Sixers Stun Celtics at Home

Leon Powe's 16 points and team leading 7 rebounds were not enough to lead the Boston Celtics passed the Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers went on a 19-0 run in the 4th quarter, taking the lead and the game 95-90.

Leon, who again was the Celtics player of the game, did not get the help from the other players to finish the job against Philadelphia. The big three did a nice job, but the other role players didn't contribute and it killed the Celtics. Doc Rivers had some funny substitution patterns that probably didn't help as well but there's still no excuse for losing to the 76ers at home.

Even though the Celtics loss, I'm always proud when I see Leon show up and do his thing. There should be no more questions about Leon at this point. He's improving every time he steps on the floor. People often think Leon is just a scrap guy, but lately he's starting to show he can be a go to guy in the post. Leon's hard work with assistant coach Clifford Ray is really paying off. Hopefully Doc is paying attention so we can see more Leon as the playoff get closer.

Celtics Take Texas

The Boston Celtics completed their sweep of Texas with a 94-90 win over the Dallas Mavericks. This was an ugly game at times but the Celtics got the job done. Thanks to our once again player of the game, Leon Powe. Leon didn't have a great game statistically like he had against the Rockets, but his presence was still very important.

Leon had 6 points, 2 rebounds, one block, one assist, and 78 Tommy points by my count. Another good game by Leon, and another win for the Celtics. Lets keep this train rollin!

Leon puts an end to Rockets' Streak

Leon Powe and the Boston Celtics ended the Houston Rockets 22 game win streak in a 94-74 routing in Houston. Leon Powe was clearly the player of the game in this one, scoring 21 points in 20 minuets. Us Leon Powe fans were not surprised by this performance. TNT commentator Doug Collins kept saying, "no one would have ever thought Leon Powe would be the leading scorer in the first half." Well Doug, I'd like to say some of us saw it coming.

Once AGAIN, Leon showed if given the playing time he will produce and play big. If Leon would have gotten 48 minuets he would have scored 50 at the pace he was scoring at. On top of it Powe was getting hacked and couldn't get a foul called. But still Leon was able to have a legendary game.

I don't know about everyone else, but I thought after Leon hit that jump shot he was going to give the Michael Jordan shrug. The shrug that you give when you just can't miss or be stopped. It was one of those nights for Leon. Hopefully after seeing a game like this, Doc will wake up and give Leon the minuets he's earned.

Leon Powe Interview on NECN

(NECN) - He may not be a household name among New England basketball fans, but his story is one of the most inspirational in the NBA.

Boston Celtics center Leon Powe grew up in Oakland, spent time in homeless shelters and foster homes, and still was able to make his way to the University of California and the NBA.

The second-year forward stopped by NECN to talk with Chris Collins about the Celtics' turnaround, life in the NBA and the team's hopes for the playoffs.

Utah Hands Boston Worst its loss of the Season

The Boston Celtics ended their win streak Friday by receiving their worst loss of the season to the Utah Jazz 110-92.

This loss could have been avoided had Doc Rivers new how to use his bench. Glen "Big Baby" Davis got way too many minuets once again and did nothing with them. Davis has his moments, but to leave him in there instead of having Leon Powe or Kendrick Perkins in is just ridiculous. Powe and Perk were having great games but they sat on the bench while Davis did nothing.

Leon was of course perfect as usual, going 3 for 3 from the field, 2 for 2 from the free throw line, giving him 8 points, 4 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 assist, and 1 block all in just 13 minuets of play. Davis in 15 minuets scored 2 points, got 0 rebounds, 3 fouls, 2 turnovers and that's it. But in crunch time Davis got the minuets and Leon didn't. That's pathetic especially when we all know Powe is the real Mr. Clutch, he's never missed a game winning shot!

So again this was a frustrating game to watch but at least Leon did a great job when he was aloud to see the floor.

Celtics Blow Out Sonics, win 10th straight

The Boston Celtics blew out the Seattle Supersonics 111-82 to win their 10th straight victory. This is the first time the Celtics have won 10 in a row since the 85-86 team with the other big 3 leading the way.

Leon Powe contributed again scoring 8 points and grabbing 6 rebounds in his limited time. Another solid game by Leon, but I think we all expect that from him by now. It seems like it doesn't matter how long Powe play, he still makes the most of his minuets and finds a way to help the team.

The Boston Celtics easily took apart the Chicago Bulls 116-93 at home Friday. The Celtics took the lead early and it never looked back.

Leon Powe had 10 points, 3 rebounds and 2 block shots in 15 minuets of play. Of course Leon had another productive game despite not having a large amount of playing time. Good Job Leon!
