Boston Celtics-Cleveland Cavaliers: A Live Blog Of The Season Opener

I really wanted to do a live blog, and what game is better than the Reigning NBA Champion Boston Celtics versus a Cleveland Cavaliers team that was knocked out of the playoffs by these guys? This game is going to be a pretty one. Please excuse me if my analysis comes off a bit bias and I seem to root for Boston.

8:01  The game is coming. Don't you love how big stations play a pump up songs and then show big plays by the opposing players? It gets you excited!

First Quarter

8:07 Tip off, the season has begun. Cavs Ball.

8:07 Is Delonte West supposed to look like a leprechaun? CC 2-0

8:09 Celtics have 2 straight DUNKS. Ouch. 4-4

8:11 Man, Cavaliers know how to pass! CC 8-4

8:14 The Celtics are getting blocked, stolen from and just don't know what to do with the ball! CC 12-4

8:18 You see that KG commercial of his quotes? NBa 

8:24 If Ilgauskas can hit down KG, he scares me.... a lot. CC 20-11

8:27 Most intense player in the NBA (other than Garnett)? Mr. Leon Powe, who just got himself a shot + foul and then yelled at the top of his lungs. CC 22-13

8:32 Once again, Leon Powe put up a rebound with intensity! Even the announcer agrees with me, calling him 'relentless'. CC 22-18

8:35 The first quarter is done, and the Cavaliers have impressed us all. Delonte West is playing like someone who is ready to be a solid starter. LeBron has been himself, and Paul Peirce already has 11 points!

                   After 1st Quarter

Cleveland: 28            Boston: 22

8:39 As I watch Mike Brown, Cavs Coach being interviewed I get to thinking. This guy has always played with a star in LeBron James. Once he leaves Cleveland, will anyone else take him?

8:41 Crowd is ready to explode... and the Celtics miss 2 straight shots. CC 28-24

8:43 What is worse, TBS baseball coverage or TNT basketball coverage? I would have to say TBS baseball...  CC 31-26

8:45 Hey Glenn Davis, HOLD THE BALL! CC 32-28

8:47 Cleveland's Gibson has the Batman symbol in his hair. Dude, you aren't a rookie anymore, stop reading comics! CC 36-28

8:51 Celtics offense can't score when the crowd really wants it. CC 37-28

8:53 Whoa, the Cavaliers sub faster than you can say 'This is getting ugly..' CC 41-30 

8:57 I had never heard of Mo Williams before his trade to Cleveland. Yeah, Milwaukee has that affect on players. CC 41-34

8:59 I am happy for Paul Pierce that he could lose ten pounds, but I can't see them! CC 42-35

9:00 Oh! Perkins and Ilgauskas are exchanging some words. That makes that low match up a little more interesting for me. CC 42-35

9:07 Oh Pierce, My Pierce. He definitely remembers how to shoot. CC 44-38

9:11 First half is finished, Cavaliers are looking sharp. Pierce has been looking strong, but other then him the ball hasn't been controlled very well by Boston. Varejo and Delonte West have both found their groove in this game, and I don't see how the Cavs won't win this!

           After First Half

Cleveland: 50    Boston: 43

9:33 Nice start to second half for Celtics, big three from Paul. CC 50-46

9:35 What kind of Gatorade are those Celtics drinking? They are rolling back! CC 52-51

9:38 Don't you just love NBA commercials, with that slow piano solo and emotional pictures!

9:39 Its funny, Rondo is a small player yet he squeezes past 7 foot Lithuanians. BC 53-52, for the first lead of the night!

9:42 You hate to see a referee switch a foul. I mean, look how many people have to seem him as gets a embarrassed. Anyways, Pierce gets both free throw shots and are on a 9-0 run. BC 55-52

9:47 I can tell this one is going down to the line as Powe puts it in for a Boston 2. BC 59-57
