76ers Crushed by Stifling D, Celts win 102 - 78

Perksixers_medium

A quick recap as I'm still working off a post-turkey daze.  

  • The defense was devistating tonight.   Philly had 28 points at the half.  Twenty Eight Points.   And a frosty 47 at the start of the 4th quarter.  For  perspective, the Warriors scored that much mid-way through the second quarter on Wednesday.
  • Rondo was again Frantic Man and owned the game in the second and third quarters. 
  • The highlight sequence was three vicious dunks from Kevin Garnett in the third quarter within a 2-3 minute span.  
  • Ray had a great feel tonight and hit jumpers on four consecutive trips down the court at one stretch.
  • As Tommy aptly pointed out, BBD must have had extra turkey yesterday as he was full of energy and did a great job on the glass early on.
  • It was very very nice to have Tommy back.

yes, it was good to see and hear tommy again. the c’s are really rolling and it looks so easy and smooth. yes, the sixers are not quite there yet, but they’re not chopped liver either. rondo just looks more and more like a bonafide all star and a floor general none like here since the cooz. too bad comcast kicked out the cooz- would like to hear him comment on rondo.

Rondo's the big difference this season.

The Celtics aren’t playing their best basketball yet, but closing in on it. And the big difference from a year ago is not the absence of James Posey. It’s the fact that the offense is now being initiated by Rondo. A year ago, Garnett and Pierce would start things up on most of the trips down the court. Now it’s being fired off by Rondo, and at his speed. When he’s operating at hyperspeed, the Celtics play pretty darn well.

I agree it was great hearing Tommy again. After the terrible news about his wife it was great to see him in good spirits. As for the game I was going to go to this one but ended up watching it on TV but they looked great. I appreciate your blogs, you can tell their coming from a true celtics fan props.

Hope Pruitt got some good pointers from Sam

cause it’s looking like the C’s have a logjam at PG and SG

Bleed Green. What does it mean? Ask Red.

Big Baby

Was there really any doubt that Davis would eat extra turkey?

I dont want to come off as complaing, but what is with KG’s rebounding this year? only 2 tonight….weird

What happened to Pierce's scoring this year? Tonight he only had 6....

Come on, this was a blowout, none of the individiual #s matter when your team wins by 20+

Noone on this celtics team is going to win mvp; but that wont stop them from being the best team in the league.

Wow, seems like we’re getting amped up to a real Battle of the Titans of the 80’s part 2: Lakers vs. Celtics 2008-? edition (with the edge to the C’s of course)

=)

In The Past

When past Celtic teams won all those championships no players led the league in scoring. Russ may have led in rebounds if they were even kept track of. They played as a team. Each guy did his job. If someone was hot they kept going to him till he cooled off. Forget about KG’s rebounds. Rondo had about 12 and many were due to Perk blocking out their main rebounder. Don’t know how many rebounds Perk had. Pierce took 6 shots. Did he need to take more? And our defensive numbers could have been better if we didn’t loosen up in the last quarter. We need to get re-accustomed to the fact that we again have a winning TEAM in Boston. The only stat that matters is who won the game and who brings home the “Gold Ball”.

Amen to all of that.
