Wow!!!! Just have to love it. As we glory in this Celtic road trip we must not forget to give THANKS to Mrs Pierce. First, it not for her there would be no PP. Also, if not for her giving PP lunch before the game he would not have done what he did. From what I understand, she sent box lunches to PP before the Seattle and Utah games also.

Red was there last nite lighting up his cigar. Only it was in the form of brownies, passed around when it was felt the C’s had the game in hand. I know that when Tommy goes to LA Dyan Cannon makes him brownies (which I don’t think he shares). I don’t know if she made the brownies last nite. Regardless, I think we should lobby for brownies for the guys at the table when the game is won. Like Red lighting up his cigar. This would be great, especially in Boston. In the face of Planet Pollard making Canolies at Mike’s Bakery, perhaps it could be canolies made by Scott.

Outstanding links today!!!

I’m just waiting for the League to react on Odom’s garbage from last nite. I also can’t understand, and neither could Ray Allen (from his post-game interview) why Ray was called for a technical. That was a good ref that made that call and I suspect it may have been just to prevent more bad stuff from happening. I would hope that it is repealed. By the way, the officiating in the last two C’s games was fantastic. I just wish the league had more guys like this.

I knew the CS were going to win all along ;-)

It looks like Bynum freaks out against Perkins and Garnett. He’s had two awful games against the Cs this season. He’s been on fire the last two weeks with scoring, boards, blocks, etc…This is huge. If we meet the Lakers in the finals, (don’t laugh) Bynum will be vulnerable.

The Real Large James, the game plan was to take Bynum out of the game by keeping him away from the basket. The C’s executed that perfectly. You would think they would concentrate more on Kobe, but they basically played him one on one with a bit of help. I think twice in the game Perk went at Kobe,when he got open on the outside, and upset both shots.

How can a team with the 3rd best start in NBA history be ranked behind a team with 7 losses? I understand that Boston lost to the Pistons, but the Celtics have beaten most of the teams that Detroit has lost to- that has to count for something…just doesn’t make any sense…looking forward to the upcoming game.

Not to get caught up in the power rankings (I don’t even mind that the Pistons are ranked ahead of the Cs), but if you’re going to take away from the Celtics success by pointing at the schedule, shouldn’t the same criteria be applied to the Pistons?

Other than a tough road trip out West, their schedule includes a lot of the same teams that the Cs have played. Neither team has played the Spurs and Suns. The Pistons can quit the underdog talk given that most of the NBA “experts” continue to label them the best team in the East thanks to a 2 point victory in Boston.

Either way, the Pistons are a good measuring stick. Hopefully, the Cs can get some revenge this weekend.

Can’t believe you guys didn’t get into the piece on www.RallyTown.com.
