The Boston Celtics dominated the 2nd half last night as they outscored the Sixers 62-32! The Celtics shot an amazing 58.9% from the floor and 63.6% (14 of 22) from three point range. Ray Allen led the way for the Celtics with 23 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals. Paul Pierce backed up Allen with 22 points and 3 assists. Rajon Rondo missed the game and Eddie House started in his place and he had a good game. House scored 15 points, grabbed 4 rebounds and dished out 4 assists. The Celtics improved to 32-6 on the season with this win.

Reserve guard Tony Allen was a guard the Celtics were depending on to help off of the bench this season but he still hasn’t got things together yet. He’s off to a poor start in December as he’s played in 4 games and he has averaged 17.3 minutes, 5.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists. He also is only shooting 35% from the floor and that just won’t get it done.

Brian Scalabrine hasn’t done much for the Celtics so far this season and he could start losing playing time if he doesn’t improve. He has averaged 11.7 minutes, 2.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game. He also is only shooting 35% from the floor and that just won’t get it done. Glen “Big Baby” Davis will take his playing time away if he doesn’t improve soon.

The Celtics have given Scalabrine a large boost in playing time and he’s not doing much with it. In his last 6 games, Scalabrine is averaging 4.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 26.8 minutes. He’s also only shooting 25% from the floor over those six games and he will find himself back on the bench soon if he doesn’t improve his play on the court.

The fact that Olowokandi is even on the Celtics roster is baffling to me. He has no future with the Celtics and he hasn’t done much when he has got on the court. He has averaged 9.9 minutes, 1.7 points and 2.1 rebounds per game this season and he’s only shooting 39.5% from the floor which is pathetic for a center. The Celtics should have given the 188 minutes that Olowokandi has played to Kendrick Perkins or Leon Powe.Â
