Globe Big win is this team's dream
FL's Take: As I write this, the game is about to start and the winner will face Spain who just beat Lithuania.
Queen Mother
FL's Take: I love Lisa Leslie. She is my favorite player. She has been one of the classiest players in basketball for her entire career and has accomplished a staggering legacy as a player and ambassador for the game.

FL's Take: Come on Paul.... get to work. The season is nearing and you can't rest on your past accomplishments. Other teams are out there working hard to beat the Celtics and if the Celtics don't work just as hard, they will be in for a big fall this season.

Sports of Boston Celtics player review: Kendrick Perkins
FL's Take: I love Perk. As I have said many times, Perk's value to the team is not in the box score but all the things he does to help the team win that don't show up in the box score: setting picks, defending the paint, being an intimidator, boxing out for teammates to get rebounds, etc. When Perk didn't play in game 5, his importance was seen by the way Gasol and Odom dominated without him there to stop them. And, he is going to keep getting better.

Vote for Leon (Voting ends Saturday)
FL's Take: I am heartbroken that the Pistons' fans were able to get more votes for Maxiell than the Celtics got for Leon. But then again, I imagine there are a lot of Lakers' fans, Cavs' fans, and others voting for Maxiell along with the Pistons' fans. Leon is better, no matter how the voting ends.

FL's Take: This reminds me a lot of the stories I have read about Larry Bird. He always was frugal and there are many stories about things like this where Larry refused to buy something because he felt they were overcharging.
