Both will be trying to get the better of each other, and it should be a good matchup. Kirilenko is a great defender, but Pierce is a great scorer. Prediction Celtics by 10.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Da_Future_2k5:</div><div class="quote_post">will Walker be playing in the game? if so wouldn't he be a starter?</div> Depends on if he can get with the Boston team quick enough and if they will let him start in his first game as a Celtic for a few seasons.
My money is on the Jazz, I feel like we can win this game, why? I don't know. But I am saying Jazz by 7.
Andrei needs to work on his man to man defense, he is a great help defender.. but when it comes to defense on the post, he just cant. Antoine gave him the business tonight.
Point Guard problems yet again, Keith McLeod went for 3 assists in 31 minutes. He's an inconsistent player. Defense was horrible yet again. One of the few good things was that Andrei Kirilenko set a new season high for points - 29.
