I didn't get to see the game till later (DVR) and only caught the 2nd half (long story that you don't care about, but it includes taking down Christmas decorations - aren't you glad I spared you that story?) but here are some thoughts from the game.

• The Celtics led by as many as 20 but let the Raps back in it.  Allowing a late 17-5 run didn't help.
• If Ray Allen doesn't hit 8 three pointers, we might have lost this game.
• If we don't play better, we might see another losing streak begin.
• Perkins was out (sore shoulder), so that doesn't help.  However, Scalabrine played well in an increased role.
• Big Baby didn't.  He was 1-12 from the floor in 30 minutes of play.  At least he grabbed 11 rebounds.
• Rondo had a nasty dunk
• Scal don't back down from nobody
• Lots more game notes by HoopsAddict including this one:  "Glen “Big Baby” Davis is so huge that when he fell in the third quarter I heard the thud all the way up in the gondola here at the Air Canada Centre."

I was hoping for a nice layup game.  This one wasn't pretty, but it got us going in the right direction.  Lets hope the trend continues tomorrow in Boston.
