Response to: Celtics Blow Out Suns

The Celtics seem to be regaining their swagger back after hitting a rough patch Stating on Christmas day. Having now won 5 straight games, look for the Celtics to regain the top spot in the Eastern Conference.

The all had very good numbers, but all of them had limited minutes. None of the starters played in the 4th quarter because they opened it with a 31 point lead. Honestly I think that it is a good thing that the starters are playing fewer minutes recently because the have all looked tired recently, and seem to need rest.

I did not watch the second half of the game because of the 30 point halftime lead. I figured the game was over. So a thank you to the Celtics for letting me go to bed early that night.

I plan to do a background post on the Obama topic, but I respect the decision of Doc Rivers to get the Florida road trip early so that the team could watch the historical moment on TV. I respect Ray Allen for making the trip himself, midway through the heart of the season, he thought that this moment was important enough to make time for.

Celtics Blow Out Suns

Celtics 104 Suns 87

The Celtics have won 5 games straight.

Rajon Rondo played well 23 pts 7 assists. Paul pierce 12 pts 8 reb 8 ast. Ray Allen 20 pts. Kevin Garnett 16 pts 8 reb. Kendrick Perins did not play again due to his sore shoulder. Somewhat suprisingly, Brian Scalabrine (like Skaluhbreeny if you didn't know) started this game in place of Perk.

Celtics opened up to a 21-7 lead and never looked back.

The suns never saw the lead or tie after the the C's gained a 2-0 lead.

Ray Allen is planning to attend the inauguration of Barack Obama in person, while coach Doc Rivers thought that it was important that the team flew down to miami earlier than scheduled so that they could watch it on tv.
