Up 2-0 after blowout?
The Garden was rockin', everybody including the announcers were talking about game 3 in LA Tuesday. Lakers kept hitting shots and the Celtics would hold the ball and wait until the shot clock went under 10 and then have a bad or no shot.
Kept wondering what Doc was doing, maybe PJ Brown and Powe needed to get off the bench again, after all, it was on their watch that the lead ballooned to 24.
Here is the box score, I haven't seen a +/- stat in basketball but assume it is team differential while player is on the floor. Take a look at KG and Posey:
A win is a win, I like the way Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, obviously PJ Brown and Leon Powe played. Rondo played good enough too, missed too many foul shots (team missed 11) but ran the offense and was very active defensively.
Powe was a beast tonight, no offense to Doc for not playing him against Detroit much, but this guy should start in a couple of years.
On to LA, up 2-0, steal at least one there and finish at home. I like the chances, although the Lakers will thrive with the support of the crowd, much the way the Celtics did these two games.
BTW - loved the piece on ESPN about how split Bill Walton is on who to cheer for, please, baby Walton might be a nice piece for a team out of the playoffs, but is he a contributor to a championship team? Don't think so. 38 points for Laker Eastern Europeans tonight (see post after game 1)
