I've been busy all day and it's not slowing down for a couple more hours. So I'm going to have to go light on the preview tonight. For me it's all about Mo Williams. Can he step up and help LeBron James share the offensive load? For the Celtics I'm watching Bill Walker and Rajon Rondo. I'd love to see the latter go after Cleveland's point guards. ...

- The Rockets had 45 free throws after 3 quarters. That's insane. - Tommy Heinsohn is pushing Gabe Pruitt aggressively right now. I'm not ready to buy. - The Bill Walker era could go a lot of different ways. Off the top of my head: 1. Guy who plays way too hard and gets injured as a result. Think Delonte West in Boston. 2. D-League stud. 3. Loose cannon. 4. Contributing role player. 5. Garbage time, highlight reel machine. 6. Overly excited, to the point that it's a little weird, end of the bench guy. 7. League leader in chest bumps. 8. Some combination of the previous 7 suggestions. - "Classic Leon." - Tommy Heinsohn after Powe grabbed a rebound, tried to rip off Chuck Hayes' arm, and then got to the line. I still think Powe needs to be around a little longer and play more to have classic moments. But I was terrified of Powe at that moment. - From my preview earlier today - "If Patrick O'Bryant continues to impress and emerges as the back up center, Davis will be in a bind. He needs to approach these games with a sense of urgency. He's in a contract year, is competing for time with Leon Powe, behind KG of all people, and does not appear to be in peak condition. Furthermore, Powe gets buckets, is incredibly intense, and is also in a contract year. Davis could be relegated to the bench." Davis must of read it as he responded with a solid effort. At the same time, even Tommy admitted that Davis was "huffing and puffing." - One of t ...

- I was impressed with how quickly Mo Williams pushed the ball up the court when he set his mind to it. In fact during the first several possessions of the game Williams, and LeBron James, pushed the ball aggressively. And on one of those plays I caught Zydrunas Ilgauskas in the background, running as hard as possible with a, "You've got to be freaking kidding me" look on his face. - I know Tommy Heinsohn annoys some people, particularly non-Boston fans. Yet every now and then he'll drop a Maurice Stokes reference . I respect that and fans of other NBA teams should too. As a side note the reference was part of a comparison to LeBron. - Of course Heinsohn also yelled, "Classic Leon Powe!" at one point. Has Powe been around enough/played enough to have classic moves? Heinsohn went on to say that Powe will be better than Charles Oakley. Classic Tommy Heinsohn. - Having said all that, Powe gets buckets. More after the jump... - These alternate venues always throw me off a bit. During last night's game I kept thinking the C's were playing in San Antonio. The floor reminded me of the AT&T Center. Randomly Neil Diamond is going to rock that joint on Sunday. - One underrated aspect of Tony Allen's ridiculous run during that dreadful 2007 season? He was an iron man. When healthy he can run all night. Speaking of the 2007 season. About 7 minutes into the game Leon Powe was whistled for an offensive foul right after Rajon Rondo threw a pass ...

Several points: 1. Kevin Garnett is entering his 14th NBA season. 2. Last night was Boston's third preseason game. 3. It was the second game of a back-to-back. 4. No one would have said anything if Rafer Alston scored an uncontested lay up in that situation. Despite all that KG went for the block. Celtics fans should make sure they enjoy Garnett's time in Boston. ...
