The Celtics were flat on Friday and lost to a team they had no business losing to. You would think that they would keep the throttle down tonight, but not so much. After building a 20 point lead early in the 2nd quarter, they let the Wolves maintain that margin by trading baskets for much of the game. Then the Wolves made a run in the 4th forcing Doc to insert the starters back in the game. Where's the killer instinct? Like Tommy said, when you go up big early, go for a 50 point win. Oh well, it ended up being a large win anyway. I just hope they can shake this trend.
- Question for number 42: Who are you and what have you done with Tony Allen? I only ask so I can welcome you to the team and make sure you disposed of the body properly. (15 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and zero turnovers)
- Pierce was a perfect 6 for 6 from three point range. Gotta love that.
- We may have seen the play of the year with that Eddie House around the back save to Tony for the facial dunk and the foul.
- There was a nice encore with Rondo lefty-spin-long-bounce pass to Tony who put a wraparound pass into Perkins' hands for the easy slam.
- Al Jefferson still has it. Nice to see.
- I will say, the goodwill I have for that team with Big Al and Ryan Gomes is nearly negated by the presence of Rambis and Laimbeer.
- Johnny Flynn (go Syracuse!) sure can play, can't he?
- Rondo keeps racking up the assists. 15 tonight to go with his 13 points. All Star. Period.
- Seven, count 'em, seven players in double figures (and Eddie added 7).
- Tommy had some fun with the fact that there were only 2 refs (due to the snow). Good times.
- According to Jessica Camerato: "Celtics improved to 4-0 when scoring more than 30 points in the first quarter. They are also 4-0 on Sundays."
