Delonte Day-to-Day with Hip Pointer

November 23, 2005
CLEVELAND -- Suffering from a left hip pointer, Delonte West hobbled through the visitors' locker room after the Celtics' 115-93 loss to the Cavaliers last night at Quicken Loans Arena. When it was suggested that he looked like an old man, West replied, "I feel like an old man."

Delonte Goes for 14, 9, 9, and 4 in W over Marbury and Knicks

Delonte West has been devoted to studying Stephon Marbury and game tape since his days at Saint Joseph's. For that reason, he saw ways to exploit the play of the Knicks' starting point guard, and put that knowledge to work last night as he led the Celtics to a 114-100 victory in the season opener at the TD Banknorth Garden.

In the process, West recorded career highs in rebounds (9), assists (9), and blocks (4) to go with 14 points. Following the example set by West, the Celtics outrebounded the Knicks, 57-41. West appeared to be everywhere and called the performance the best of his young career.

There were no trumpeters outside the Celtics locker room. After all, the point guard rotation has been hyped as the great mystery of training camp 2005.
