    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Ryan Gomes- Ryan was the best player for the Celtics in the first half. Gomes came up with the ball on many occasions, be it a steal, Rebound, or loose ball. Gomes finished two ?and 1? plays which were beautiful. Ryan just knows how to set up his defender for failure. He used up fakes and footwork to get his man off balance and is a guaranteed finish once the defender bites. Good Half.

    Ryan did much of the same things in the second half. In the post Gomes is pretty much unguardable. He needs to keep trusting his outside shot so he can successfully transition to a true small forward, but his decision making is a sound as can be and his shot mechanics are virtually flawless. Gomes is a great finisher around the basket and doesn?t lose concentration or feel when he gets hit on the follow through.

    Will Bynum- Will has had a very strong game on both sides of the floor. The first thing that jumps out at you is his ball-hawk defense. Bynum has forced the opposing point guard into two turnovers mid-court. On the offensive end, Bynum used a couple of solid jumpers to set up his drive. Bynum has finished in traffic a number of times and has taken contact when doing so. This kid has been all about toughness today, even if his point guard instincts are a little shaky.

    Tony Allen-The last of the Celtics to actually play well. Allen has been solid on both ends of the floor and it?s his hustle that makes it happen. Allen takes contact excellently, using his shoulder to body the defender in the air and finishing softly after contact. Tony loves to jump the passing lanes and has gotten his hands on some balls today including one to end the half that left him just short of time to finish a breakaway dunk.
