    [quoteright]"I was nervous, but I was able to go out and make a couple of plays," said Baker, who had 8 points on 3-of-3 shooting, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocked shots, and a steal in 18 minutes. "I definitely wanted to be aggressive. I've got to do the best that I can. I just want to help. I can't control how many touches I get, but I can control my effort. If I do that, everything will fall into place."[/quoteright]

    Though the Celtics lost last night, you could chalk it up as a moral victory for Vin Baker. After a horrible season last year, admitted alcohol abuse, and his weight loss over the summer, Vin is looking to make an impact this season. Hopefully he can perform.

    In another note about the game, Kedrick Brown had 18 points and 5 rebounds in 27 minutes, a great start for the player who has been supposed to become the third option on this team.

    Baker had a sweet rebound and putback while getting fouled, he grabbed the board up high over 2-3 other people.

    Vin looks back!
