    ?Oh, yeah,? said West, who took a bad fall late in the first half of the 116-105 loss to the Denver Nuggets. ?That?s the plan. I definitely want to go (tonight in Los Angeles). We?re just going to do extreme treatment (last night and today) leading up to the game, and we?ll give it a go for sure.? </div>

    Sebastian Telfair is an absolute joke of a PG. I watched him throw in the towel last night against the Clippers and fake a sprain after the refs didn't give him a call he wanted.

    He has terrible instincts on both ends of the court, doesn't know how to feed the ball in the post with the proper angles, and can't finish layups in traffic.

    He was getting lit up by Daniel Ewing and Shaun Livingston.

    I'm guessing Telfair is very impressive in practices, because he has quickness in his favor. I'm sure he gets into the paint fairly easily during scrimmages and can probably dominate in practice because no one is running at full speed. All this is just fool's gold, and Doc Rivers can't see through it.

    Tony Allen on the other hand is great. He plays so much energy on the court and does the little things to help his team win. He was relentless in the Clipper game taking it to the rim and drawing contact. He deflected passes, rotated on defense and always seemed to be in them mix. He picked a couple of cheap fouls, but Allen is pure hustle.
