With the Bruins come from behind win, Manny's epic home run and another late Red Sox rally on Sunday it has been wild in Boston. And that's before tonight's game and Patriots Day - only one of the greatest days of the year - tomorrow. Meanwhile, it was great to catch Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce getting interviewed during the halftime of Lakers/Nuggets. Let's go Celtics.

Tonight
I am beside myself, The GF is away, I am on vacation and the Celts are in the playoffs. I cannot decide how to approach this and I think I may go the route I went for the Pats first SB win, I will watch the game, at home, alone and in the dark. I will be tortured by every bad play and exult for every great one. In short I am inexplicably excited about this game. I may not drink a beer until it is over.

Rondo
Is former GB reader Fly Gerald Fly, it was time to shed the NBDL name and get on board the real bandwagon.

Rondo is a nice player
But his name makes me laugh. His name, to me , sounds like a ephemism for being excited. As in: “That Pam Anderson gives me a Rajon Rondo”

That's how I spent the Pats first Super Bowl Win
Although I also had a lot of pizza for some reason. An unhealthy amount. As far as the game. I’m watching 76ers/Pistson and it’s safe to say that anything is possible.

Reggie Evans
Denver could have used him today. He’s tough, loves to rebound and may or may not be crazy. That Philly team can play. I saw them beat the Celtics live.
Celtics are already up 8-2 according to NBA.com. I guess we missed the start with the exciting finish in Detroit.

I never thought he’d be the first Celtic off the bench. He’s come a long way.

Too Many Guys?
Doc has played 10 so far:
Rondo
Pierce
Garnett
Both Allens
Powe
Perkins
Posey
Cassell
Brown
House (match ups)
That was a real concern heading into the playoffs.

Cassell
I love how Cassell struggled in his first couple of weeks with the Celtics. And then he just decided to shoot all the time. He rarely looks to pass but that’s fine, as that second unit can be offensively challenged at times.

Kinda Lackluster
Gotta move the ball and how about one fast break basket. KG’s three fouls could be problematic.

Powe ( 0 )
Seems to be havin’ a Good Time.

One Good Thing
Besides the Celtics being up 23 as I type this. Paul Pierce has been quiet. You now that won’t be the case all series.
