Celtics, and a great team effort was road to victory - 98-93

C: Mark Blount [14pts - 7rb - 3bl]
PF: Walter McCarthy [12pts - 10 reb]
SF: Ricky Davis [21pts - 3rb - 2as]
SG: Paul Pierce [18pts - 3rb - 2as]
PG: Gary Payton [14pts - 4as - 5stl]

SUB: Delonte West [5pts - 7as]
SUB: Marcus Banks [2pts - 4stl - 5as]
SUB: Jiri Welsch [2pts]
SUB: Kareem Rush [4pts - 1rb]
SUB: Tony Allen [DNP]
SUB: Al Jefferson [2pts - 5rb - 2bl]
SUB: Jahidi White [4 pts - 7rb]

This was the night of Ricky Davis. In the first quarter he started his domination with 8 pts, and continued his streak the entire game, ending scoring 21 points. His offensive go-to partner Paul Pierce was impressive again, but dissapointingly having a bad night, only scoring 8 of 17 field goals.

The Rookies Delonte West, Markus Banks & Al Jefferson wasnt that big a impact, but the did all a good job setting up the victory. Tony Allen sat over during a cold, and the doctors awaiting him to be ready in a few days.

Mark Blount and Walter McCarthy was perfect offensively, and didnt really had any problems bringing the ball to the basket. Al Jefferson and Jahidi White isnt still begining to show their skills in the offensive play, but lets hope they get hot like the rest of the team.

Newcomer Kareem Rush scored 4 points, and was quite anonymous.

The only problem in the game, was the 3rd quarter. After the half, where the Celtics lead 51-38 they went very cold in the 3rd, only scoring 12 points. Allen Iverson became injured, but Andre Igouadala really filled his place and scored 32 points.

Image Weekly Report

From a bad week, to a good week. In this week the Celtics played the first, long week with 4 matches - And they did their job, won all the matches.

This week the trade of Raef LaFrentz, Tom Gugliotta and Kendrick Perkins for Kareem Rush, Jahidi White & Jamal Sampson was succeded, and after seen Rush in action, the trade was a good and fairly one. Rush has been scoring 8 ppg (4 in the two first, 16 in the last).

The entire team has been playing superb, and there really isnt much to write about ;).

The last matches of the month is against the two Florida teams, Heat & Magic. The Heat is currently the leaders of the league, while Magic is currently at 6-6.

Image Heat was too hot!

The new Miami Heat with Shaq O'Neal & Dwyane Wade crushed the Celtics with perfect 3-point shooting and great defense - 79-89

C: Mark Blount [9ts - 11rb]
PF: Walter McCarthy [12pts - 8 reb - 2as]
SF: Ricky Davis [6pts - 3rb - 1as - 4bl]
SG: Paul Pierce [13pts - 3rb - 1as - 6stl]
PG: Gary Payton [6pts - 2as - 4stl]

SUB: Delonte West [27pts - 10as]
SUB: Marcus Banks [DNP]
SUB: Jiri Welsch [4pts]
SUB: Kareem Rush [2pts - 1rb]
SUB: Tony Allen [DNP]
SUB: Al Jefferson [2pts - 2rb]
SUB: Jahidi White [1rb - 1bl]

Delonte West really showed his potential, and was a star tonight. He did only play 3 quarters, but scoring 27 points and making 10 assists, no one could have blamed him for not taking a responsibilty at the offensive end. He knocked down threes, lead the team and scoring spectacular jams, but his teammates where all cold. When he played for the Saint Joseph Hawks, he wasnt that mature as he was yesterday - A true star will soon rise!

Paul Pierce and Ricky Davis were both cold, the only positive thing was that both of the players was good defensively, but either couldnt stop PG Dwayne Wade scoring 36 pts.

Dwyane Wade was the reason the Heat won, scoring 36 pts and making 9 assists. The other all-star, Shaq O'Neal, scored 18 points and grabbed 16 rebounds, a impressive double-double.

The two bigmen Mark Blount & Walter McCarthy wasnt good offensively either, but they grabbed 19 rebounds - 15 defensive and 4 offensive.

Veteran Gary Payton seemed overrunned by Delonte West, and he only made 6 points in his first quarter, and was substituted due to his 3-7 stats.

Image No Magic by Orlando

The Orlando Magic wasnt warmed up, and Delonte West did once again double-double. 97-89

C: Mark Blount [6ts - 6rb - 8bl]
PF: Walter McCarthy [9pts - 6 reb]
SF: Ricky Davis [12pts - 3rb - 3as - 1bl]
SG: Paul Pierce [25pts - 4rb - 1as - 5stl]
PG: Gary Payton [2as - 4stl]

SUB: Delonte West [29pts - 15as - 5rb]
SUB: Marcus Banks [DNP]
SUB: Jiri Welsch [2pts - 5rb]
SUB: Kareem Rush [2pts]
SUB: Tony Allen [2pts]
SUB: Al Jefferson [10pts - 3rb]
SUB: Jahidi White [DNP]

Rookie phenomenon Delonte West has been a monster the last two games. Scoring 29pts (career high) and making 15 assists (career high). He was defended by a almost non existing Steve Francis. He was substituted twice for rookie Jameer Nelson, but none of them could cool down West.

Coach Doc Rivers said this at the press conference after the game:
"You have now seen, why we picked Delonte last summer. He's a good atlethic pointguard, and does accutally remind me about Steve Francis. He drives extremely good, and his distance shooting is good too"

Paul Pierce lighted up and scored 25 points, and played a good game. His defensive game was good, and he's now ranked #3 in the league in SPG, and 15 in PPG.

Ricky Davis scored 12 points, and was a good breakaway player against the slow Orlando team.

The best player of the Magics was Grant Hill, who scored game high 30 points and was the only go-to guy the Magic had on offense.

Grant Hill fouls Delonte West - He scored 6-6 freethrows against the Magic.

Gary Payton wants to leave Boston!
The legendary point guard Gary "The Glove" Payton has announced that he's determined to leave Boston. The two rookies, Delonte West to & Markus Banks, has taken his time on the court, and he now wants to find a team where he will be first priority and a main-player, instead of sharing his minutes with the two promising rookies.

Another player who isnt happy in Boston, is Paul Pierce. His season has been average, but he hasnt been shining at all.

Doc Rivers: "It's sad to see, that two of our main guys isnt happy in Boston. Paul has been the leader and superstar on the team the last 3 years. He can't be replaced, but if we get a good offer, we will consider a trade. Gary is also a unreplaceable player. He's a good all round player but with the two promising rookies, we think that a trade with him is a posibility. "

'Melo on his way to Bean Town?
There's been alot of speculations about Paul Pierce is leaving Boston. Some say that he's over the hill, and some thinks that he's still a good leader. He's been average in the most games, hitting 18-20 points per game. But he has definately had some very bad games, only scoring 8-10 points per game.

The Point Guard Gary Payton isnt going to play anymore for the Celtics, and has left the bench. Is a trade with him and Paul Pierce a posibility?

Doc Rivers: "I cant comment any trade spectaculations - No negotiations has started - yet. A player like Carmelo Anthony would be a good addition to the lineup, and I would really like him with our promising team."
