That was a huge win for the Celtics. As I described before, it puts them in the pole position to secure home-court advantage, and they are 27-4 at home this year. Boston is a tough place for a visiting team to win. And for the record –
KG – 31 pts, 6 boards
Pierce – 15 pts, 5 assists
Rondo – 16 pts, 5 assists
Perk – 10 pts, 20 boards
I didn’t realize Perk dominated the boards like that last night until I saw the box score. Looks like the PJ Brown signing was the fire that needed to be lit under his ass (although it turns out Pollard is out for the year and that’s why they signed him). I also love that the Pistons can’t stop Garnett to save their lives. Because of these facts, only two things scare me, and one is the LeBron show – it looks like the only force that could (I emphasize, could) stop the Celts from going to the Finals (What's the other thing that scares me, you ask? That would be carnies ... circus folk ... nomads, you know ... smell like cabbage ... small hands). Also, the magic number for home-court advantage throughout the playoffs is 18. The road for the NBA title could be going through Boston. In the words of Brian Fantana, “I’m very aroused.”
