Leon Powe Steps Up.Watch as Leon Powe erupted for 21 points off the bench to help the Celtics hold off the Lakers for a thrilling Game 2 win Sunday.
Still no respect
tommypoint.com 6/9/2008 — Listening to Phil Jackson and Kobe Bryant in the postgame interviews, they both said, without saying it, that they were getting hit and not getting calls. That there's no way Leon Powe should have more free throw attempts than the Lakers team. Well, here's some basic knowledge for you that you obviously do not understand - it's hard to get to the line when you settle for jump shots. The Celtics we
The Vaunted Lakers Defense
redsarmy.wordpress.com 6/9/2008 — I’ve been driving the Leon Powe bandwagon since day 1, but even I can acknowledge his limitations. For instance… there’s no way in hell that Leon Powe should go coast-to-coast, untouched, when 3 Lakers are already on the defensive end of the court. This might be the most embarrassing, pathetic thing I’ve seen. Leon is not blazing fast. He’s a bulky power forward. Yet he took the ball 90 feet…

greenbandwagon.com 6/9/2008 —
Since I've been calling for him to get more time since the Atlanta series I feel vindicated by Leon Powe's performance. 21 points (6-7 from the field, 9-13 from the line), 2 rebounds, and 4 fouls in close to 15 minutes of time. I'm not sure if he ...
Laker Nation vs. NBA Referees
myespn.go.com 6/9/2008 — If my email inbox is to be believed, the story of Game 2 was not Paul Pierce's knee, why Leon Powe only played 14 minutes, or the Lakers' 0-4 record against Boston this season. The story was the referees, who called seven more fouls on the Lakers ...

Leon Powe came off of the bench to contribute a ...
I'm Speechless
upsideandmotor.blogspot.com 6/9/2008 — Oh, but not because anything in last night's game was particularly awe-inspiring or breathtaking -- but just because I don't feel I can offer anything that hasn't already been said: the Lakers got hosed on calls (?! Wait, the Lakers did???), Leon Powe is a beast (even moreso than Perk), Kobe being a jumpshooter is not good for the Lakers, and so far Paul Pierce has been the best player in this...

Sunday night’s Game 2 was looking to become a boring blowout, as the Celtics were up on the Lakers by 22 after three quarters of play. But before we had a chance to flip over to the “Family Guy” repeat on Channel 11, Kobe & crew stormed back, coming to within four with 20 seconds left.

Can Danny?
POWE! Leon was truly The Professional tonight against the Lakers. His aggresiveness was the key. I loved that in the post-game interview, Phil Jackson complained about the officiating and that Leon shot more free throws than the the Laker team and then one queston later was asked about how Leon Powe was somehow able to drive down the lane for a wide open dunk. Eventually Phil admitted that ...

Pau Gasol, I must apologize to you. I am sorry Pau Gasol for calling you “soft.” I also apologize on behalf of the other writers at The Hoop Doctors who have ever called you soft. There is no way that anyone who throws down a dunk as nasty as we saw tonight in Game 2, right in the grill of “The Big Ticket” Kevin Garnett, can be called “soft” by anyone at ...
