We’ve had a nice vacation against the crappiest teams in the league…. now… its time to get ready for some fun:
I’d like to thank the Washington Generals for travelling with the Celtics this past week. It was especially nice of them to bring Chicago, Memphis, Philadelphia and Seattle uniforms with them. That’s a lot of packing. Kudos to their equipment manager.
Over the next 8 days… The Celtics will play 5 teams that are within 3 1/2 games of the top spot out West (with a Saturday raping of the Milwaukee Bucks also penciled in). First up: Utah on Friday… and then a Monday/Tuesday/Thursday jump into what Paul Pierce calls the “Texas Triangle” (San Antonio, Houston and Dallas).
Also… I want to highlight a point made by my buddy Ken at the game:
KG hit 7 of 14 shots. As my buddy Ken pointed out…. most of his 7 makes were when he caught the ball and stepped into the shot. Most of his 7 misses were on some sort of fadeaway. If you notice his play recently, he’s stepping into a lot of shots around the top of the key… and hitting most of them. Ken also noticed that Rajon Rondo is doing a very good job of giving KG the ball a little ahead of him… giving the natural motion of stepping into his shot.
